Group discussion

 Hey guys, so this days blog will be a little different. So last class we had a conversation in groups about our blogs and I got to hear about the projects of some of my classmates. Overall the conversation was really cool and I was able to get new ideas as to what I wanted to do. The first thing that I found Very helpful that they had told me was to make sure my locations were easy to film in or had permission. 

This was very helpful because it made me realise that locations are gonna be a very important part of the music Video since not only will they place the actual vibe of the video but will be the most important thing visualy that will create the sense of unity that I hope to reach. So with this I decided to contact friends who work in certain religious areas and to ask them for permission to film in the places where they work. For now 2/3 have said yes and so thats a good thing. The next step to this was to find locations so this weekend I went out with friends to find random "earthy" locations and found a couple cool places. But I still will have to look around more since only one of them truly caught my eye and it was not close enough for frequent filming.

The next thing that the group I was with helped me realise is that I should probably try and make the meaning more prominent. What I mean by this is that I should probably make sure that the viewer understands the true meaning of the music video. So with this I want to make sure I highlight properly the fact that the video wants to stand up against toxic religious groups. I planned some ways to achieve this and though that including a couple more individuals as actors being shun by their peers due to certain ideas or looks would work out very well since it would show the toxic stereotype that people in religion are toxic and instead welcome the idea of unity.

The last thing I wanted to mention in this blog is that it is amazing the work my classmates make. One of my classmates is somehow managing to make a movie about someone having to go to the bathroom which was super funny to me. And another one is making a short film about some type of AI take over. I really do appriciate the creative people in my class because they push me to do better with my projects and to truly be creative myself.

But overall This group discussion was super fun and Im glad our teacher made us do it since it has helped me understand what concepts and changes need to be made to my story and overall the music video to make sure that it comes out perfect. I also got some other advice like to make sure audio matches the scene and stuff like that but my project's conversation was a little short since they thought I was well planned. But thats all for now see you guys next week!
