Self reflect on problem solving skills and teamwork skills.

Presenter target: Demonstrate basic knowledge and contribution to solving post production problems.

Diary:
Today we got a lot done. Pretty much all of the editing has been done today, and as a group we are very happy of the outcome. We have exported this and is all ready for marking. Our focus group is complete and managed to get a few of our classmates to complete our already made focus group sheet.
I have also gone through the checklist from Qube and ensured that everything is on my blendspace. Overall, I feel that we used our time very well over the course of the day.

L.O - Analyse the effectiveness of solutions to an audio-based/ visual based problem in creative media production.

Target - Self reflect on problem solving skills and teamwork skills.

Diary:
Today I completed a large chunk of the evaluation task. I did this handwritten to prevent any distraction that may occur through computer use. I have taken this home with me where I will complete the rest before tomorrow's 5pm deadline. Also, as a group we have an editing plan for tomorrow and will ensure all documents are finalised before 5pm. To improve today I possibly could have made more progress on the evaluation however, I feel I have not rushed this and that it is to a good standard.

Targets:
Demonstrate effective team work in production and contribution of team meetings.

Diary Log:
Today we had Ben absent, however me and Kristian got straight to work on the editing. We successfully ordered and synced the visual to the audio using Final Cut Pro. We also made a start of inserted the desired clips onto the green screen. Inserting transitions into each clip is something we came up with as an improvement to get rid of the jump from clip to clip. Finally, we caught up on writing up the team meetings from our notes, and have transferred this to our blendspaces. I felt that this was another productive day and have written out a plan for what is left to do next week (the deadline week).

Diary Log:
Today we re recorded our footage to our desired standard. We also followed up on our improvements to swap Ben holding the boom mic to actually working the clapper board, and generally overseeing everything. We then went to the library and ensured that our work was all uploaded to blendspace. We set out in what order we would edit tomorrow and have a clear plan. Overall, it was a successful day of recording!

Targets: Demonstrate effective team work in production and contribution of team meeting

Individual Target: Develop an understanding of post production techniques in relation to production.

Diary Log:
Today we discussed how yesterdays filming went, and decided that we will use that as practice and do a re run of the filming next Monday. This will be done in one take and if any mistakes are made we will stop and start at the top of the paragraph. Also, Ben will swap out of the boom mic role and hold cue cards instead of using an auto cue on the iPads. This makes it easier for the presenter. We have completed the production meeting documents for yesterday and today also. Ben has written a focus group document up too, as well as writing out a plan for next weeks lessons.

Target: Demonstrate effective teamwork in pitching concept for news segment and contribution to team meeting.

Diary entry:
Today we went through all of our pre production documents to look for improvements and constructive tweaks to make. I wrote up all meeting minutes for the group because previously they were only written in a note pad, they are now on our blendspaces. Finally, we pitched our ideas to Sophie and all played different roles in presenting this. We feel that it went well. During half term I will take on the formative feedback and make the changes needed.

Target: Demonstrate effective teamwork in pitching concept for news segment and contribution to team meetings.

Diary entry:
Today we have completed our pre production document as a group. We edited parts of each others individual documents to suit us as a group. We have also made valuable edits to our script to make it ready for use. All important pre production documents have been collected up and transferred to a word document which we will switch to a PDF. To improve, we would have needed the macs to be able to properly upload all of our documents to word. I feel that we are ready to pitch our work tomorrow and that our final script is very near to completion, if not completed. Tomorrow we will rehearse our pitch and then pitch it at 3 30.

Target:
Demonstrate effective teamwork in production and contribution to team meetings

Diary:
Today we finished off all of the pre production documents. We have them all uploaded to blendspace. On the script, me and Ben contributed to a lot of it and it is now coming along well. Kristian completed the location list and we now have uploaded it to blendspace. The audio list is now complete too. Next week we can start to film as we have most of the script, although this needs around another 100 words to be at our desired 500 words

Targets:

Demonstrate effective teamwork in production and contribution to team meetings.

Diary:

Today we completed a lot of the pre production documents. These included storyboard. location list and a lot of work done to the script. We found and listed many possible songs that could be played in the background. Whilst completing the storyboard we thought about shot types and where the presenter will be standing. To improve we will all contribute by adding our ideas to the pre production documents, this will ultimately result in them being to the best quality possible whilst involving the whole group.

Targets:

Apply knowledge of appropriate language in the development of script writing

Demonstrate effective teamwork in production of pre production documentation and contribution to team meetings

Diary Log:

Today we started thinking about location ideas, as well as coming up with more ideas for the production. This led to us making a start on individual scripts. Me being the presenter, I have the final say on what does go into the script and what does not. In our meeting we discussed potential topics to talk about.

Also, we looked at suitable language that we should / should not use whilst on air and came up with replacements. We have set each other research tasks to do at home and also to complete one pre production document each at home, mine being the storyboard. To improve, we will come together and set up a chart to present our ideas for the pilot episode. This way, we can easily see which ideas are good and which are not.

Targets:

Demonstrate an understanding and consideration of audio/visual recording problems and solutions.

Demonstrate effective teamwork in production of pre production documents and contribute to team meeting.

Diary Entry:

Today we were split into our job roles for the morning, and took part in a short quiz about female presenters. We then held a team meeting in our production teams and set each other research tasks. We sketched a quick plan of our floor plan for shooting and also conducted audio tests with the microphones. We decided that we will use the boom microphones during our broadcast because we picked up the skills to use them very quickly and results proved very effective. To improve, we will carry on researching at home and log our findings on the already made Google docs for all to see.

Targets:

Analyse the requirements and parameters of an audio/visual based problem in creative media production.

Identify key pre production documents and the key elements required to meet near professional standards. (Risk assessment, production schedule, contingency plan, storyboard, script and minutes of meetings).

Diary Log:
Today we have finalised our job roles within the production Our final idea is a geek culture show that will be Directed and Produced by Ben, Filmed and Edited by Kristian and presented and researched by me. We have completed our first team meeting and decided on what we will work on next lesson. Now that we have our own job roles we can begin to research skills that will help us during production.

Targets: Analyse the requirements and parameters of an audio-visual based problems in creative media production.

Diary Log: Today we have started to put ideas down onto our individual project proposal. We also have extended our primary research by analysing the results of our questionnaires that we conducted yesterday. These have helped me sculpt my idea in my proposal. From today, I now know what my individual idea to propose to the group will be, and I feel it is quite a good, current idea. Now that I know my role in the group, I can start to do individual research into how to act as presenter. To improve, I will complete more research analysis and log the results on the template document provided. Also, I will add to my individual project proposal and extend upon my idea for the broadcast.

Diary Log:

Today we created questionnaires to gather ideas for our overall idea. It was created on survey monkey and this will be used to generate further ideas. We also looked at equipment and roles within a broadcast. We made notes and explained how green screens are used, and have decided that we will be very interested in using one. When at home, I will get friends and family to complete my questionnaire so that I have varied and fair results to work with.

Diary Log:

Today we went out and filmed audio and visual experiment where I was the presenter. We then edited this and uploaded to youtube. The locations that we chose were very effective and varied, we did this to give us an idea of how different places look and feel on camera. We also had a quick go of all job roles, to give us an idea of which one we would like to take up for the actual broadcast.

# data[].attributes.body
Today I made notes on Audio and Visual problems which I used my homework to help me with. I learnt the many things that could possibly go wrong during live TV. Also, I researched how green screens are used and how to cut down the echo to get the best sound quality. These skills are important to remember so that when I come to the actual broadcast, I do not have to mess around with sound quality and will know the best places to record audio.

Diary Log:

Today I have researched further into MTV's audience and gathered a lot of statistics. I found it quite easy to find this information as MTV is a very popular company. With the researched I conducted yesterday with Ofcom & BARB, I have now presented this in an audience profile document and have listed all sources used in a bibliography. I feel the layout that I presented this in is very clear and easy for me to come back to and read over, however I could add a little more detail to my research along the way as it is always useful.

# data[].attributes.body
By the 12th Jan I need to have researched companies such as BARB and OFCOM as well as audio visual problems. Final deadline for all work is March

1. To not get distracted easily whilst on task

2. To ensure I continue to meet deadlines

Today I have researched further into BARB and Ofcom through MTV. I looked at and recorded viewing figures and comparing different monthly stats. I found the BARB website easy to navigate. I have started a bibliography where I will log all websites used for future reference. Another thing I did was set up a new Padlet page and set new SMART targets.
