Weekly Progress

 Week 1

This week we got put In our group decided by Mr Nick, I think it’s better than choosing our own group because it helps us to work with people we are unfamiliar with. We also delved into media ecology which is the study of the effect of media n technology and how it shapes society and culture, we also learned about the 5 pillars of media ecology which are the big main understanding for media ecology.

The problem we encountered this week is that we have not yet decided what song we’re going to use for our music project which is stressful because we have to find a pop song released within the last 5 years.

We will collectively partake in deciding what song to use for our media project and make sure that we have the song by the end of this week.

We will need to find and decide the song we are going to be using for our music video by the end of this week, My personal goal for this week is to finish at least half of my music research.

Week 2:

We pitched our ideas with our group, and also gave suggestions on which song we ought to pick for our music video project. We evaluated the pros n cons of the music video suggestion and continue to look for the one we all collectively can agree upon.

We faced difficulties researching Pop Songs in the last 5 years. Since most of the popular pop songs are from the 2010s, making it hard for us to pick a relevant good pop song. Our team can solve this issue by 

doing more research and maybe searching social media for songs that are relevant nowadays and is easy for us to use for our music video project. Our main priority now is deciding which song we are going to use.

Week 3: 

We continue on our genre research

Week 4: This week our group started working on the statement of intent. We talked about the ideas for our music video and what type of vibe we are going for as well as our main storyline.

Week 5:

This week, we began doing another task, the location scout and risk assessment. These tasks were very easy for us to complete as they required less work than the other tasks. The difficulty was deciding which location we were going to shoot, but we managed to come up with interesting places.

The problem we had this week was that I was not finished with the storyboard and the moodboard.

The solution was that one of the group members tried assisting me, which proved to be very helpful and effective as we finished half of the plan. 

My goal for this week is to finish the moodboard and the storyboard.

Week 6

This was our final week to finish everything before finishing semester 1 of our academic year. Our teacher gave us chances to do our Comp 3 during the media studies period for this week. Thanks to our kind teacher's decision, all the tasks were accomplished. However, we did miss out on 1 task, which was the classwork about media theories.

The problem we had this week was that we didn't have a proper schedule, so we missed one task.

The solution we had was to do the task during the weekends and do double checks in our blog post in case we missed other things.

My goal for this week is to make sure all my group members have the proper format for their blog posts.

Reflection: Weekly Progress is not something I enjoy doing, however a weekly progress blog allows me to track the progress me and my team have made, allowing us to take the next course of action and be in sync of what we must do to get things dome
