During the brainstorming and planning part of the assignment we started with a schedule. The schedule includes when our research should be done, the time we are filming, and when our presentation should be done. It was important to have this schedule because it gave structure to the project and a sense of priority to parts of the assignment like the presentation and music video. Having a schedule also helps with using all of your time wisely.
Some challenges we faced in the brainstorming and planning part of the project were when to film and coming up with ideas for the music videos. For the filming time it was hard to plan because after filming you need time to edit and before filming everyone needs to be on board with an idea. You need to find the perfect day to film because if you schedule it to early then the idea won't be as good, but if you schedule it too late then the editing won't be as good.
To help us with the brainstorming part we did a story board for the music video and a research chart for our presentation. The story board helped us by giving us a visual of what our shots should look like. The research chart helped us by giving us an understanding of what successful companies and artist do to brand themselves.
The steps after planning and brainstorming are following through on your plan. Make sure that every day you come in you are hitting your deadlines for when things should be done. This is when you do the music video and presentation.
