Week 1

Summary: 
        - We got the brief for this term's project and I have decided to go with the same team I went with               last time as we have good chemistry going. 
        - Besides that, we also started with our research with a new system which divides our research                  blogs into Industry, Preliminary, Audience and Genre, I think this might help me organize the                  research as last time it was too big and clunky in one post
To do: 
        - Finish Research: Industry

Week 2

Summary:
        - Started our Genre research post & I started on looking deeper into genre conventions of the                  R&B genre. I also started one larger research piece into The Weekend's Die for you music video.
        - We decided that R&B is the best genre for us to pick as it is a broad genre with differing sounds              of music, and it also has the best songs in this era.

Week 3

Summary:
        - This week we learnt about selective construction during a theory lesson and this somewhat                       helped me as I think it would help with how I pick and target my audience.
        - I completed my first complete genre research piece.
        - This week we still had some trouble deciding on songs to use as our final song and we have                  decided to start preparing a list instead
To do:
        - Finish Research: Genre
        - Find more songs & decide on what kind of theme to follow for the video (happy, sad, nostalgic)


Week 4

Summary:
        - We started our statement our intent which will help us set up the general feel of the music video              and also how to target our audiences
        - In class, there was also a lesson on the theory of Stardom by Richard Dyer, where we learnt                  about personas and how celebrities selectively construct their public image
To do: 
        - Finish statement of intent, we are doing it as a group and I need to finish my last bit.

Week 5 

Summary:
        - The storyboard process and making ideas on the lyrics sheets.
        - We finished the moodboard which will greatly help me when I am color grading the final work               as I will use the photos there for reference.
       

Week 6

Summary: 
        - This week was our first week filled with project lessons where we continue our project works                  during class time. This week I continued with the storyboard and practiced some color grading              photos to try and mimic the photos from the moodboard, I also did some first hand research on              some locations such as the Big M convenience store.



Week 1 (semester 2)

Summary:
        - We made a small music video or a clip for it during our class, this was to practice for our music               video, but primarily the performance aspect where we sung the song. but it also did include                   some videography and editing.

Week 2 (semester 2)

Summary:
        - This week, we learnt about how to do multicam editing and how to sync it up with the beat.
        - We also did our filming schedule to help us clear some time for recording and also to make sure              what we are recording
