Music Marketing Blog Post #2

Throughout the project, we as a group had many steps for the project. One of the main parts was research. We would find all the information needed to complete each person's part in the group. We would go to every website to give us the best information we could put either in the research chart or the presentation. We had many ideas for planning and brainstorming. We would put our ideas on our notes and the storyboard that we use for the music video. One important thing we used as a group was working together and collaborating on the ideas we were thinking of. As soon as we worked together everything clicked and we finished the work more efficiently.

During the production and the scenes, we had props and scenery to make a more interesting video. One example we used was the ukulele. For the production we had every step figured out we just needed to execute it correctly. For the video, we tried to make it as entertaining as possible and also to attract the viewers watching it. So, we had cut scenes that explained the story well but also made the audience laugh. For the post-production, we worked well. One person in our group liked to edit and said she would do it and it came out well. We helped as a group to pick the correct scenes to use so the video can come out better. Our presentation was great but we need more explanation about our campaign. For example, we needed to show our merchandise and all of our socials, not just a couple.

One thing I learned from this project is that working together makes everything come out better and makes people collaborate and be social with each other. I enjoyed working with this group because we finished everything on time there was no rush and everything worked out perfectly. Some aspects of this project that will help me for the portfolio project, will be the techniques used for the production and the research need to complete every step. This project will also give me more experience for bigger projects in the future, like the Cambridge portfolio project which is important for the class.

This is some of the research we used.
