Week 1:

Week 1 started things of with a bang, in the begining my original group instantly had arguments of what music video we were going to shoot as we had drastic music tastes but with this all said we were still able to start our research into our genre which I had chosen to be rock/alt rock which didn't align with my orginal group.

Week 2:

Due to the disagreements we made a compromise to switch groups to find people with more similar intrests this greatly helped us as now we could finally secure and lock in a genre which we all agreed to be alt rock. This was honestly such a huge relief as we now have actually made some progress. We also continued our genre research where we had to research 6 music videos in our intended genre. At first I found this a bit challenging due to bad time management which was not helped with the consant need to prepare and partake in our yearbook photo shoots

Week 3:

With the deadline of the genre research rapidly approaching and me procastinating and also finished with half of a research. This week was honestly really stressful as I had to cram 6 researches and due to my pride and passion in this topic I had a bad habit of writting to much and too indepth which did not help the crunch. This also caused some researches to be lackluster as I didn't have time to make them all comphrehensive which really irritated me although at the end I was still able to finish. Thank God.

Week 4:

This week we we're given tasks to do regarding our project which included Statement of Intent, Storyboard and lyrics sheet, Location Scout and Risk Assesment, and Moodboard which for the most part was easy as we were able to quite quickly find a song we all agreed with and most of these tasks we had made in the past with the exeption of Mood Board and lyrics sheet which was really helpful in planning the narrative and flow of the music video and fining the right atmosphere and ambiance. We also reviewed gender theory but I think it will be seldom used in our music video as gender is not really a focus. By the end of the week we also finised our statement of intent as our teacher only gave us 2-3 days to complete it.

Week 5:

In this week we made good and steady progress on our Storyboard and lyrics sheet, Location Scout and Risk Assesment, and Moodboard and by the end of the week they were about 70-80% done just missing some final touches and revisions. I was responsible with helping Max make the storyboard as I was the one who came up with the idea/narrative of the music video which was great especially making the lyric sheet which help find how things flow would together. 

Week 6:

This is the last week so we just did and finalised everything from Storyboard to Moodboard. Thankfully our teacher allocated all periods to be about project so we were able to work with our team face to face which was really helpful. By this week we had bascically finished everything as again due to being able to work together we were able to help each other with problems, brainstorm and suggest ideas/solutions. Though like any other media deadline I still had to cram everything to make sure everything is done as I have bad time management and tend to do things last minute.
