As mentioned in my previous blog post, the brainstorming process was probably the most difficult part of the project among my group. I noticed that we were one of the groups that took the longest to brainstorm and come up with their music video, which is probably because we were left with the miscellaneous genre. This made the possibility of what our music video would be much broader, and therefore harder to come to a consensus as a group. But after a couple of days of looking for inspiration and planning out what song would work best for the resources we had available, we were finally able to decide on a song.
After we picked our song and figured out what we were going to do for our music video, we met together on the weekend to film the video. This was definitely the most fun part of the project, as we all had a good time recording the music video. It was also the easiest I felt because we were very prepared prior to filming.
While we were working on the music video, we were also working on the presentation. I'd also say this part was fun--at least for me--because I love music and how artists tour and sell their records. Therefore, being able to essentially create my own artist was really cool.
Ultimately, I thought this project was really cool to do. I think it does a good job at creating a stronger connection with fellow classmates as it forces students to be open to creative ideas and comfortable with collaboration. What I learned while doing this project was how difficult it is to actually make a music video. Even the music videos that don't look like they have a lot of effort put into them are actually much more difficult to create than what meets the eye. Therefore, I've gained a newfound appreciation for the art of the music video. This project definitely enforced a lot of collaboration between people, which I feel is a skill I can carry onto my portfolio project that will be of value.
