Being assigned the role of Producer for our Experimental music video group assignment was unexpected to me, but I’ve had a solid experience with it. While I would have preferred more creative input in the music video project, and while Producer was one of the roles I least wanted, I’ve found that collaborating with every group member and keeping everyone on the same wavelength has been relatively satisfying. I’ve been helped by all the other group members; they’ve helped to modify the schedules I’ve made and have posted communicatively in the Facebook group page I started.
An important factor in this group has been the dedication we all feel toward the project; we all foresee the music video as being the magnum opus of the F302 class this semester, and we’ve all agreed to put aside other classwork and work to make the time for filming this. We’ve decided from the very beginning that we want to stay on top of the pre-production planning, to ensure enhanced production. While the required use of a film camera for our videos will prove a large hindrance to the creative potential of each group, we will still make the best of our regrettably outdated circumstances and pitch together our talents and efforts to make a great music video for our songs.
As Producer, I’ve kept the meetings and planning structured and succinct, and I intend to direct the actors and set-up of shots in assistance with our Director. We’re ready to put all our planning to work and make something that we can show to people outside of this class and in the years to come. Along the way, we’ve developed creative bonds and will probably work together outside of this class again. In the meantime, I’ll help make decisions about creative details and guide the filming forward.
