Classwork: Theory of Stardom

Here is my classwork on the theory of stardom by Richard Dyers. I made this classwork on a Canva presentation.

Reflection. ۫ ꣑ৎ   .  

I loved making this classwork a lot, especially because I got to talk about one of my favorite celebrity in the K-Pop industry. I didn't really face problems while making this, it's just that since the celebrity I chose just recently debuted, I couldn't add any information on the "Love Life" section. Other than that, this classwork was pretty simple to work on and didn't take much time. Overall, I'm satisfied with how it turned out, and I will make sure to use Canva for my other classworks as well as I feel like it has been helping me work with my tasks a lot easier. 

Filming Schedule

Here is my team's filming schedule made by Sagara, originally on Google Spreadsheet. However, Gusde then moved it to Canva so we could embed it to our blogs.

The filming schedule itself was pretty simple to make using Google Spreadsheets, so I'm pretty sure Sagara didn't have any difficulties making it. However, a difficulty we all share is having to constantly update/change our filming schedule because we were not done with filming. Hence, it was kind of a hassle to repeatedly change our filming schedule according to our future filming sessions. This was the exact reason why we decided to move our schedule to Canva, so that we could embed it (embedding automatically updates the document in case we make any changes to it, making it more convenient).

Lyrics Sheet + Storyboard

Here are my group's annotated lyrics sheet and completed storyboard. Me (Mai) and Gusde worked together on the lyrics sheet, and Max and Gusde worked together to complete our storyboard. Sagara helped out by giving ideas and inputs.

My role for this task was to help my group write our ideas down through annotations on the lyrics sheet. This role in particular was not difficult, because all I had to do was listen and write for my group. However, the difficult part was helping my friends coordinate the scenes with the lyrics/timing of the song. We had a hard time deciding which scenes would go first, or which scenes should play during a certain part of the song. We figured everything out in the end after a long discussion. I wasn't in charge of the storyboard, but I helped both Max and Gusde whenever they asked for my opinions or inputs. Overall, I think we make a great team. 

Classwork: Technical Elements, Theories, Etc.

Here is my classwork on the materials we learned in theory lessons. I referenced my old classwork blogs for this, but altered it a bit.

This task wasn't difficult, it was just time consuming. It wasn't difficult because I used my old classworks as a reference and only had to change the words up a little bit. I also used Mr. Nick's presentation as a reference, meaning I didn't have to go through the struggle of typing down all the technical elements and theories from memory. As I've mentioned earlier, the only problem I faced was time management. This took up so much time, which halted my progress on other things (persona classwork and other blogs). Eventually, I was able to complete this task because most of my other important works were basically done. Next time, I would have to start this task earlier and not leave it till the end. 

Location Scout & Risk Assessment

Here is my group's location scout & risk assessment. This was made by Sagara on Canva.

Although I wasn't the one who was in charge of this task, I still participated by helping my teammates brainstorm which places would ideally fit the scenes we wanted to film for our music video. The only problem I faced was the brainstorming itself, because there are too many places in Bali, but too little realistic/available ones. For instance, we wanted to film a jail/prisoner scene, but there was no way we could go to an actual prison to film. So, our solution was to find a location with an enclosed space/room to make up for it. After a few discussions, we decided to temporarily put Gusde's house as the location. However, we might change this in the future just in case we find a better place. 

Mood Board

Here is my team's moodboard made by me (Mai). I used Canva to make this.

Why?.•°:✧⋆.°

Our team decided to go for a bleak, oppressive and dark mood. This is because such coloring scheme and mood will represent the suppression imposed by the politician upon the journalist, and in the larger scheme, the people.

In this take, I took up the role of making our team's mood board myself. I think it was a pretty simple task to do myself, so I didn't really face problems in the process of making it. I think the only problem I faced was having a hard time picking which images to add. It was my first time designing a mood board for my own music video, so I didn't really have a clear idea of what kind of images to put inside. However, after consulting with my teammates and asking for Mr. Nick's opinion in the end, I was able to finalize our mood board. I didn't have to change anything in the end, I only had to add more pictures and a brief description of why we wanted to go for the mood we chose.
