After looking at previous student's blogs and music videos I have learnt that my blog needs to be very clear in displaying all my posts, so that anyone viewing, can easily navigate between posts instantly. I have also learnt that when making my music video my conventions also need to be strong and clear. I also need to make sure  all technical aspects such as lighting, camera angles, shot types, etc need to be perfect so that my music video looks professional. This task has clarified for me, the steps  I need to think about and take, for when it comes to making my music video, so that it looks as good as possible.
