As I reflect on the first week of this project, I feel confident and prepared for the work ahead. Normally the beginning stages of any project can be difficult, but I am determined to stay motivated and focused, as I know I have the skills and knowledge to pass this, but if I'm not focused and don't try my best there will have been no point of doing this award again.

However, today was an amazing day where I learned more about the course content and the people who will be guiding us through this Course/Project. It was interesting to gain an insight into their backgrounds, experiences, and teaching methods, and I am excited to learn from them and develop new skills that will be valuable in both my personal and professional life.

Overall, I am feeling positive and enthusiastic about the upcoming weeks of this project, and I am ready to dive deeper into the material, collaborate with my peers, and push myself to achieve my goals.

As I reflect on the second week of this project, I can say it was a fun lesson, as I was able to play around with Simon Dinsell's cameras and camera lenses, as well as work my way around finding out the real names of different settings and stuff and what the real meaning behind each thing was. This then helped me build upon my knowledge and understanding of different things within the cameras. I say this is really good because I know how to use the cameras and stuff to a high level, however, I never have really known the names behind the things I'm using and what the definition is behind what I am actually doing if you understand what I mean.

With me now kinda remembering everything that was said I can now sound a bit more professional, whereas normally my camera words never match my skills and the outcome of my work.

Overall, I am feeling really positive about how this project can develop my skills and knowledge further, so I can become better and help others as well as myself, become the best people within the media industry.

These were photos, that I had decided to take of some interesting parts of the equipment we were introduced to today, and to be honest they are really good equipment, that I may be willing to invest in later down the line.

Unfortunately, I wasn't in but all I can say, As I reflect on week three, I can say it was a really nice lesson, to properly understand the amount of work that goes into a scriptwriter, and to properly understand what their job is to do within the film industry. I can strongly agree after this lesson, I will really want to take on the role of a scriptwriter as when I did this role I really loved it and brought out a really strong piece of work, the only way that I won't be taking part in this role I s if someone else in my team really wants to take that role, however, I will still put in the work to help them out and put a piece of my knowledge and understanding into it, and leave them to the rest, to develop the idea furthermore.

Except for that I can strongly say I can do, and understand the role and the importance of a scriptwriter, and will take this role along with me and develop it further for my future career of wanting to own my own production company.

But due to me not being in I had to read through the slides to get a stronger understanding of what was really happening during that day, and I had to speak to other members of the class

As I reflect on the fourth week of this project I was introduced to film reviewing and critiquing, and I'm not going to lie, I know this is not what I want to do. However, from being introduced to this, I was able to learn that it is not only short video reviews on films but there is also someone who sits in the cinema and takes notes on the film that is being played in the cinema, and this seems like the most hardest job to do in my opinion, due to you having to write all these notes down whilst still trying to watch the movie and enjoy it.

However from this lesson, I am leaving with loads of knowledge on this part of media, which is really interesting, and some homework to do exactly this. But to be honest, I am glad to be giving this as homework as I would have never put this to the test, but now I have no choice but to, allowing me to properly experience this part of media and decide if I want to carry this on further more into the future.

As I reflect on the fifth week of the BFI project I can say it was a good lesson as I was not only able to learn but I was able to be introduced to my new group and that was amazing. When talking about what I had learnt, I learnt the ins and outs of how to be a producer/Director, the journey I would have to take and how stressful it could be when running the role of producer, due to the amount of problems you come across and people you have to just deal with.

Except for all that I would say from today's lesson I have been able to leave with a stronger understanding of the different roles played within the industry and the way how different creative minds come together they can make something amazing if they work together to please each other's ideas.

As I reflect on the sixth week of this BFI project I will say today was an amazing day, as we were able to play around with some expensive equipment that was bought by no other than Ian Mann, who had a load of equipment he had bought in just for us on that day. He then allowed us to practice with the different cameras he had bought and get a feel of the different lenses, and lens filters he had. The only thing I would say about today was the way how my team collapsed when I wasn't with them, due to me having to help another group as they needed help and I was chosen to help them. But this just allowed me to see that I need to always be present with the group to keep everything together and prevent anything from falling apart.

Except for that, I love the way I am ending today with a bit more knowledge on my team and their strengths and weaknesses, as it then allows me to be able to pick the roles each person plays and how they will all be played to allow everything to go nicely and no problems to happen.

# data[].attributes.body
Here I have added some photos that I had taken of the equipment bought by Ian Mann, I also took a picture of the set-up used by my group as we were allowed to play around with the equipment in front of everyone. I also added a WhatsApp conversation clip of me deciding everyone's roles within the group to produce the final outcome, and I also added a photo of the presentation Yunus was making during the time, whilst taking information from us all in the group and himself.

This video was made by Renaissance Studio, however, I have decided to add a screenshot of a moment you can see me within it. During this time in this video I was a producer so I was just listening and learning as time went on.

Go to the next slides to see all the planning that I had done for this project.

# data[].attributes.body
As a producer, I had to make sure to make the risk assessment and this is what I had done for it.

# data[].attributes.body
As the producer I had made sure to also make a production schedule for our team as well, unfortunately, my director had different ideas and just pushed it to the side, but it is what it is.

# data[].attributes.body
As I am the producer I had to make sure I had done this Contingency plan for my team.

# data[].attributes.body
With this script, I had planned and written it myself before we had come up with any other ideas, as we had decided our film would be about the killing situation that happened in Croydon. Then after I had planned and come up with timing and secret messages I then sent it over to Yunus my director so he could tell me what was good and what wasn't then he made changes to it.

I wasn't in but from looking at the slides and listening to what everyone else was saying, and from my catch-up lesson.

As I reflect on Week 7 I believe it was a really fun and interesting day, due to the way they had allowed everyone to be able to get actively involved in it through things such as games and questions. I know this as I had done the same lesson but on a different day as I was catching up with what had gone on that day, and I could say the type of information I had received has bettered me and has allowed me to properly understand how to control and deal with Cretan situations in life, whether it means I need to ignore the other person or just go along with it, causing them to go silent as they have nothing else to say, meaning you've just won the argument by being the bigger person.

This has then allowed me to be able to take this knowledge and then use it for future situations, instead of following my old ways of losing my cool easily and then losing the argument after.

As I reflect on the eighth week of the BFI project I will say today was a really amazing and creative day, as we were able to walk around and explore a variety of locations where we could shoot in as we have been given permission thanks to Renaissance who got us this. As well as this today has helped me with my location planning skills, allowing me to see it is best to explore locations in person as you are always able to see what you would like and dislike when shooting, giving you a choice on whether or not you want to use that location.

Except for that, today has allowed me and my team to see and explore some of the different locations, it has also allowed us to find different shots of locations we want to catch on the drone, which then allowed our minds to think even more creatively and come up with some more ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
I took quite a few pictures today due to my looking for as many locations that we could use for our short film, and these are some of the locations that I had chosen. The only thing is some of these locations didn't fit the storyline so some will not be used. As well as this I had taken a photo of the clock tower as I really want to take a rotating drone shot near it.

As I reflect on week nine I can say that this day was really fun and amazing, came across the problem where a member never showed up for the filming, and she was meant to be the actor, which then led to us having to get one of my friends from college to come and be the actor instead and luckily she was able to come and help out. Another problem we had come across was the fact the camera operator didn't really seem to know how to operate the camera, but hopefully, our editor can sort this situation out as he says he has loads of experience with making his own short films and excreta.

But except for all those problems we had come across, our team was strong throughout all the way to the end, and we had a wicked time together, filled with loads of laughs and entertainment from each other. I was able to learn a bit more about my team when in action and i was finally able to see that there are people my age who can work well together and stay professional throughout.

As I reflect on week ten I can say today was a really fun day, and full of even more snacks, hahaha, but except for that I was able to learn a bit more about editing and editing codes that I never knew before, so I can strongly say that today has allowed me to develop my editing knowledge and maybe my editing skills.

However I have a really bad feeling that my editor Isn't going to get this done, as we have been asking him for an edit update and he hasn't given it yet, so I need to be prepared to have to edit for our group, the only thing is I am overloaded with work already and stressed out, so I hop that he can get it done and have it done to a very high standard, if not I will need to just farm it and try to get it done as soon as as well as my college work which is also coming up to the deadline thats just round the corner.

As part of this course, I will be watching The Colour Purple at the Peckham Cinema, where I will write a 600-word max review on this movie.

Will it be as good as the original, maybe, maybe not, you'll just have to hold on and see. I should be watching this movie on Tuesday, the 30th of January, I will show my evidence on the same slide of the review.

Are you looking for a black muscle/Drama based on the early 19th century? Well, you are in the right place, as this is exactly what you are looking for, this is a muscle that goes by the name, The Color Purple, a recreation of the original Color Purple that was made in 1985. This movie is based on the timeline 1909 - 1947 and shows the life of black women during these times and the struggles they had gone through. They also present three different types of black women that would have been seen during these times, the one that stands up for themselves and doesn't accept any form of disrespect, the one that never takes action and is pushed around, and the most loved and popular one that every man wants and will do anything for, These were shown through the characters Sofia, Celie and Shug Avery who all played massive parts within this movie.

I will strongly recommend watching this if you love muscles, Dreamers or love to learn about how life was back in the day. You will see so many amazing things throughout the movie, an example of this is the number of obstacles Celie had to face throughout her life, later defeating them all becoming a stronger and independent woman, the way how Sofia had a strong and balanced relationship that later changed due to her man being looked down on by his father who didn't understand why she was so free to do whatever she wanted and wasn't controlled by him, then Shug Avery who had every man falling for her and was able to be treated as an equal to the men.

On the other hand, if you are triggered by rape, incest, sexism, violence toward women or explicit sex, I would not recommend watching this as it contains all, also this movie is rated pg-13 but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone under the age of 16.

Today was the submission day for our short film, and our editor hasn't done the work to fit any of our expectations, I found this out only Yesterday as he only just showed us what he had done, and let's just say I've been trying to get it all done for today, till the point I still haven't slept from the time he had sent it to us during the day, and I still don't have it done. Luckily We have been given some extended time for tomorrow so I will be staying up even longer to get this done, I just hope I can do well within this time.

Except for that frustrating and vexing moment, I can say today was able to relax my brain a bit more as it was online and we were able to play a few games and let out everything, thank you to Aisha Gordon-Hiles who is an amazing therapist.

As I reflect on week twelve and the last day at Renaissance with the team and everyone else, I really enjoyed it and loved the journey and memories that came along with it. I may have not won today, but I will win another time, as I'm ready and I'm gonna come back bigger and harder on the next short film I drop, it may not be with everyone in this group from this project, but will hopefully be with Yunus and some others that caught my eye during the project.

Except for that, I can say I came here to see what talent goes on in my generation, as lately, I haven't been seeing much as some take too much power over everything, some don't take any, and some are just not good but calm there the best, but working on this project tho I did see some of this happen I was able to spot out the one or two individuals that stood out with their strong determination and dedication, and I could say well done to them, if I don't end up teaming with them I will keep an eye out for them as they are people I wanna see grow.

Anyway back to today's lesson, to me and my team never one, we all tried our best to get it all done to the best we could, and the film that did win, wow, that was amazing, loved every second of it, if I could turn anything into a movie I would turn that into a movie definitely and if not a movie a series.

Amazing day, loved the whole day, these photos where taken by renaissance studio and edited by me.
