Throughout this week, us a group, was determined to complete the ident by the end of the week. On tuesday, the editor started to edit the footage we captured. However, this didn't go too smoothly because of the different issues we came across. The editor was committed to produce this ident and we were helping him along the way. The other two members were starting to come up with different questions for our audience feedback. We knew that the we wanted to get some answers out of the audience that would have a impact on the final ident so we asked both open and closed questions. This in my opinion was going to be really effective because it gives us a wide range of different answers to use as evidence in our evaluation. Tuesday was a very productive day which gave us a confidence boost for the upcoming days.

For wednesdays lesson, we as a group had our own individual tasks. The editor of course has to edit the rest of the footage. Myself and Maisie were carrying on with the audience feedback and preparing for next weeks pitch. We are confident that the audience are going to give us some useful feedback for when I talk about it in my evaluation.

In Thursday, all we were doing was completing any outstanding work. The editor was finishing off editing the footage from the other day when we filming. I feel like the use of completing the editing this week will have a massive impact on the audience. This is because the completion of this edit by the end of the week, will give us plenty of time to start thinking about the audience feedback and how we are going to gather it.

This week had many different ups and downs. On the tuesday, we were preparing to go out a film our ident. I wasn't prepared for this as I didn't bring enough money for the bus. When we were filming, we were always aware of the potential risks which were that the weather was poor. The day went well in my opinion because we got most of the footage captured. The only thing we wasn't sure was that we felt like we wasn't taking enough pictures but the camera was the main technical difficulty because it was several seconds to take a picture. We were always questioning that if the the audience would be happy with less pictures but we didn't feel confident with what we produced.

On the wednesday, we were filming the elephant scene in the animation. As a group, we all knew that this scene would be easy to film so we were all confident we would get this scene completed today. Throughout the day, I came across one main technical problem and that was the camera. The main camera was not working which was not allowing us to film our scene. When filming this scene, we wanted the elephant to move smoothly so the audience wouldn't have any problems whilst watching it. Whilst we were doing this, the editor was editing the footage we captured yesterday. In the end, we did complete this scene but we had a problem. Because of the amount of pictures we had, we thought that it would be better if we re shooter tomorrow and produce an actual film instead of using pixilation.

The third and final day of production, we were re filming most of the shots. This shooting session went really well in my opinion because we were confident that we have used the correct shots to show much detail of whats happening in each shot. When we got back, the editor started editing the footage and the rest of the team were completing any outstanding work. We feel like the idea of us re shooting was really effective because we know feel confident that we can send the message across to the audience a lot clearer now.

I feel likely communication in my pitch was very effective in my pitch. First of all, my tone of voice in my opinion was very clear and understandable. The tone of my voice was understandable for the audience because the way i spoke was clear and understandable and the audience were hopefully understanding what i was trying to get across. The one area i need to improve is my stuttering. I need to improve this otherwise the audience will be very confused in what I'm trying to get across to them. I explained my slides in the powerpoint really effectively. this is because i spoke with some confidence to get the message across to them and to explain more in greater detail. The main area i need to improve is my confidence and explanation. this is because i want my confidence to grow so i can be happy with what I'm saying and I'm hoping the audience was able to understand what I'm trying to say. I feel like the main part of my pitch was the research. this is because i wanted to tell the audience what specific type of research we did which helped us out in the production. the audience was really impressed with what i was explaining because they were able to understand how the research helped us in finding out the target audience.

In my opinion, I feel like today has been a very productive day. The first thing we did in my opinion that was effective was the team meeting. This is because we gathered all of our thoughts for today and used them to discuss the different tasks we have to do today. I feel like the group contributed well today by concentrating on their individual targets.The animation testing we wanted to do was to use a green screen with our elephant in front of it and we wanted to try and enlarge it so we can do it in the filming week next week.When we were going to do an animation test, the camera we wanted to use was having technical issues. So, we acted professionally and solved this problem. The way we solved this problem was that we had a little discussion on what we can do. I feel like I could of done more work in todays lesson. This is because I wanted today to be a very productive lesson just like many others but I wasn't using my individual skills to do this. But, through many different stages on today, I was concentrating which is one of my best skill, to complete many different outstanding work I had to complete.
For my homework, I need to do a short podcast for my SWOT analysis to sum up my whole SWOT analysis as a whole. When i do get home, i will upload both my SWOT analysis and my podcast.

One of the main content I have used which talks about the target audience is that when I talk about my research, I talk specifically about the audience I have aimed the questionnaires at. This now gives me a very confident feeling about what audience I will talk about when coming to the pitch. Another part of the powerpoint I will be referring to the audience is what type of animation we will be using. I have referred to the audience by saying that by choosing both pixilation and claymation, we will show the audience how well we can work with them together to create an ident which can engage with the audience. I feel like the animation testings we had today, were really effective. This is because I feel like now we've seen how well we work work with both pixilation and claymation, it should have a impact on the audience because they might see the use of both types of animation, really professional and understandable for the storyline. The work we have been finalising this week, has been really effective towards the audience. This is because it has given us a clear idea on what audience we should aim at for the final ident. So, for example, when we were working on the testings today, we were doing a testing on pixilation. From that experiment, we saw clearly that pixilation can hopefully be very effective when coming towards sending a message across to the audience about feeling safe.

From doing the practice pitch, I came across many different good points. The main point was that my pitch was very detailed. This is a very good thing because it allows me to now build my confidence on this point and use this to my advantage when coming to actually doing the pitch next week.This will help our group when coming to the pitch because we will now feel like the ident the make the client happy with what we want to produce. My main area to improve on is stuttering and projecting my voice. I need to improve this because the stuttering I do, can have a massive impact on the final pitch because they will not be impressed by my puncualilty. Therefore, I need to work on these areas on improvement to get the best grade possible.
I used my knowledge of animation idents to help me throughout the pre production progress.this is a huge impact on the audience because they will now know what the ident is actually trying to promote. This is referred from the other day when we were having a discussion on when we should use the logo in our ident for the audience to understand who the ident is for.I have looked at the storyboards I was needing to do and looking for a way to try and engage with the audience. The final result was that we are going to have the logo on the company at the end of the ident to show that we are trying to promote the company at a high standard.
I feel like I have acted really professionally when setting my targets because I am setting targets which I feel like I can achieve and can have a impact on the production. I have been using individual skills to show that I am very keen to achieve my personal targets because I am wanting to get the best out of myself. In my opinion, I feel like I was focused for some areas of the lesson because I was listening to music and that makes me really concentrate on what I want to complete. I do feel like I need to stop day dreaming and fully focus on the work I am working on.
For my homework, I need to do literally any pre production that is outstanding. One of the pieces I need to do is my proposal. I need this to be very detailed and ready for when the client comes in for our pitch. I feel like my current work is on a satisfactory/good. This is because I am doing the work to a good standard but I am only describing. If I want to move up to that good standard, I am needing to explain more to achieve the higher grades.

Throughout this week, I have been using many different individual skills to help me to compete many different tasks. One of the main skill I used was concentration. I think that I used this skill to the best of my ability  because I have been able to concentrate and complete many different pieces of work without getting distracted. Another skill was that I used my communication skill. I used this skill whenever I was confused on any little bit of work so I can eventually get through it and carry on with the next stage of my work.
On the tuesday and wednesday, we were working on planning our proposal for the client. The other task we had to do was to do our individual powerpoint for the pitch to the client. I feel like these two tasks that we were working on was a bit difficult at the start. This is because I was not fully understanding on what I actually had to do. The way I got over this was that was asking other members what I had to do but I need to work on this to bring my confidence up to another level.
On the Thursday, I was completing any pre production work that was outstanding to keep up to date with the team. I feel like our animation testings are really effective when it comes to the audience. This is because we will show some members of the audience our little testings and they gave us some positive responses and it now gives us a clear understanding on what to do for the audience in our ident.

Overall, I feel like I am working on a pass because I am completing the work at a reasonable standard. But, I feel like I need to work on explaining into more detail to raise my work to the next grade.

Some of the techniques I used throughout this week whilst doing my work are very simple. The main one I used was that I felt like I was very professional when working on a specific task. I was very pleased with that because it leaded me onto finishing several different pieces of work to a reasonable high standard. I still feel like my confidence needs to develop a lot more as I need that to help me throughout different tasks. This was a huge impact on my consideration of the target audience because It gives me a load of new ideas on what different sections and groups of the target audience would like to see in an ident.

One of the main problems this week was that we didn't know how many frames per second we should use. We started to use 1 but we felt like it was too fast and it didn't look pixilated. So, the way we overcame this was that we used 3 frames in our recent animation testing and it improved a lot as a whole.

# data[].attributes.body
At the start of the week, I literally had no ideas on what I could do for my ident. But, I did know that I wanted to do claymation. So, I knew that I had to do some research to help me to get a clear idea on what I would like to do. The research I condensed, helped me out a lot as I now know that I really want to do claymation in my ident. The group I got put into are a group which can be very detiremind when it comes to working on several pieces of work. The team had two main clear ideas on what to do and we merged the ideas to create an idea which everyone is happy about. One of the team members had the idea of using an elephant in a tiny room to look like it is a big problem. Another idea is that the team member wanted to use the recent technology to show how popular the technology world is.

Our ideas and ambitions have really grown to another level. This is because we have a very solid idea which have boosted our confidence. Some moments in these early weeks of the pre production, we have come across many different problems. I and the group had to come up with many different creative solutions when we were having tough times. The most common solution we used was that was just having a group discussion about what we could do and how we could do it.

# data[].attributes.body
My research has helped me a lot for my initial ideas. This is because I know have some ideas of what I would like to do but I'm still not 100% on what I would like to produce. When it came to gathering information from the audience, I did come up with a few difficulties. This is because I was not confident with gathering information from the audience because I was still not clear in what I would like to get out of the audience. The main and clear difficulty I had whilst gathering information from the audience was that I didn't get enough responses and answers from the audience. This was a struggle to get over because I had to use them responses to try and acknowledge what the audience feel about the questions I asked them.
One main change I have made when it comes to my initial research is that I go into more depth when looking into websites to gather information from because I want to find more information about this specific website.
For my next project and FMP, I will be doing some very important changes to guide me through the different stages of completing a project and my FMP. Firstly, I will be looking into specific websites more depth because I want to find out the most important information as possible to help me on whatever I'm working on. Also, I will be improving on my confidence skills because I am needing this to be improved otherwise I will fall behind in many different units which will lead my confidence growth, nowhere.
Here is a picture of the animation workshop that took place today.

In todays lesson, we were mainly concentrating on completing our own individual targets. My target was to complete some of the target audience research and maybe start a questionnaire. Later on in the day, I was booked in for a animation workshop in the animation room with a few other members from my class. I did encounter some problems along the way which were a major set back because I spent more time on doing a task than I should of. The first problem I encountered was that I was struggling on complete some questions for the questionnaire. I wasn't understanding the whole purpose of the questionnaire and it took me time to fully understand it. The second problem was that I was not knowing how to draw a few things in the animation room which frustrated me. I way I overcame this was that I just drew the football goal just to see what it was going to look like and it came out reasonably good. I felt confident with creating the character and one of the objects in my workshop because I knew how to do it because I've done it before and I knew this wouldn't take a long time.

My planning,research and organisational skills have developed a lot this week. This is because it has made me understand what I have to do for next lesson and I knew that it wouldn't take a long time to do so I could move onto my next task.

In todays lesson, we first had a talk about the client brief. This is to give us a good understanding of the brief as a whole. This in my opinion gave me a very clear understanding of what the brief was and what the company roughly wanted. So, the next stage of todays lesson was to plan our research and to start doing our diary logs for this term. I first thing I did was plan my research. I wanted to do enough research for me to be confident with what to produce. This wasn't too difficult but it took me time to think what research I need to take part in. The final part of our lesson was to go to the animation workshop and carry out a series of different events of animation. I felt very confident when taking part in the animation work shop because I had recently completed this task a couple of days before. In my opinion, my area of improvement is to be more confident when working in a group with people I've never spoke to otherwise I won't get far in this unit.
