Week 1

This week was the fresh start of a new project. We are introduced to a project on a music video. We also got to do preliminary research to help us simply view different genres and get an idea on our overall project. We also were put into groups but since my group had technical conflicts due to the disagreements in genre decision, we've decided to split up and I have formed a newer group that can agree on the same thing and wouldn't make it harder for us.

Week 2

In this week we had to continue on our media research in class and on other days that weren't project class, we learned a new theory for media ecology. Im currently still in need to continue with our research because I've decided that my team will do pop and this has to be done by next week. In order to complete this, I have to do 1 researched everyday to save time for other occasional days for other subjects.

Week 3

This week was when we had to finish our research but we also did a lot of learning because we still need to discuss new topics like media ecology and media regulation. We also had a new activity where we shared music videos during class to help guide our imagination and support our theory lessons.

Week 4

We were introduced to the concept of persona and work more on our statement of intent. We had to create an artist for a music video so we worked on a class project about persona and looked for examples to help us develop our artist. This was difficult because we had to create a fake identity but also think about their real identity. Most of our lessons this week we focus on project.

Week 5

We focused on learning theories and briefly started practising how to develop essays because we had a unit assessment coming up about media ecology. We learned about ecology and more depth and how to use media context in our paragraph. We also looked at case studies to help us build stronger essay structure for the assessment.

Week 6

This week we had to finalise our project which included the mood board, storyboard, and location scouting. It was a very chill week because we didn't learn much new content. Since the holidays and exams were coming up, most of our class time was spent on completing our project.
