Research: The research with the group was a good way to start off. We decided as a group to split up the research in different sections for different members to complete. When done we would talk about what we learned as a group and share it with one another. I personally learned lots about the companies we researched and also the artists. This helped me also check out the history and current progress of the labels with their artists.
Brainstorming/Planning: For the planning of our project we started kind of rough in a way. We had a whole plan planned out in around Day 2 of out project. We decided to go after school to the library and from there we look around for some cool places to film at. Well when Wednesday came and we were to film, two of my group members had said they were sick and could not make it to the after school filming. So me and my group member Dylan decided it was best to change the storyboard and change all of our planning and make something work in school.
Music Video: The same day of the scheduled filming date during class Dylan and I began filming around the courtyard and other places to get some basic shots for the music video. We took videos of birds, clouds, and even some rain we saw from afar. We decided to get some shots of Dylan and try and find something around the area that can help and fit in with the Lyrics to our song. The next class day my group members felt better so we continued on filming, we got permission from the coach to enter the Basketball Gym and film some shots in there. We decided to change the storyboard again and include some shots in the basketball courts. We added some learning and helping of others into the video with the basketball seen and decided it will look good with some editing to it.
Post-Production: Well post-production I didn't take music of a part on as I didn't edit the video. I did help with putting the videos in order on Adobe premiere but after that I had sent it to Dylan and he added the music and made some transitions and edits onto the video. The editing part of the music video was Dylan's idea as he said he would enjoy the editing of our video.
Presentation: Our presentation was done after the Music Video was completed. We talked about distribution, marketing and more key topics with the upbringing of the music video. The presentation took around 2 days to complete on power point as we added lots of information on it and decided it was better for us to have more that less information as we didn't really know how much was to be added on it. When the day came I believe as a group we were confident and knew our research to when we weren't really worried on mess ups during presenting to the class. In our presentation to the class we should our whole power point including the Music Video. I believe it went well but after watching my classmates videos ours definitely could have been better in many ways. I like the whole presentation idea as it helps me learn new things when watching both the videos of my classmates and reading over the presentation.
Final Summary: I learned lots throughout the whole process of completing the project. I also met new people as half of my group I didn't know before the project. When watching the presentations and Music Videos of my classmates you can see the differences and editing techniques that were used by them which helps one see new ways to edit and new things like small details that can be added into the post-production of a video. This project will definitely be helpful when developing my Cambridge portfolio as it shows both the process and the improvements that could have been made throughout the project. When looking back on this post you can see our entire process into the project and how things can change quickly if not planned correctly.
