-- Week 1 --

At first we got into groups temporarily to do research about our potential music video ideas, then we got a mini intro duction to media ecology on Tuesday to get us started after that. We did a proper introduction on Thursday what media ecology is and the 5 main points of media ecology we also started with our preliminary research.

- New technology competes with old (and replaces it).

- Every technological advancement = trade-off.

- Advantages/disadvantages never spread evenly.

- We shape tech → tech shapes us.

- Tech becomes mythic (irreplaceable)

We also got groups activities where we had to arrange prompts in the 5 main points of media ecology

and we also had a group activity about  answering questions about one of the main points of media ecology and had to criticize other groups answers about the questions and highlight about what good or bad points was given in those answers

Problem: Research task is not done yet

Solution: Get it done when I need too preferably early enough to where it wont be a problem in the future

To do: I need to finish my research blog and finalize my group

-- Week 2 --

This week we had a deep dive into McLuhan's theory of media ecology with 5 types of media convergences

- Technological Convergence

- Textile Convergence

- Social Convergence

- Industry Convergence

- Regulatory Convergence

We also has internet problems when we wanted to watch a classmates chosen music with Youtube being down site wide.

We also learned about technological ages with the global village theory and how it applies to the internet as a whole, and how it affects everyone around us.

Problem: Youtube went down

Solution: we just waited

To do: finish the research blog

-- Week 3 --

This week we did all Project lessons and we had to finish our bloges with bogies but for my I needed to finish my Storyboard. Me and Panji did a whole lot of work on the storyboard and helped a lot in filling his vision for the music video and was an invaluable source.

Problem: unfinished storyboard

Solution: make the storyboard

To do: get input from teammates for input for storyboard

-- Week 4 --

This week we started progress on our music video with planning everything Panji decided to choose a music video for us and I hope he chooses a good one, so that we wont regret it down the line. I also did some storyboarding for my group with a huge help from Panji to visualize it and I draw it down.

Problem: unfinished storyboard

Solution: finish the storyboard

To do: Get more input from teammates

-- Week 5 --

This week was a theory lesson and we learned about persona and Kpop artists that we need to use a case studies, we learned about how an artists persona differs from their real life personality and how a persona is manufactured by the industry.

Problem: unfinished classwork blogs

Solution: finish the classwork blogs before deadline

To do: Make the classwork blogs in canva

-- Week 6 --

This week was a simple project lessons and I made great progress on my role which is storyboarding which I am very proud of, I think I learned a whole lot more in this project by storyboarding than the other project I worked on as a story boarder. The teacher this week we also had a unit assessment on media ecology that I passes thankfully.

Problem: unfinished classwork blogs

Solution: finish the classwork blogs

To do: Continue the classwork blogs in canva

-- Week 7 --

This week my group was tasked to figure out our brand identity and to make up one for our selves this was a great opportunity to get creative, we also made a poster for it.

Problem: unfinished branding poster

Solution: finish the branding poster

To do: finish the branding poster

-- Term 3 --

-- Week 8 --

 This week we learned about the Theory of Stardom where we discus about our stars behavior to his fans and how that might effect how we produce and make this music video, maha was gone so we couldn't get his input. Our teacher made us make a social media account for our made up music artist I thought that was innovative 

Problem: unfinished social media posts

Solution: post some social media posts for our fake artist

To do: post some stuff

-- Week 9 --

This week was a focus on power & the media specifically the new topic relating to this Post-colonialism theory and how it effects media production and consumption. We also focused on our music videos post production. We also had to make an essay on power & the media

Problem: unfinished post production blog

Solution: finish the post production blog

This week we learned about the Death of the Audience theory kind of morbid but alright, and Shirky theory, we also did Jenkins and fandom theory, the project lesson we also did some more post production, we also did more recording with my group and several outside persons that assisted us in making our footage for our music video.

Problem: unfinished branding poster

Solution: finish the branding poster

To do: finish the branding poster

-- Week 11 --

This week was all project lessons which was a life saver for gaining feedback and working on the final music video, our teacher gave us really good feedback and thank god we had something to show him to get feedback for as it was a really tough on for us to record.

Problem: unedited video with not yet implemented feedback

Solution: edit the video with the feedback

To do: edit the video with the feedback and export it

-- Week 12 --

This week was entirely consisted of project lessons which was vital in getting our blogs done before the deadline and to refine our music video even more with added teammate input. And considering this is the final week it is I think a very stressful time for everyone to complete their blogs before midnight.

Problem: unfinished blogs with no reflection

Solution: finish the whole music video blog and add reflection

To do: finish the music video blog with reflections before midnight


This project was surely a doozy because we had WAY less time to 1 record footage and 2 edit the video 3 get feedback and finally finish the blog, combined with the fact that shortly after this we had a long holiday which brainwashed all of us and made 0 progress after it ended. this truly is one of the media projects of all time.
