Week 1

- We did researches on multiple music genres in class by filling out the tables out reacher gave us to list out hte genral conventiuons that it has and etc

- We started publishing our blogs such as the brief , research, and etc

-I have started my industry reasearch for the music video producers, finding out tdifferent companies

- Me and my team are still deciding on what genre to choose

Week 2

- Today me and my teammates have decided on a genre which is Indie

- We also started on our genre research

- A massive problem I had while doing this was that I am very slow at analysing the video, I was more onto just watching it without actually anlaysing whats happening

Things to do:

- DO 5 small research

- DO 2 big research


Week 3

- Today I continued my research in class for my genre

-  A problem I still have is that im still slow at doing this as it takes me awhile to notice different conventions , whether or not the music video subverts or conforms. Therefore to solve this i need to do more research.


Things to do

-Genre research

-Industry research


Week 4

- Today me and my group did the statement of intent for our project

- We got our initial ideas down and finalized our genre. A problem we had as a group was actually choosing a song that we are going to use but by the end of the lesson we finally chose one.  Though we still had another major one which was the concept of the video. 

Things to do

- Finish up the statement of intent


Week 5

- Today we did a moodboard to demonstrate our overall theme and idea for the music video. We also did a lyric board to differentiate the scenes to each verse of the song. We also started on making our storyboard though we weren't sure yet since we haven't finalised the concept of the video. 

Things to do:

- Finish up the moodboard

- Finih up the storyboard

- Finish up the lyric board

- Finalize a concept for the video 

Week 6

- This week was full of project lessons therefore we were able to do more progress in class, this is beneficial for us as we are also given tasks from other subjects. We were also given information that the deadline for preproudction is next week, so far we have done around 40% of the total blogs that needs to be done. Therefore throughout this weekend and next weeke, hopefully we can maanage our time well and continue with our progress

Week 7

This is the last week to finish everything so all I did was finish up all the remaining blogposts according to my tracker below . Very full week but I tried my best to push through. 




This weekly progress has always kept me in check of the upcoming deadline and the things that are required to do. Since nearly every week theres always something to do, this weekly progress has always helped reminded me to complete the tasks given. Especially when I pasted the whole table on top of the blogpost I can check the deadline everytime to measure my progress. As shown as well my teacher has given me a checklist on the things that I need to complete for pre-production this term. This has also given me extra pressure to finish up things before the deadline and to note down the things I need to do so that I wont have to check every single blogposts. A problem I had while doing this weekly progress is I tend to forget to update my progress hence I usually forget where Im currently at. A solution for this was the checklist given, I still do need to update my weekly progress but since the checklist is physical its more handy to look at and easier to take notes rather than having to open my laptop and type everything down. Though in the future I would like to try to take notes of my progress each day to prevent cramming everything in one night before the deadline.

Term 3: I am going back to week 1

week 1

This is the first week of media, our teacher reminded us about the project that is due the end of the month. As well he gave us an extra task which is to create a mini music video project due this friday . Which I havent completed therefore my task will be to complete the remaning blogs

Week 2

The second week my teacher taught us how to multicam edit using my friend as the subject. I didnt really struggle on this task because Im used to editing and did this kind of editing multiple times already.  We also had to continue the filming schedule as were approaching the deadline, my group have not started recording even though the due date is one week from now. This just shows miserable our time management and commitment is therefore approaching deadline we are panicking. The big task we need to do is to start recording

Week 3

This third week we are introduced to branding for our music video project where we have to develop our star in social media such as making a persona or a certain image . We kind of struggled because most of the artist are already similar to the one we are trying to make therefore its quite difficult since its cliche. We made a mind map as well to fully lay out the branding section of our artist to help us develop the music video . To add as well, my group hasn't done much progress for the video recording therefore this week we need to do as much as possible before the deadline which is this friday. I think our group needs more coordination and better time management so to the next development stage we need to lay things out more evenly 

Week 4

This week we had a long holiday so our media lessons were cut off to only one project lesson this week. My group did continue some filming in the holidays but not much due to most of the members being busy. For the lesson today my teacher gave us feedback on our brief edit on what to improve and what to do next, moving on I think me and my groupmates will continute to slowly edit our clips to avoid panicking near the deadline. 

Week 5

In this week  we did the audience feedback for our music video and digipak. In this week me and my team handed out questions such as seuggestions to improve and the messaage they got from the video. This might help us in the future as it checks whether the audience enjoys and understands the message. 

Things to do:

-Get some participants to fill in the form

Week 6

The weather was bad so we couldn't go to school, instead we had online classes. This week we started on our critical self-reflection where our teacher gave us a template to fill in as a plan before we start on the real one. The template really help me lay out all of the key ideas and content required for the essay. Eventhough its still quite empty since im not done with my project, it was  a good start that I can have something to rely on when I am lost 

things to do: 

- finish the plan 

Week 7

This week me and my team asked my teacher for some feedback for our feedback. My teacher gave us good advice on how to improve our edit, because we were at a point where we didn't know what to do. Though we have some more recording to do , our teacher gave us further advice on how to do it properly. Such as how he told us to edit on beat to make it seem more natural. In the future we are going improve and continue the project

Things to do

 - Continue recording

- Fix editing 

Week 8

This week we continued with a project lesson finishing up some blogs and do reflection, though it was cut short by the camping we managed to do multiple tasks such as getting feedback.

Week 9

This week me and friends asked feedback from our teacher regarding the digipak, eventhough we didnt have much progress from mocks we managed to do it in class with the time given. There are loads of things to do such as editing, video recording , research and many more to do . The deadline is next week so itll be a rush. 


Week 10

This is the last stretch of the week for my project, I have to finish everything by this week because the deadline is on wednesday. Me and my teammates have been having difficultites due to mock exams and struggled to spare time for this project. Because of this we had to stay up late and complete everything before the deadline. 

To do list

-Remaining blog posts

- Music video

- Digipak


This weekly progress has helped me keep track of the things that I need to do, while this term has been quite hectic, we were able to finish everything in the end. It also helps check the things we have done and things that aren't completed. Having a weekly progress keeps us more organised and prepared before the deadline. In the fuutre what Id like to pay more attention to my weekly progress since its an important section of our blog, as well id like to have better time management because that is a also a major problem that made us delay our schedule. This is the grand finale for this project, thing I regret the most is staying up late because it has affected my health heavily.
