Weekly Progress and Plan

This will be my weekly progress and plan for my component 3

Week 1:

- We learned about media ecology and what is the meaning of it. We also learned about medium and media and the common differences between them. Medium is the platform where media is transferred while media is the information spread. 

Week 2:

We did a project lesson and took notes on their general conventions. Today, the struggle was finding the music within the genre we chose, as there were so many options. But the solution was to talk to my teammates, and so finally, we chose an Indonesian indie song to recreate.  

Things to do:

- 5 general research

- 2 detailed research 

Week 3:

This week we continued our music video research about the genre and broke down some music videos of our chosen genre. We also watched a podcast of how Elon Musk changed Twitter which could be linked with power in the media.  The only problem I faced was trying to finish all the research which needed time management skills that I didn't have. 

To do:

EVRYTHING

Week 4:

We started our statement of intent finishing all the necessary details inside of the statement of intent. This will help us make the final statement of intent as all the details such as the target audience, conventions, and how to appeal to these audiences are done briefly. We also discussed the stardom theory: how producers can represent our stars to connect with the song. 

Week 5:

We made our mood board on how we wanted our music video to look. This will help us in the filming process for our music video ensuring that we will keep track of how our music video should look like. We started breaking down scenes of our music video and connecting them with the lyrics of our chosen music. 

Week 6:

This week was full of project lessons we continued our tasks and were given a to-do list to help us stay on track and make sure everything was done by the deadline. I focused more on the moldboard this week as we had to change it which was quite time-consuming as I'm trying to make it look aesthetic and pleasing which can help us make sure our music video will match the mood board. 

To do: 

- Complete the to-do list

- Finish planning the filming schedule

Week 7:

This week is the last submission for the pre-production blogposts such as the brief,team, and others. This means that we have no more time to procrastinate and should start finishing up our blog posts. This week we did a review for the semestral and practised a question paper that would help us with the graduation.

We were also given a tracker:

To help us with ensuring everything is complete.

To-do

- Finish everything

- Stay up all night

The weekly progress helped me a lot, as it kept me on track. Adding to-do lists helped remind me of what I should do for the next week and what I should finish. The weekly progress is not done every week which is mostly my fault as procrastination is always my main problem. We were also given a to-do list to help us with tracking our remaining tasks. This would help us with increasing productivity as we needed to recap and write what we do every week. For this time i always added barely any details on each week which made me a little difficult now with remember what the class did during that week. This
