MV editing by ss

Self Reflection:
- Although I wasn't involved in the editing directly, I only gave occasional input and feedback but still share some concerns and thoughts surrounding it.

- The editing for our MV I believe had to be done in a very quick timeframe as we only managed to finish shooting every scene a mere few days before the submission date, this meant work had to be very quickly done for shooting but primarily the burden lied on our editor, we didn't manage to get all that much feedback in class since we finished at right around the end of the weekdays.

- Thankfully, our editor was able to finish the video very quickly and took sacrifices of taking a lot of their personal time in a day to finish it which allowed us to make the blogs quick. Furthermore, I believe the editor was able to be very efficient with their editing and asked for feedback from the teacher in off class times which were really helpful especially since the deadline was closing.

Research & Development: Digipak

 This is the Research & Development: Digipak blog for the Comp 3 project.

Self Reflection:
- I was only directly involved in this R&D by doing some parts of the research, aside from it everything was done by Gusde.

- I think some of the difficulties were of finding actual albums we want to use as inspiration, although Gusde is a big music geek it was surprisingly difficult to come up and name albums that would fit our intended MeS and brand identity, furthermore many of the album covers had very implied and cryptic meanings which were hard to uncover and explain in detail. In terms of the development, I believe Gusde had difficulties doing it as he had to draw it outdoors and the occasional rain would erase his work and put him in a considerable time limit.

- Finding the albums eventually became relatively easy as we had time to gather in Gusde's house to look through vinyls and have conversations that would eventually lead us to pointing out a album we can analyze. Gusde also managed to get the devlopment done pretty quick as soon as the weather following the rainy days cleared up.

Social Media Development Comp 3 by Maisie Halomoan3

Self Reflection:
- Aside from the occasional half baked input, I had zero contribution in this R&D, all credit goes to Maisie who was really active and handled this task very well.

- The main issues that I faced with this task was coming up with posts (including captions), and replies in our social media page that would fit our artists persona amd brand identity, this was made especially difficult for me since I am never an active social media user in terms of posting.

- Thankfully, this issue wasn't all that common and even if it was it was often handled by Maisie or with help of the group alone, some additional input was enough for Maisie to do things well, furthermore I think she gradually got more familiar and comfortable with the social media and our persona/identity, meaning these issues could pass relatively smoothly.
