The document outlines the process and progress of a group project to create a music video for an unsigned artist. It details the meetings held to decide on the artist, genre, and tasks. Research was conducted on possible artists and divided among the group. Planning included storyboarding, filming schedules, and experimenting with editing software. Filming took place over one day, and editing began with uploading, trimming, and re-shooting scenes. Challenges included uploading new footage and transferring files to speed up editing. Feedback was gathered to improve multiple versions before finalizing the video and ancillary products.
