Reflection ִֶָ𓂃⊹ ִֶָ 

Making the statement of intent helps me and my group stay on track and not lose focus. However, a problem we faced was that it was hard to choose on a specific song at first because of the many choices. After a few more discussions, we were finally able to settle with a song. Another problem we faced was filling in the "Artist Description" section. We didn't know how to properly fill this section in, as we hadn't had class about persona before. However, we decided to do the best we could before the submission date and improve it later on. Next time, it's best for us to discuss more and decide our song choice way before the deadline to avoid the pressure of picking it last minute. Overall, I am still happy with our song choice and I'm looking forward to our first shooting session.

Reflectionᡣ𐭩ྀིྀི₊ ⊹

Researching on the specific genre of my choice feels more useful than researching on many different genres at once. It keeps me focused on one genre without getting confused with all the different ideas and concepts. A problem I faced when doing my research was time management, because around the same time my grade was really busy with photoshoots and I also had personal matters to take care of outside of Bali. Next time, I might have to manage my time more wisely by starting my research early so I don't get rushed by deadlines. If needed, I'll make a small schedule and ensure I follow it so that I can complete my research without being under pressure. Overall, I'm happy with how my genre research turned out. I hope I get a good score.

Week 1

This week, we started researching into different types of genres as well as our own preferred genre. We faced complications with the groups originally assigned by Mr. Nick and took a long time discussing with each other to finalize our desired teammates. After a week of compromising and considering pros and cons, my original group decided to split into two and form another group instead. I have already completed my Preliminary Research and would have to finalize my genre research. Overall, despite the challenges we faced this week, my research seems to be going well. 

Week 2

This week, we did more genre research on specific music videos of our choice. We were told to complete six researches by 23rd of October. A difficulty I faced was time management because in the same week, I had to fly to Surabaya for a family event. On top of that, our grade also had to do photoshoot which made me even busier. Thankfully, before all that, I had quite a few researches done, so after all the photoshoot sessions ended I just had to continue where I left off during my free time (now I have 3 researches done). I plan on finishing and finalizing my research as fast as possible so I could spare time to check for errors before the deadline. Overall, despite the challenges I faced this week with time management, my progress is doing very well.
