This blog will demonstrate how my group and I organise our files and communicate throughout the process of our music video project.
Our group consisted of three members, all of the same gender and very close friends. For us, organisation and communication are extremely important, especially since we are frequently in contact. Because of this, we used multiple methods to stay organised, share ideas, and support each other throughout the process. This made ir easier for us to exchange thoughts quickly, give feedback, and ask for guidance whenever needed, ensuring that everyone stayed on the same page and contributed effectively to the project.
The most powerful communication platform we used to stay connected was WhatsApp. It allowed us to easily communicate through group chats, voice chats, and video calls, and even stay in contact with our teacher when needed. This made it much easier to share ideas quickly and keep everyone updated. The app played a major role in bringing our ideas together and supporting our overall teamwork. Without WhatsApp, our discussions would have been much slower, and managing tasks as a group of three would have been more difficult and less efficient. Here are a few moments from our conversation through WhatsApp that highlight how we communicated and worked together as a group.
Apple Photos (Shared Albums)
This app was used to store all our footages through its shared album feature. We used it to upload pictures and videos we had taken, such as behind-the-scenes content, and other memories from our music video project. This feature is only available to iPhone users, so we were lucky that everyone in our group including the actors and extra helpers used iPhones, allowing them to join the share album and viewing videos and uploading their own footages. This made it much more efficient for us to share files without reducing the quality of the videos when someone needed to edit them. It also meant that we didn't have to rely on messaging which could slow down the process and instead all the footage was easily accessed because it was already stored on our own phones.
Google docs
This feature was used to help us store all our work and tasks for the music video project. We also used it as a guide and draft before transferring our work to the blog, making the final version cleaner and more presentable. It allowed us to collaborate in one document so everyone could access it, contributing ideas, discuss, and add their own planning in real time. I personally found this tool very helpful for guiding my planning, keeping tracks of task, and writing notes to remember important points. Overall this feature was very important for organising our work and ensuring everyone stayed on track.
Pinterest was a tool to guide our creativity and inspiration. It is an app where you can search for ideas, view images, and upload your own content. For our group, Pinterest helped us share our imaginations through visuals by finding inspiration and sending it to each other allowing us to combine our ideas and agree on a clear direction. We also created mood boards for a music video which helped us visualise specific moments we wanted to recreate which made it better and much easier to explain our ideas as using visuals was more effective than just describing them in words.
