5th Week

We go deeply in how MTV is viewed now, and how relevant it is for the success of the music.

For me, music video nowadays are created only when the song gets the top song charts. Which means that it is a showcase for that particular popular track. And by viewing the music video, not only you get to see what the artists is trying to deliver through his music, as well as the art direction of the video as well. For example, the music video "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley showcasing a fresh new style and one-of-a-kind of music video. This resulted not only making the music even popular than it ever is, but also attract new audiences who are interested in the visual aspect of music video making.


Assignment: Still have not reached the production level yet. However, we have agreed to shoot it this weekend and the location that Emese found. This time i will let Emese and Meerim do the major part of the work, as not only i will be fully occupied before going back home (Yay!) but also to see the potential and creativity of their ideas. Hopefully in this way, i can get to understand their ideas and style better to fit in with mine, thus working better in the next assignment.

Peace out.

4th Week

Dr Phil was kind enough to guide us to the ways into getting our music video production a headstart.

As much as i want to believe in Emese's storyboard, i'm having a difficult time as well. We are still stuck on it and likelihood we will change the whole storyboard.

Time waits for no man. i'm going back home in 2 weeks time.

3rd Week

We learnt few theories behind music video production, and mostly we talked about different genre and styles that's happening in music video.

Although we probably know how the style for each genre goes, it's interesting to explore it even further.
