Week 1

We began the our first project lesson of the week by introducing us to our new project "Component 3" which is about creating a music video production package, including album, music video, and social media page. We began as researching on music industries, or music video production companies. In class we were told to answer specific questions displayed in the front of the class to better get a grasp at the music industry we would eventually choose. We also decided to finally finalize our group members, but haven't picked a specific song or genre that will heavily inspire our music video in our

Week 2

Our team finally landed on a genre that we all agreed on that genre being RnB. We researched and looked at various music videos and are going to go deeper into it in our free time. I think we had a slightly harder time trying to understand conventions from the music video/song since the RnB genre is a little difficult to understand

Week 3

WE continued our research in class to find the song genre for our music video, and ended up with R&B Indie and Indie, in the future we'll lean into one of these genres. Some unfinished work that needs to get done are the genre research & Industry research. 

Week 4

Our team had started our statement of intent, and thankfully finished it on the same day. However, we might feel unsatisfied about it and may update it in the future.

Week 5

Our team began filling out our mood board, and ended up completing 2 pages of our mood board. The rest of the time was used to plan and create some parts of the storyboard. Thankfully our teacher gave us a nice template to use so we wouldn't have to take up a big portion of our time making the boxes for the storyboard.

Week 6

For the entire week, we worked on our project and focused on our location & risk assessment, as well as our filming schedule. Our deadline for pre-production is next week and are going to work on it during our day offs so that we're able to submit everything before the deadline. So far my checklist is somewhat half done. So, I think I'm able to complete everything before the deadline at my own pace

Week 7

We began the week with our last project lesson for the semester, and used the next day to practice for our semestral exams by reviewing our past topics such as media consolidation, as well as having a surprise test practice for our semesteral exam. Afterwards, we reviewed our own work and came up with improvements that we may be able to do in the upcoming actual semestral exam.

Here's a checklist that I followed to keep track of my work

Self Reflection:

My weekly progress and plan again didn't really help me in keeping track of my progress since I barely look at it unless I'm updating it. However, the checklist that my teacher gave me was very useful to me, since I could easily update my work and knew exactly what I was missing. This really helped me keep track of my progress so that I was organised, I think that I used it really well.
