This is the weekly diary of our Music Video project, which includes our progress each week.
Week 1
- My Group and I made this Plan for our music video, We would try to follow this plan as we continue the project. In addition, I would also keep track of my progress in this post.
- Today all in class we decided to choose a Music Video for our component 3.
- I began research on the music videos and completed quite a lot 1 Big ones and 4 Smalls ones at home, While in class Mr Nick gave us Two music videos as extra research which I completed and I also did another one Which brings up the total to 1 Big research and 7 Smalls ones . I would likely continue the research constantly as we move on through the project as the more references I can get the better.
- We also decided the teams Which is Me, Jonathan, Jason and Abizer.
- As team we haven't really decided what genre our Music video should go as. Though following our research it's pretty likely that that we'd chose the Indie genre.
Week 2
- I Continued my research and by Monday I finished everything and reached the minimum with 2 Big Reviews and 7 Small reviews. Like before I would continue researching other music videos and put in the blog as we go through the project.
- So far In my opinion, I'm 90% Sure that our music video would be from the indie genre. This is because, Music videos from those types of genre seems to be most easiest and simplest to make. This is shown in my research of 'No Buses' or 'The Vaccines'. While we can certainly do music videos from other genres, I feel like it wouldn't come out that great especially since we don't have the ability to make high quality videos. On top of that, within the indie genre, Having low budget videos is sort of the style of that genre. We could also put a lot of fun and creative things in there.
- We started our Pre - Plan on the music video and for now our ideas are all over the place with no clear definition. But Through the weekend we'll research more and find some places or ideas.
Week 3
- After some more research we finally decided on the song that we'd be doing. Which is ' Ghost Town ' made by Kanye featuring PARTYNEXTDOOR. I seem to have an idea of what the music video would look like, But I'd think more about it as we go on.
- In class me and my team made a mind map that includes all the ideas that have for the music video. We listed out the locations, concepts, possible actors and plot. Nothing too concrete but there is some progress.
- After dividing the tasks between members, I started off making the storyboard for our music video. I made it until scene three so far which is around a minute into the song, Considering that the song is 5 minutes long, there's still a lot of work to be done. Though there are solid ideas and concepts.
- At the end of the week we put all of our ideas into a Google Slide. It still not done, but we'd continue it in the weekend and next week. We'd also try to find possible shooting locations and maybe even start gathering footage.
Week 4
- This week I did the storyboard for our music video , While the rest my team did researched on the Digipack or Thumbnail for our covers.
- As of writing, I got the storyboard 90% Complete and it likely be done by today. I also finished the main research for the storyboard, so all concepts is complete.
- We've also finalized on the concept for our digipack, Album names, artist names and song lists. So far its good progress.
- We would likely do more concept shoots in the next week or we might even do the actual music video footage.
- We also need to find more actors to play the roles in our music video. ( Maybe our friends could play these roles. )
Week 5
- Last Weekend at Saturday I planned to go to the beach to catch a sunset and get some concept pictures for the music video. Though the weather was very cloudy and my hopes of catching a sunset did not come true. I came out of that day with a shots of the beach in cloudy weather, which I don't think would cut it in the actual music video.
- The next day at Sunday, Out group meet up in my house to discuss about the music video by giving even more ideas , concept shoot ideas and actual shoots at my house. I did the shooting that time and we got a few clips. Nothing would make it to the actual music video, but it was good practice for us.
- I Made my Storyboard post in the blog, along with it detailed explanations on what each scenes contain and what we want to portray or send a message across to the audience.
- We Continued and Did a concept shoot in Media class at Friday, The shoot focused on 'SCENE 3' which came out quite good in my opinion. From this shoot, We would likely continue all of our football scenes in School as we have the means and a good location for it.
- Next week I would focus more on shooting 90% of scenes, in both the weekends or weekdays.
Week 6
- We continued making the Music Video, I went to the beach with some of my friends and during the weekend this week, We would have a sleepover in a friends to wrap up and take most our shots there.
- The weather was quite cloudy in Friday, so I didn't think we would be able to take the football scenes, But it came out quite good, We shot at the football scene in school. It was difficult in trying to get the position of our shots.
- Since most our friends are busy and It doesn't seem like the weather is letting up, We might have to cancel the hanging out with friends in the beach scene. So might have to find an alternative or look in the next week if we can shoot together.
- We didn't shoot as much as I hoped in the weekdays since all of us were busy doing other things, But I hope when we do the sleepover We can finish up the footage. At this point only 50% of our footage is finished.
- As for digipack and social media, they are for the most part done with designs and concepts completed. The work for digipack and social media is all done by my other group members, Jonathan. Jason and Abizer.
Week 7
- We did not have any Project lesson in class this week, so Instead I worked on the music video by doing research on YouTube and Finding the right software to use for editing the music video.
- In the end I choose Hit Film editing software, as it has plenty of effects and its completely free.
- During the field trip I also recorded a few shots which I hope could be included into our music video.
Week 8
- I finally started on my editing, after doing some practice runs by trying the effects, transitions, or cuts. I also did the built in tutorial, within Hit Film which helped learned the tools and basics of the software.
- The Music video currently at Friday this week is 30% complete. I am planning in meeting my friends this weekend to shoot more shots.
- I also started working on my Critical Self Reflection for our project.
Week 9
- I continued editing the music video in this week and made major progress by completing 90% of the work. The rest was not done as we did not have the appropriate scenes for completing it.
- We would meet again this week to film the final shots to finish up the entire music video.
- The Social media seems just about done in my group and the digipak seems to also be pretty much finished.
- Ill finish up and tidy up my blog by this weekend. Ill also continue my Critical self reflection and finish it this week.
Week 10
- I finished the music video completely this week and did as much work as I could in the blog.
- I finished the development for my music video and started to copy work from my group members and publish them ( while giving credit ) to my own blog.
- I also polished any problems or mistakes that I did in the blog and organized it accordingly.
- With that, The Project is finished.
