27th April Reflection

This is the 2nd lesson we started creating our music video. In the previous lesson, we chose a song that we all agreed on. However, we left out a factor that was quit important, the time. "Life is a Highway" is 5 minutes long, and to put an interesting story with different varieties might be hard, and end up plain and boring. Therefore, We chose a new song that was shorter, and more concise. This process was done in a short time, since we decided that the lyrics and the overall sound of the song wasn't the most important. The chosen song was "Someday - Nickelback)

Then we started to think of ideas, also developing on previously ideas. I tried to take more control in this lesson, and rather took charge. I tried to ask my teammates for ideas, and combining them with my own. Slowly, a storyline seemed to develop.
We tried to connect the story to a theme - the environment. We focused on the environments specifically in Hong Kong, since there has a huge variety of places that is interesting. We wrote down the different places and tried to think of a transition, or how to connect them together.
Throughout the lesson, I tried to be motivated, and keep moving on. However, there were times when we were stuck, and lacking ideas. We asked the teacher for help, and we got lots of tips and ideas.

We had an idea of what we were doing. We also went on the internet to find more inspiration, and it helped a lot. We also starting writing our script.
I was glad that we made some considerable progress this lesson. I tried to lead the group, and we tried to work efficiently.
