Production Meeting Reflection


We are planning a music magazine show for our next project, and before we can actually make a start. We had a production meeting where the whole class including the teachers, sit down with our ideas of a music magazine show and discuss our points and share any advice or improvements that could be made. While everyone in the group was sharing their individual ideas, we all took down quick/basic notes from each peer which were:  name of the show, involvement of audience, outstanding points and any improvements. After each person shared their idea, as a group we all talked about what we liked about their ideas and why it stood out to us and we also gave improvements/changes that could be made to make their music magazine show much better and even get chosen.

When it came to me sharing my idea about the music magazine show, I had a brief description on a piece of paper which also had a few images of the logo, title, set design and background design. The reason I chose to show the group the designs that I have created was because it's much easier for people to not only her but to also visualize what it is that you have produced. Honestly I was very impressed and surprised with the groups reaction to my ideas for the music magazine show.








The feedback that I got was that they liked the title of the show which is 'drop da Base' , they also really liked the design of the title including the logo so I was very pleased with their reaction to that. They also told me that they liked my ideas of the guest speakers and fans having a rap battle and wining a chance to produce a small recording with their fan which they can take home with them.
 
After the meeting, we were able to go home and think about all the ideas that were shared in the group and decide on the best music magazine show that you personally liked from the group, I chose 'Pick up the vibe' which was Arrun's idea, the reason I chose his idea firstly because I find the name of the show very catchy and relevant to have as the name for the music magazine show. The different games that he came up with, even though some of the games were a bit adventurous but then again that's the whole point you want to make your show stand out from other music magazine shows that are out there. Also one of the games involved the audience, where a question would be asked to them and they could win tickets to a concert and personally I think involving the audience in the show as much as possible is vital, because not only is the guests on the show important but so is the audience, especially the fans that are out there in the crowd because what you need to remember is that you need to grab their attention to your show. Most importantly his ideas always related back to the brief of the main ideas for the music magazine show. He covered the title, designs, games, audience and set. All of these points are essential to bring out a good and well known show.

The main thing definitely needs to be added, is more involvement with the audience and guest speakers that are on the show.
There were some areas that needed improvement to make the show much better. I chose to take some ideas from other people and include it into pick up the vibe. One of the ideas that I chose was to have a couple rap battle, where the guest couples would rap about one another. I think including this idea would be great fun for the audience because they can hear about the guest that they may never have known before. Interviewing the guests is also a good idea, asking them questions about themselves or about upcoming events which will inform the audience.
