This document contains a month-by-month production diary for a music video coursework project. It outlines the weekly progress and plans over a 5 month period, including choosing a genre and song, storyboarding, test filming, full filming of scenes, editing, adding ancillary materials, and revisions in preparation for submission. Contingency plans are noted in case of delays from scheduling issues or needing to revise based on feedback. The goal is to have a complete first draft of the music video and ancillary materials uploaded to a blog by the end of the 5 month period.
