Entry 5-Organising a meeting

Due to the deadline being closer than we first thought we have emailed our client to arrange a meeting for as soon as possible. We felt that the half term would be more beneficial as it would be when we all are free at the same time. our client didn't email back until the start of the half term but that wasn't a major issue.  The communication between the group and our client is a bit awkward and confusing as Alicia only has Victoria's email and she has to tell Ellie and I when she has replied and what she has replied with. We have created a Facebook chat as a group to try and make the communication easier.

Entry 4- More planning and mood board

We haven't heard back form our client for about a week now. This is a bit of a problem as we don't know what song she wants us to make a video for and what exactly it is she wants.  We have each made a small mind map of ideas for the song we have heard.  I have only given small, unspecific ideas at the moment. I have stated which type of music video could work well for her style of music.  After we have spoken to her it would be easier to create a completed mind map in detail.

I have also started to piece together a mind map. Things that I am going to add to the mood board would be things such as colours, style, inspiration e.g. similar music videos/ ,costumes and narrative.

Entry 3- Response from client/ Mind map

Yesterday, we were pleased to hear back from Alicia from ACM. She emailed us saying she was happy to co-prorate and work with us to produce a music video for one of her original songs. We are all happy to hear them.  Hearing more of her songs means we can get a better feel of what she is about her her complete style of music. I am personally very happy that we got a response and I am looking forward to working with her.  However, I feel a bit nervous about the whole thing because I want to do well and make something she would like.


As a group, We made our first mind map. We haven't come up with ideas as such yet because we haven't had a meeting with her yet. We have listed who we are doing a video for and what the purpose of it.

Entry 2- Contacting Client

Today Victoria and I listened to one of the people on the AMC.  We really liked the singer Alicia Hutchinson. Ellie and I had previously listened to a cover of 'Stay With Me'  and agreed she was talented.  The song we listened today was called 'You Really Think' and 'God Bless The Open Road' and thought it is possible that we could work with her. We emailed her using Victoria's email stating that we are interested in working with her and if she would like to work with us.


 I'm personally  excited to hear back from her and I hope she wants to work with us. After listening to her song, it reminded me of a song I had heard before so I searched it on YouTube and watched a few music videos in order to help come up with ideas. I have a few idea for what we can do and I will share them with the rest of the group later.

Entry 1- Setting up the assignment and groups

For this assignment, we have been asked to go into groups and create a music video for a given band/ artist. We have to work with that band or artist to produce a music video to a professional standard and something that both sides are happy with.  So far we have chosen our groups and have started the process of finding a band/artist.  The initial group I was in has decided to split off into two new groups because they're were too many people and communicating became difficult. This time I am In a group of three which should hopefully be easier.  As of yet, we haven't found someone that we like yet out of the ACM bands that were put onto moodle so we are still looking around for someone else.
