This document outlines the production plan and progress for a student's advanced media studies portfolio over 27 weeks from September 2014 to April 2015. It involves producing a music video along with additional ancillary projects and completing regular analysis, research, planning, filming, editing, and evaluation activities. Key upcoming tasks include choosing a song, deciding on the video style, storyboarding, filming test footage, conducting market research, completing the storyboard, filming the video, editing draft versions, gathering feedback, and editing the final video and ancillary projects for upload by the end of April. Contingency plans are made for possible delays due to weather or other issues.
