Week one Day One- Today we found out what group we were in from here we had to discuss potential songs we were going to choose to base our music video around

Week One day Two- We researched songs we thought about doing and had to make sure that they did not already have a music video as then we could not go forward with what we wanted to do. To do this we searched on youtube- by searching artists we liked and songs we knew that didnt already have a music video

Week One day three- Again we carried on with our research and together shortlisted our favourite songs which didnt have a music video. We then looked through each of the songs and thought of potential ideas that we could do from each of them and narrowed the list down even more.

Week One day four- We decided on doing snow patrol- Hands open this was the song we all agreed on and only one that didnt already have a music video. We brainstormed ideas of initial ideas this included, costumes, location, ideas of band name, ideas of logo. And a variety of ideas we could use for the narrative.

Week one day five- We anaylised the lyrics in dept trying to pick out every little detail that we could create a narrative about, this helped us come up with what we wanted to do in the video because the lyrics in the song were easy to do something with which is another reason we chose the song we did.

Week Two Day two- We put together a powerpoint of all our ideas using slides to present this to our teacher, these included- song lyric ideas, location, props, costume, initial ideas etc.

Week Two Day three- We presented our idea to the teacher- they had the opportunity to tell us wether it was a good idea or not and also give us some inspiration to help us expand on the ideas we already had. This was a good help and our teacher gave us ideas.

Week two day Four- We then started our storyboard as a group and decided on what sort of narrative we would forsee, each of us had our own ideas. We included each of our own to make one better idea- it was useful hearing eachothers ideas this helped us expand all of our little ideas and turn it into one big one.

Week two day five- We carried on drawing our storyboard putting colour on to make it more attractive. We inlcuded camera angles and length of shot and also the lyric which would match each scene so when it came to filming our music video it would be on the paper already what we had to do so it would  make it less confusing for us

Week Three day one- We created a questionaire to ask people there own oppinion on our ideas and to find out exactly what they thought about what we had planned for our music video. This gave us the opportunity to find out wether our target market would like what we had planned to forsee.

Week three Day two- We interviewed people using video cameras using our media skills, form this they told us there oppinions to the questions from our questionaire. I thought this was a good way to get somebody's oppinion as it would be harder for them to lie since they would be on camera.

Week three day Three- We cut up our storyboard to create an animatic so we could put the song on in the background and see how our music video would flow with the ideas we had and wether our ideas would work, this was very useful
