Whoosh! And Week 1 of Music Video Production has been and gone!

So what did we achieve this week in terms of working towards our major assignment you may ask? And I mean, what even is our main assignment?

Well, by the end of this short summer semester the idea is that we will have sourced some appropriate talent and have produced an epic music video for them – but where do we even start in this whole process?

This week we were separated into small groups with classmates from all different background whom with we are to work with in order to create these music videos. Placed in a group of 5 people, we got to work right away throwing around potential ideas of musicians we might be able to contact, songs we could potentially uses and ideas and techniques we could experiment with. At the conclusion of week 1 we have:

1. Locked in a Band – Pockets
2. Locked in a Song – Ten Different Names
3. Brainstormed some potential ideas – thinking about the use of colour, shapes, animation, considering the different moods/feel to the song
4. Discussed consulting with the band in the coming days
5. Researched upcoming performances that are scheduled for the band – closest of which is 8pm Friday 8^th Jan

Below you can listen to the song which we will be using for a our music video – Ten Different Names by Pockets
