- READING THE GUIDE - this is an extensive document and needs to be worked through individually and as a group; once you've all had a chance to digest it...
- PLAN YOUR BLOG - work out who will do what as regards blogging, and set some guide deadlines for yourselves; discuss with me once done
- DIGIPAKS - have completed and blogged on research + sample design ideas (try to create several: 'evidence of drafting' + opportunity for testing through 'audience feedback')
- PODCAST 1+2 - record your 1st 2 this week; perhaps one to intro the group and/or idea; thereafter one more each week
- TREATMENT - a 1 or 2 page doc, including visuals, briefly outlining your project (details in sep post above)
- LOCATION SCOUTING + SAMPLE SCENE/S - shot, edited, reviewed and on your blog; please pass on all rough cuts/features etc to me once edited
- LIP SYNC PRACTICE - everyone needs to have experienced this to fully appreciate the demands on your performers; its fine to just do a short, say 30-sec, sequence - or use the Barbra Streisand +/or Britney vid as appropriate. Reflection on the experience is vital
- CAST + OTHER REQUIREMENTS - see sep post
- SCHEDULE - as part of reviewing the cwk guide and planning, a draft schedule should include shooting - which obviously may change, but all should be completed within the next 2-3 weeks to allow sufficient time for editing/reshoots/Evaluation
Deadlines/Brief
Music videos are so 80s/90s, right? They belong with the era when MTV screened wall-to-wall vids instead of 'reality' TV? Try telling that to the millions who bought Gangnam Style; were they really simply loving the music? 1.6bn (and still climbing) have viewed the video on YT, not to mention the many re-makes (school eg, eg2), viral ads + celeb link-ups (even political protest in Seoul) - and it doesn't matter how legit it is, this nightmare for daydream Beliebers is making a lot of money, even from the parodies + dislikes. All this for a simple dance track that wouldn't have sounded out of place in 1990 ... but had a fun vid. This meme itself was soon displaced by the Harlem Shake. Music vids even cause diseases it seems!
