Week 1: We are told of the due date for our behind the scenes, filming the scenes, and filming schedule. We are able to complete all our task except for our shooting since we had a hard time cooperating with each other as a group. So we had to reschedule everything. We also learned about Theory of Stardom In class by Richard Dyer where I learned that being a star is not on accident but is planted by the industry. I start to plan the shooting schedule and scrapped the entire music video.
Week 2:
This week we learned about the post - Colonialism theory , developed by Paul Gilmore which suggests how colonialism affected the way media portrays certain things such as how certain ethnicity and race is depicted. It leans towards favoring the majority ethnicity for the most part and is heavily biased towards those races. I also began to shoot our music video, and managed to finish both the shooting and editing in the span of a day.
Week 3:
We learned about theory of fandom by Jenkins and Shirkins which explains the different stages of fandom and how they behave towards the things they are a fan of. We also had a pop quiz about post colonialism theory where we had to write an essay about it. We planned on reshooting the music the week before and this week we did some reshoots to fix some of the bad lighting and we completed it in a few hours. All that’s left is to edit the video and work on our digitalis and social media.
Week 4:
We finalized everything in this week related to our music video project which includes the social media research, digipak, and the final music video. We were given feedbacks which we implemented in our music video. I finalized my editing and what's left to do is to finish my blog and my reflections.
Reflection:
Doing weekly progress is important as it tracks our progress of our media over the past few weeks and also keep track of what we have learned and also what we need to do.
