Classwork: Theory of Stardom

My chosen star for this theory is Dream, a famous youtuber in the gaming industry. He is not a music star, but I chose him to gain knowledge so I can apply it as a case study in future work.

MS Classwork: Theory of Stardom 

Reflection: This is my theory of stardom case study. I chose a well known youtuber who peaked at around covid times (2019-2023). I was not particularly apart of the fandom, however I was quite well informed as it was very popular in social media such as Tiktok, Instagram and especially Youtube. Some parts such as love life may be difficult to talk about as Dream did not have a known lover (though he was "shipped" with one of his friends). But other than that it was amusing to go down this rabbit hole.

Filming Schedule

 This is our project's filming schedule, which was made by Sagara but moved to canva by Gusde in order for us to be able to embed it into our blogs.

Design

Reflection: This filming schedule was done easily by Sagara as there were no challenges and was pretty simple to make. However, we did have to keep changing or adding to it as we were not finished with our filming which was an inconvenience.

BTS (Behind the Scenes)

 This is the BTS of our shoot

BTS Comp 3 

Reflection: The BTS was very fun and easy to make as we only need to take a couple of pictures and videos showing the process of our filming and maybe some bloopers. I had a great time working with my team as well as other members outside of our team such as Abhi, Gosha, and Bams.

Script + Storyboard

 This is our group's script and storyboard. This was made by me.

Design

Reflection: This script and storyboard was quite frustrating to make as we have different visions and sometimes it can be challenging to communicate those visions through words. We also had to think realistically as we may not be able to afford some scenes or may not be able to make some of our ideas work. For example, we plan to have a scene in a prison, which may be difficult to do in Bali. We also will have a gun however obviously for safety and legal reasons we cannot use a real gun, but instead will settle for a fake/soft gun.

Location Scout + Risk Assessment

 This is our location scout and risk assessment for our location choices, done by all of us.

Reflection: The location scout was quite difficult to do as we need a specific plot or place which can be difficult to film in such as a jail cell. However we made it work by being a little creative, planning to play with the lighting to make it seem we are in a place we arent.

Moodboard

 This is our project's moodboard, created by Maisie.

Comp 3 Media Moodboard

Reflections: The moodboard is made by Maisie, she designed the moodboard based on our writing/script we wrote on the lyrics, being inspired by the plot or storyline we are planning to go with for the music video. This moodboard will be able to help us with the type of lighting, angles or just general vibe that we are going for, and make sure that we do not go off course with the mise-en-scene of our music video.

Classwork: Persona

 This is the persona classwork we did for this project

Gary Moore persona media 

Reflection: This is my persona classwork of Gary Moore. I've done my research on him, what hes like online vs what hes like offline based on interviews of him from different times with different personas. This assignment was quite easy as we only need to do research. It is also especially useful as it helps with my understanding on personas and would help me implement personas on my group's band/star.
