WEEK:1

I Setup my blog and began research on industry and do that by answering questions about who would theorectically produce our movie and thus my group decided to base the producers and distributors on the production behind movies such as John Wick and The Raid. I'm excited to begin the project about the 2 minute film opening my ideas was to create a body cam shooter similar to the Video game Unrecorded.

WEEK:2

Today we were supposed to be beggining our research into genre but due to connection issues I was unable to begin and had to scribble a few notes on a peice of paper.

WEEK:3

In week 3 we had our first research assignment where we had to do 2 Big researches and 6 small researches about film opening where we analysed technical elements aswell as how they target their target audience. I wasn't able to fully finish my research plan which lowered its score I hope to improve on it and finish it.

WEEK:4

This week we began our statement of intent and when we put our minds together and came up with the plot line and story for our film aswell as our target demographic and psycographic and chose our final genre.  We also had seperated our jobs and delegated roles to each other.gbp;;[//gg;///;p;/[[/asddp;;;

WEEK:5

We began our roughdrafts on the story board aswell as the playscript and we had for the mostpart finalized our plan idea and sequence. We also watched a video on how to properly story board which helped ease and standarised the process and well show us how to actually do it so we can imrpove from our previous attempt.

WEEK: 6

In week 6 we had 3 project lessons which were used to finalise our preproduction which included our statement of intent, story board screen play screen test ETC. Though we did learn how to create a proper storyboard aswell how  to write and format a screen play and how to conduct a screen test . This will be the basis of our productions. Though many things are incomplete so we need to work overtime im a bit worried if my team is up to it though they seam distracted.

Week: 1

This week we were told to recreate a scene by our teacher. We chose to recreate a scene from john wick chapter 4 specifically the card scene. This acted as a great warm up and welcome back to the class after the week long holiday and gave us some experience on how we will shoot our scene. 

Week: 2

We practiced continuity editing and learnt how to minimise errors and mistakes with editing. This gave me a new prespective on ediiting as I had rarely done it recently. The way we practiced is by the teacher giving us clips of a man standing up and walking out of a room. Overall it was pretty fun and we were allowed to be very creative with our edits.

Week: 3

This week we began shooting and we want to overhaul large aspects of the opening as it would make things simpler and would make it more action packed. Shooting was fine we got an idea but I was a pretty bad camera man so were gonan find ways to fix that. This week we learnt about representation theory and gender theories and  our teacher also gave us feedback and told us to consider the credit sequence  and to do further research. We also began making behind the scenes post dominant reading posys and a post explaining how we organise our footage.

Week: 4

This week we only lesson due to long holidays. We got helpful feedback from our teacher about where and when we should put in opening credits aswell we started researching about our typeface and  fonts and thought about what our title would be. We also thought about reshooting our scenes to refine them and making them better.

Week: 5

We had a long weekend to due a lot of national holidays but our teacher had introduced us to the guideline on how we were going to get audience feedback from our screeen test. We used google forms and started to draft some questions.

Week: 6

In the first days of the week our school was shut down due to extreme weather. This made it harder for us to communicate with one another as it wasn't face to face although we got by by using whatsapp to call and text. This was also the week we began to do our ccr 1 and 2 and started to finilize our questions gather responses for our screen test.

Week: 7

In this week we began doing our ccr3 and 4 and mr shared us the template to make our ccrs more standarised I used this time to create my format and design to make it good and unique and aswell we had our first mock test but I was sick at the time so I will have to re do it in the future, This also lowered the amount of time we had for project lessons.

Week: 8

This week we Choose a time to do our reshoot and we aswell I remade the screentest to fit our new plotline and sequence aswell I also made progress on my CCRS by adding more information and details to it.

Week: 9

This week we made even more progress on ccrs and we finnaly choose and finalised the music for our film opening. for the introductory biek scene we decided to use the song Like a stone for the opening bike scene and Livin on a prayer for the fight scene.

Week: 10 Deadline Week

This week I crammed to finish everything. I stayed awake on many long nights to finish my CCRS and my blogs as it was being graded this wednesday. It was so stressful. I think I need to improve my time management. But now im glad that its all over and I dont have to worry about this well not until its cambridge exam time.

Final Reflection:

After completing the entirety of the project I'm FREEEE and honestly oh my god it was so stressful and completely my fault next time I have to fix my time management and improve my efficiency. But besides the stressful last minute cram, Overall the shooting process was really fun; I got to fly my drone and see my two friends fight for all too see.
