This is my weekly progress, as well as the problems I encountered and the solutions to them. These were written by me.
Week 1
What we did?
First week after our first term break. For the remainder of grade 12, we'll be working on creating music video.
This week, we learned about media ecology and how new technology affects media. Media ecology is how technology and media influence and shape our behavior and society. I also did Preliminary Research.
Problems
I haven't finished my individual research on songs of the genre my team chose: pop. My team and I also haven't come to a decision on which song to create a music video of.
Solutions
We'll decide on a song soon.
Week 2
What we did?
We began with our genre research. We also learned about various convergences: like technological convergence, textual convergence, etc.
Problems
Internet didn't run smoothly during one of the media classes, so the teacher could only teach using the presentation available locally. I also still struggle remembering the definitions of each of the convergences.
Solutions
I need to learn harder.
Week 3
What we did?
Continued with genre research and song selection.
Problems
At first, we wanted to pick Just Keep Watching by Tate McRae for our music project. But since the song features a female voice and we didn't have a female in our group (recruiting a suitable one would take too much time, and our schedule was tight), we decided to choose a different song instead.
Solutions
We decided to have each of us pick a song and conduct a vote to decide.
Week 4
What we did?
We began creating our storyboard and statement of intent. My teammate, Kenzo participated in a 2-day sports competition, so he couldn't come to school. Because of that, the rest of us made the statement of intent without Kenzo. But later, we showed it to him and he was satisfied.

We decided to have each of us pick a song and conduct a vote to decide.
Week 5
What we did?
This week, we started doing location scout and risk assessment. It took some time for us to decide which locations to feature in our music video, but we finished it on time.
Problems
We weren't able to finish parts of the storyboard and moodboard.
Solutions
We'll make sure to finish them in our free time at home, so we can focus on the remaining tasks.
Week 6
What we did?
This is our final week before semester exam. The teacher allowed us to finish Comp 3 during media studies period this week, which gave us enough time to finish our tasks. Though, we did miss out on a classwork about media theories.
Problems
We didn't have a proper schedule and were running out time, which led to me getting stressed out.
Solutions
We'll do finish them on the weekend and add them to our blogs. I also need to double-check the contents of my blog, making sure everything has been included and there's nothing missing.
Reflection:
Despite sometimes forgetting to jot down my progress, it has really helped me set goals and track my improvements, as well as allowing me to reflect on the mistakes that my team and I made, in order to not make those same mistakes in the future. As seen in my Weekly Progress above, I often had little time left to complete some of my tasks, meaning that I need to manage my time better as to keep myself on schedule.
