Here's a plan my teacher made for us to keep track of where we should be:
Here is a Task List my teacher gave me to keep tracks with my Weekly Progress:
I found this Task Sheet very useful for me to keep track of my blogworks to further improve my grades. I'm glad my teacher hand it over to me so I have a better time management on doing my blogworks. As you see, I've got most of it done, Me and my team just need to start buying props for the filming and film over the break.
Week 1:
- Introduced to music video project
- Choose team
- Started preliminary research into music video's industries
Problems: Giorgio & Jaden were absent, we couldn't get their ideas for this project.
Solution: Wait for them to arrive back
To-Do: Eat, Sleep, Pray, and complete the preliminary research
The first week of Media Studies in Term 2 wasn’t great. We started with Media Ecology, which honestly wasn’t very interesting, and then moved on to the music video project.
Week 2:
- Genre Research
- 2 Big Research, 6 Small Research
Problems: Difficulty of choosing a genre
Solution: Go to Billboard and research
To-Do: Finish 2 Big Research and 6 Small Research
I'm so stressed up this week since we were missing our most important member in the group which is Giorgio, and Carrick insist that we can't choose a genre before Gio comes back. In our group it's as if Gio is the brain, without it the body can't function properly. Honestly, I'm kinda annoyed with tthe fact that Carrick is to over-relying on Gio. Additionally, in my opinion I guess we might have able to pull that thing over without Gio aswell.
Week 3:
- Media Ecology
- The power & The Media
- Genre Research
Problems: Difficulty of choosing a song and arguing with team members about a song.
Solution: More research
To-Do: Finish the small research
Me and my team are still having difficulties choosing a song, we need to find a solution to that real quick. Carrick keeps asking to do weird songs, so we have made an agreement to finally wait until Master Gio returns.
Week 4:
- Statement of Intent
- Theory of Stardom: Richard Dyer
Problems: Nothing
Solution: Nothing
To-Do: Just do it.
Week 4 was a massive torture for me since we learnt about Theory of Stardom by Richard Dyer which I didn't really admire. But even so, it will help me as a group member to create different personas for our star in the music video. To be honest, this was quite fun since as a group we were able to discuss and gave out our different perspectives of different personas for our star for our MV. I contributed least amount on the statement of intent since I was in charge of a different role in this project, but I manage to help them find a persona for our star.
Week 5:
- Started storyboard
- Started location scout & risk assessment
- Started lyric sheet
- Started moodboard
Problems: Nothing
Solution: Nothing
To-Do: Complete Location Scout & Risk Assessment
This week was pretty exciting since we got introduced to a bunch of new things to work on. The screen test was a bit different from what I’m used to in Media Studies, and the mood board was also a first for me. I can see how both of these will keep us focused on creating something our audience will actually like. Working on these with my friends was a mix, since some members of my group keeps making unecessary jokes and arguments which slows down our process of completing our assigned tasks. I was mainly in charge with the location scouting & the risk assessment so I started researching a couple of decent locations that will suit our theme for our MV. I picked the furtherest location as possible so I can enjoy a long drive on my way to the location since I love driving and wasting my friend's time and fuel.
Week 6:
- Completed moodboard
- Completed lyric sheet
- Completed location scout & risk assessment
- Started on storyboard rough & fixed
Problems: Nothing
Solution: Nothing
To-Do: Finish storyboard
I must deeply confess that week 6 is one of the best weeks I've had in my whole Grade 12 Media Studies subject. My primary task was still to complete the location scout & risk assessment and find some good places with stunning scenery for the filimg process. I must admit that I'm one of the best people at finding good hidden places with exotic view. My friends are willing to admit that aswell, despite that the locations being too far away from where we live. On Thursday, 7 November 2024, I've finally started the REAL locaation scouting & risk assessment where I must do a total of 3.5 hours drive which I very much enjoy (Go & Return) and spent few minutes assessing the potential dangers and risks of each locations. And I also took a couple of pictures to put in the Location Scout since the image that I used in Location Scout was just a reference from Google Maps and I didn't want that. It's kinda disappointing that I wasn't able to enter one location which is Pantai Nunggalan since there was a wedding event at that time.
Week 7:
- Completed storyboard
- Completed filming schedule
- Completed classwork
- Finished all blogwork
Problems: Nothing
Solution: Nothing
To-Do: Take a good rest.
I've finally finished all blogworks and assigned tasks, which means I can take a good rest and prepare for my exams next weel. There's nothing left to do except to plan our filming schedule and buy the props for filming, I've got to remind my group about that. I really hope that I'm able to achieve at least a satsifactory score considering my low performance I've did last project. I'm sure that I've contributed enough in this project and I'll try my best to stay involved.
