This week we worked on generating three ideas for the final major project and then
developing the final chosen one. The first thing I did was make a mind map and briefly
outline my three initial ideas, this ensured that I could refer to them if need again and also
help me later on when picking the strongest one to carry on. The next thing I had to do was
write out a survey on my three ideas, this survey included a brief run down of the ideas and
asked for what was liked and disliked about the ideas and an overall favourite of the three,
as well as asking for their age and gender, this was to help me understand the demographic
I would be working towards. On Wednesday I worked on analysing my survey as well as
completing my proposal and production schedule, I used the production schedule the
college gave as a template and extended the weeks into days to be able to look back at it
with more of an understanding of what will need to be completed and when, I always
included information such as half terms and most importantly, my deadlines. On Thursday I
did my bibliography and the planning for issues in the sections that I could complete now,
this being theoretical problems and practical/technical issues. I also decided to use the rest
of the day to begin my research into finding a client/competition, this is where I
encountered some issues, I knew I wouldn’t be working for a client as I had already come up
with my final idea and knew the song I wanted to use meaning I wouldn’t be working with
an independent artist. Finding a competition was a lot more difficult than I had expected, it
turns out that not a lot of festivals have a music video category and it was only short films or
documentaries; there were a few times where I debated changing my brief and doing a
short film instead but I knew I really wanted to stick with the connection the song had to my
narrative, I kept looking around and found international festivals that could work however,
most of their deadlines were March/April time which wouldn’t allow me enough time to be
able to submit, even with the latest deadlines available. I finally stumbled across Brighton
and Hove filmpride and although not the tightest competition, the nature of it matched
perfectly with the theme and aims of my final piece on Friday I completed the brief for the
competition including competition information, why I feel like I could win, a brief description
of my idea, target audience and production schedule. I also added social context onto my
page, this is all about the message of my production and why I feel as though it should be
made. Although there was a lot of work this week, I felt I stayed on top of it pretty well and I
am on track, no other work needs to be completed until I get my feedback next week.
