Weekly Plan
This is my weekly plan that details the progress of creating the music video
Week 1
This week, we had just gotten introduced to our component three brief, it employes that of a music video. I am excited for this music video, over the term break my group and I compiled a few ideas on what we want to create. After the briefing, we continued to do research, this week I looked at wetsuit by the vaccines as well as bad idea right by olivia rodrigo.
Week 2
problem: Did not make it to class as I was sick and unable to make it.
solution: Asked around for updates on the project, discussed again with my group mates so that I can catch up with the work I missed.
Week 3
This week we had started forming our music video ideas, gathering a list of ideas and genre to set a baseline for our process. I continued on with the research however, I plan on diversifying the research with the specific genre which we decided on, r&b and soul music videos. This week we satrted the statement of intent, everyone contributed ideas into the group and I typed up a plan. We still want to get more ideas in and think of a backup plan or secondary ideas to the final one we chose right now.
- The format of my weekly progress is changing from the previous two weeks as I felt it would be better to be more refletive of my work.
Problems: We’re quite indecisive with the song we’ve chosen, we plan to finalize it by next week.
Solution: We are taking a vote this week on which song we’re deciding on.
To do:
- statement of intent
- finish research
- print out lyrics to analyse and generate a scene-scene draft.
Week 4
This week we formed the aesthetic and message of our music video. We started a moodboard and compiled a list of scenes we wanted to add as well as forming ideas for the name of the artists
Problem: Earleir this week when we did a mini project, one of our member’s phone died which set us back on time and we had to catch up by doing some of the work outside of our class.
Solution: We finished filming by having another member’s phone to use.
To do:
- branding research
- mood board
- screenplay/storyboard
- location ideas
- actor’s screening
Week 5
This week we looked at different ideas to incorporate into our music video alongside creating a mood board to envision the visual we are using and the color palette we are going for. I did further research into directors in the film scene that may help create a better music video.
Problem: We had conflicting ideas regarding the mood board, we had so many ideas yet we felt that we need a big idea that needed to stay consistent to pertain a good execution
Solution: We decided on choosing a low exposure, disposable film camera style. This was one through many discussions and conclusive research into incorporating what we want.
To do
- Further Research
- Screenplay
- Storyboard
- Branding research
- Location Scouting
- Actor's screening
Week 6
This week we looked at the different storylines we plan on finalizing from last week. We’ve gathered a list of actors and locations, and we are starting screen tests by next week.
Problem: we had a conflicting cast decision, there were quiet a few good candidates yet it was hard for us to decide which would fit the music video vibe.
Solution: We took a vote and decided who was the right pick based on the majority. We’ve broken down our story and fitted it to our storyboard which may help ease the production next week.
To Do
- storyboard
- Actor’s screening
- location scouting
Week 7
This week we tried to wrap up the blog, we looked at a collection of tasks through a checklist and whether we’ve completed it or not. We’ve made quite the progress, yet there are still a few things we need to complete.
Problem: Although we’ve made a lot of progress, we are still running behind on schedule and plan to catch up this week as the project is being graded next week. With semestral exams coming up, it may delay our progress to check up.
Solution: We’ve made a commitment as a team to set deadlines for individual tasks, group tasks as well as an accountability check by the end of the week to finish the whole project.
Below is a checklist of the work we have done separated by different groups to make it more efficient.
To Do:
- Location Scouting
- Screen test
- Storyboard
End of Semester 1
We had winter break between the first half of this progress and hence the weekly progress will record data from semester 2 of our project
Week 1
This week we completed our location scouting risk assessment, after visiting any possible locations we looked at an evaluation and if it would match with our ideas for certain shots regarding our music video. We had also changed the format of our blog to make it easier to view our project. This week I got feedback from my teacher as well on how I can improve my blog, such as making certain aspects of my post bolded or more recognizable. I worked on that and I will finish on those improvements by the end of the week.
To Do:
- Storyboard
- Screen test
- Start Shooting
Week 2
This week we worked on creating a filming schedule and we are filming from the 20th January, we are hoping to finish filming by the end of January so we can start post production by early February. This week we focussed more on some of the pre-planning for shooting such as preparing the equipment we need and any props. We had to do practice takes to get a visual for our storyboard, so we used our classroom and had Baron act as a car for example. We also finished a revised storyboard that will help with our filming next week
This is the link to our filming schedule: https://raniasurimulyadi.blogspot.com/2024/01/weekly-schedule-development.html
Problem: We couldn't have a car in the classroom to practice what the scene would look like.
Solution: we had our team member Baron act as a car with the plate in his back to get an idea of what the scene will look like.
To Do:
- Filming (see the above link for our schedule)
- Post production development (digipack and social media)
Week 3
This week we started filming, we finished 50% of filming this week, we are preparing for a photoshoot this coming weekend. This is focussed on the digipak done on Sunday and continue to film our music video on Saturday. We also discussed the research for our social media page and digipak design which we will start editing next week. Hopefully the photoshoot goes well that we are able to wrap up quickly.
Problem: We were delayed filming by half an hour due to the heavy political sphere here where the roads were blocked due to a candidate going to an event.
Solution: We worked efficiently due to the delay in shooting, and tried to wrap up as fast as possible. Although we took multiple retakes, the final results of this weekend's shoots were successful.
To Do:
- Continue mv filming
- Start photoshoot
- Finish digipak research and finalize mockup
- Post production development (digipack and social media)
Week 5
This week we continued digipak production, we made some mockups for it through canva, and will be detailed in the development blog post. We also filmed in Pantai saba (saba beach) for the ending scene.
Problem: When we were filming the scene at a friend's house, the fish odor was so potent that it delayed production as we couldn't go on set to film the scene for around 30 minutes. We also realized how inefficient our production has been going.
Solution: We are going to optimize production and work on a better planning schedule, we also hope to prep the set before filming to reduce the delay in the next scene.
To Do:
- Continue mv filming
- Start photoshoot
- Start Instagram posts
Week 6
This week we are finalizing our digipak cover and we held a photoshoot which enabled us to have some more instagram pic ideas.
Problem: We missed a project period which means we have less time to continue doing the project in class.
Solution: Hence, we worked together outside of school and gathered time to finish together.
To Do:
- Organize instagram feed
- Finalize digipack
- Edit photoshoot pics
Week 7
- Critical Self reflection
- Finalize digipack
- Finalize social media
Week 8
End of project date, submitting this friday for the final work.
Reflection: This project has brought on so much stress and chaos however, through this project I learned to become better at designing and using cameras and editing softwares which I'm grateful for.
