Week 1
-
Meeting with tutor to discuss collaborating with Production Arts department for basis of final major project (FMP).

Matched with production arts team who will be making a music video.
-
Plan out and complete proposal plan

decide this is a fantastic opportunity to do a behind the scenes look at how the video was made.

Arrange to attend full group production planning day on Friday 10-4.
-
Receive a document from Sadie discussing different types of music videos that can be produced
-
Performance videos
-
Narrative videos (often with an element of performance)
-
Concept videos
-
Graphic/Cut and Paste
-
A combination of the above
-
-
Spend time watching the examples of each type and learning how they differ from one another to prepare for the meeting next Friday.
Week 3
-
Attend full group meeting with Ed (1st year events management student). Very friendly and welcoming group. I was impressed by how artistic it was, I had not realised how important the finer details of the styling / costumes / visual effects would be. Realised that I was already learning a great deal about such a production and hope I can convey this in my podcasts - just how specialised, detailed and planned it all is.
-
Start considering my two main planning areas
-
How will I divide the podcasts
-
by departments - costume, music etc.?
-
by team member - discuss each person's contribution, hopes for final product etc.?
-
week-by-week development - more a working diary / blog of what is happening? - decide against this as if this was the plan I should have already begun. Starting now would be a bit of an abrupt beginning, missing the initial stages.
