Week 1 & Week 2: I was absent for a few days in both week 1 and 2, therefore I missed a lot of class. However, my classmates were introduced to the music video project for our final project. I was also in class for a few theory lessons and we learned about Curran and Seaton amongst other theorists. 

Week 3: We had a photoshoot scheduled for our school yearbook, so a lot of our classes were cut short. We started our research this week for our final project, I am teamed up with Sharon. 

Week 4: We started our statement of intent. My teammate and I started discussing about the idea and story of the song, but haven't noted anything down as it was still too general of a plan

Week 5: we started our moodboard with a few pictures from pinterest and started planning out on our lyric sheet. 

Week 6: We had one project lesson where I just cleaned up my blog as it wasn't so organized from all the times I was absent and had just been randomly uploading blogs. Then we learned about media environments for our theory lessons

Week 1: We started dividing each scene to its specific location it's filmed at and slowly start filming scene by scene. The final project is due at March but the shooting deadline is at the 24th of January. So far, we have one scene completed and have to quickly catch up on the rest if we want to finish by then.

Week 2:

There are lots of delays that got into the way of our filming, we can't decide on an actor for one of the characters, and some of our other actors aren't always able to be there for us so we have to keep finding subsitutes. So far we have 3 big scenes left to do, a few inserts to record, and the main performance to make (we recorded a back up, but we want to record a better one as our performance scene originally is at a beach, we recorded the back up in a teammates' bedroom).

This week we made a mind map about artist persona and brand identity, this helped us layout our artist's character as both an artist and a person.

Week 3:

Week 4:

Week 5: This week had a lot of holidays, we didn't get much time in class. Me and my teammate filmed at the beach to shoot the filler scenes.

Week 6: We started our Critical Self Reflection this scene (or at least the planning of it), we had to undergo online classes too at the start of the week as the weather was too dangerous for us to go out, so school had been closed. We also started an audience feedback screen test to ask friends (not in the same class) their opinion on our music video. 

Week 7: We did a review for our mock on our first lesson and then had our mocks the next lesson. The last lesson for this week we continued with project and I finishing up a bunch of scenes that were finalized. One of our clips were corrupted and we had to reshoot 2 other scenes, however other than that our progress is going great (hoping it stays this way) and we should finish the whole project in time.
