Today me and the group finished the video project and rendered it. Me and the group all agreed the video was good and we all had our favourite parts of the video. the Video should be uploaded to youtube soon by Luke on his channel which will make it easier for me to show family and friends and ask for their opinions. Today we also completed the questionnaire which will be printed off next week. Next week me and the group must hand out the questionnaires to people. Next week Me and the group will also complete our evaluations and then do our presentation and after looking at different options we decided to do a powerpoint presentation. Now that the FMP is complete it is time to move onto the next stage and complete our final project for the final time.

Today me and the group are going to complete the video and finish off the editing. We will also complete the questionnaires and and think about our presentation next week. Joe and Charlie will focus on the questionnaires whilst Luke will finish the audio and title screen for the video

Today we the rest of the group wrote our meeting plan for today and continued the editing. We added more songs in the video as well as talking about the sound effects. I managed to finish editing the video with the help of Luke and Charlie. With the groups input about music and editing we managed to get everything we wanted in the video. I stated on the credits and we still have a few bits we need to tweak tommorow. A member of staff recommend to add a few more sound effects but me and the group felt we have everything we needed but we will discuss this further tommorow as well as polishing off the video and making sure it is up to good standard. We will also need to render our video and put it on YouTube. Luke will be responsible for putting the finished video on YouTube. Me and Charlie and start the questionnaires tommorow and begin to think about the presentation next week further. Overall the video as it is right now looks pretty good and looking forward to rendering and presenting the finished product

Today me and the group picked up were we left off last week. Luke made his own version of the video over the weekend so he could show his mother. There were a few disagreements about what music to put in that video but things settled down once we got started editing the rest of the video. We managed to edit the 80,s and 90,s as well as some of the 2000,s. We should be able to finish the video tommorow and polish it to make sure everything is too a good standard. During the editing I decided to experiment with some sound effects which didn't really work but I'm glad I tried them just to make sure. We have also started thinking about next week, we plan on doing our questionnaires, presentation and Evaluation and having that all done by next week.

With the clay animation done. The group did not hesitate to begin editing, we went to the uni building and started discussing songs and sound effects. we spent a while discussing what we wanted but once we started work out video came to life and we even drew a bit of an audience towards the computer with people taking curiosity with our project. We got the sound effects for 60,s and 70,s done and we were happy with our progress and look forward to continue our work next week and seeing it come together.

Today me and the group wrote our meeting plan and while we were at it decided to make some more backgrounds incase we get time for extra scenes. We managed to complete the 2000,s and 2010s and we didn't really have any real problems. When we came to the end of our animation project I felt like we had done plenty and didn't need anymore. Luke really wanted to do the extra scenes but I didn't want to, this minor disagreement was settled with a member of staff who understood both of our point of views. We ended up making the extra scenes for Luke but me and another group member had very little enthusiasm towards this. We completed the animation part of our project today and tommorow me and the group will think about the editing and the music for our video and what our plans are next week.

Yesterday me and the group jumped straight into the animation and began progress.
We had an issue with our ghostbusters scene because the the ghost wouldn't hold upright when attactched to the fishing string to make it appear like it was floating. Luke came up with the idea to attach a stick to the back of the ghost instead and so we continued to make progress. Once we got up to the "2000,s" the group began to realise that we would finish the animation sooner than expected so started thinking about what to do next. As we had more time Luke preferred that we add en extra scene or two to make the our video project a little longer as we were already struggling to make the video atleast 5 minutes. Charlie wasn't too keen on this idea but I agreed with Luke that another scene wouldn't hurt. As we began to wrap up the 2000,s the animation programme on our computer closed down unexpectedly. In a panic Luke quickly re-opened the animation programme. Only to discover we had lost had lost all our work since the ghostbusters scene. After a short break to process what had just happened we decided to re-do what we could. Today me and the group are feeling confident that we will finish the last of our animation today despite the set back we had yesterday.

Today the group felt more comfortable, we finished the last scene of our 60,s genre and started work on 70,s. Progress today was good and stable because the clay man issue had been fixed. The clay man continues to be the main problem because it changes everytime it is moved. However we have done the best to work around this issue and will wrap up our 70,s genre tommorow.  As I have spent more time with clay animation I am slowly becoming more comfortable with it and being my first clay animation I've done, I have learnt alot from this project and will continue to learn as we make more progress. The clay man is currently stable but we agreed that perhaps the clay man could evolve with the video, as we do our best to keep this solid clay man as humanoid as possible. The group agreed the the clay man is not the star of this project but his is still and important asset to this production. The group agreed that the audience would understand the video more with small protagonist at the centre acting as camera guide as we explore different music, films etc from the 60,s - 2010,s. We would like this video to appeal to a large audience with nostalgia, humour and lighthearted atmosphere throughout.

This morning we had a plan set out. Due to the figure we had being unstable like it was last week, we were going to fix it and make sure it walked properly with some new techniques. The day started off a bit slow but once we started animating we made good progress. However after recieving some critisism we came up with some different ideas and after a short lunch we decided to make a new character. However this led to disaster as our new character was too tall for the camera. After many failed attempts at trying to adjust the camera the group became unsettled about how little progress we had made and after tripping over the camera consistently from lack of patience, It seemed that we would make no progress on our project. Another group offered to help us as they were very much on track. They agreed to a new character for our animation in exchange for a little help in their project. They needed "extras" in their video project and so we agreed. After helping them they made us a great new character model. This new character put us back on track and we finished the afternoon with a great start to our animation project. We still have alot of work to do but we will learn from our mistakes and move on

Today me and the group attempted to film our production. The biggest problem we had was animating our character. This brought about alot of frustration and critisism. We ended up filming two intros. We then decided to show people and ask them what they think. The opinions were mixed but everyone agreed that the movement of our clay animation figures was a problem. Next week we will make our final decision on what to do next.

# data[].attributes.body
Today me and my group are going to start our production work. All the backgrounds and most of the props are ready. We are going to attempt to finish the intro scene to the video using clay animation. We did some pre preparation yesterday by making all the backgrounds and finishing anything off as well as some research. We also looked at some clay animation tutorials.

# data[].attributes.body
Today We finished the backgrounds as well as a few other bits. Luke edited together some great backgrounds whilst i trimmed them and stuck them on some cardboard with some gluestick. Charlie helped with the signs, a small detail we felt was needed for our FMP as the small details are very important and can make a big difference. We finished the day looking at some videos learning some animation techniques for video.

Over the weekend I brought some lightsabers, a camper van and a delorean car for our FMP. Today Luke is going to get some backgrounds done, I am going to get the spaceman, rocketship, and american flag drawings done. Charlie is going to make some signs. Today Luke brought in some props for our production.

The To-Do list for today and things we need to get over the weekend.

# data[].attributes.body
Yesterday Luke and Charlie made some more clay props for our project to do we can begin to do some test shots next week. I was unable to help with the clay props after being sent home early due to feeling "unwell". However next week all the sets and props must be finished see we can start planning our filming. I must also so some more research when I can and some deconstructions. There are a couple of props I must bring in next week for our project. Today the FMP has been put on hold due to Delta wanting to tie up some loose ends from our last project. Any preparation for next week must be done over the weekend so we can think about moving onto the next step with the FMP

Today me and the group have been making our sets and getting some of our props ready using clay, me and Charlie did the majority of the clay stuff while Luke made some great backgrounds for our setup. To see everything put together has boosted my confidence in this entire project.

Luke brought some materials in for our pre-production work. I still need to do some more research and deconstructions but today me and my group are going to do some pre-production wor

Today me and the group spent the day writing our storyboard. We worked together well and discussed our ideas and we agreed we will let each other put some of our own ideas in. We now know what video we want to make from start to finish but has also showed me the level of detail in this video and how long it will take to make this project. The group remain happy and we maintain a strong bond. We also started work on our scripts which I will finish and then type it up next week. We also made a "shopping list" for the things we need for this project. Dave a staff teacher introduced the group to an app called Celtx. I will use this app to type up my script with a professional layout.

Me and luke and Charlie further discussed our ideas. Today got off at a bit of a rough start as well as heavy amounts of anxiety which lead to me contemplating about leaving the group. After luke told me about the plans we had and showed me how organised we are with the project my head became more stable and felt more able enough to continue this project after luke showed me what we had achieved. Today I did some research on animation and after me, charlie and luke completed our proposal ready to show cliff. While i am still feeling heavy amounts of anxiety about this project, once work begins on the animation it may be easier for me to see the big picture for this project. Luke and Charlies faith in this project has helped me to cope with the overwhelming pressure with this project.

# data[].attributes.body
Today me , Luke and Charlie finished our research for music videos. I must still do my research for clay animation. Me, Luke and Charlie made spider-grams on the different eras about what events and props we can include in our video project. I did the spider-gram for 60,s and 70s, Luke did his spider-gram about the 80s, and 2000,s and Charlie did his spider gram about the 90,s and 2010s. Tomorrow I must finish research and we must propose our idea to Cliff so we can start on our storyboard.

# data[].attributes.body
Today i did some research on music videos and popular music at different periods of times. i must finish this off next week and then look at animation and then do the synopsis and storyboard with my group and then the week after we can do some pre-production.

Today the groups were set up for the final major project and we began planning our ideas. Me, Matt, mark and Micheal are currently in a group. We have decided to make a comedy skit based on South Park an animation show which highlights the funny stereotypes in America. Matt wanted to make the "British version" of this show with our own personal signature on it. While I think this is a good idea I feel like I'm getting very little say in this project. This is the mindmap we made for a storyboard idea
