This is my weekly progress for my music video
-- 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

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.
