Choosing the song
Me and my group decided on the song. We looked into Melanie Martinez's songs, as well as Camila Cabello's songs (Havana, OMG), but decided to stick with Melanie Martinez as we felt we could do something more creative in the music video. We considered Cake and Gingerbread Man, but we chose Gingerbread Man as it is slow and we want to do something that's not too fast paced.
From today, we will be coming up with ideas for the music video and preparing our pitch.

Lip sync task - edited video
Me and my group made this video to practice lip syncing, shooting and editing. I think it came out rather well, however, when we make our final music video, we will have to manage our time better.
UPDATE (09/02/2018): We have done this practice music video to Taylor Swift's song called 'Style', but we've only recently noticed that it has been removed from Youtube after checking through my blog. We are unable to find it after this amount of time so apologies for the missing video.

Done practice music video
We have finished filming and editing the practice music video. I think it turned out well and have taught me a few things, such as how to use Adobe Premiere and allowed me to reflect on things I will do differently next year when I make my real music video.
Reflection
What I've enjoyed: My expectation of what I was going to enjoy was different than it turned out to be. I really enjoyed editing the video and using Premiere because it is a very effective tool for video editing.
What I've learnt: I've learnt how to use the basic functions of Premiere and using it also allowed me to experiment and work out how to do things by myself. Also, I've learnt how to use a Canon camera for filming (as I'm used to using Nikons) which is very important for next year when I'm making my real music video.
Major challenges: I think the major challenge was to get the lighting right in the shots and to work with manual focus because every time the camera moved, it had to be changed and sometimes we forgot to do this. So next time I'll definitely pay lots of attention to getting the focus right in the shots.
Major challenges for main project: I think working on my main project next year will be much harder because it will take more time to plan and film as it will be about 3-4 minutes long. I'll also have to do the shooting outside of college meaning I will have to communicate clearly about when, how and what we're filming with the members of my group I am going to be in. So time management and communication will definitely be challenging, as well as the filming and editing.
