thank you Becky; I'm pleased to say that you have now passed all criteria for these units

Hi Becky - just checking your Padlet and it doesn't seem as if you have uploaded the completed version of your evaluation. Please could you do this as a matter of urgency.

I also seem to be missing your production schedule and evidence of music as there isn't any in your E-Book for me to cross-reference with.

1. What's your overall thoughts on the e-book?
It's pretty good for what you've got so far - you are going to finish this, right?
I like it.
It's all right I suppose.
Is the prince supposed to look like an emo?
2. Is there anything that you like about the e-book?
The characters look awesome - well done to Rachel on the character design.
Backgrounds look neat - I like what you did with the teapot
3. Is there anything you think could change about the e-book?
I guess it could be a little more animated - what editing program did you use?
Yeah, animation defo. It all seems a little boring with the characters just bleeping in and out like that.
Maybe the look of the prince - he looks a little stupid compared to the other characters.
4. Do you think that using the child character of Little Red Riding Hood as the Troublemaker was a good idea?
Yeah, I guess so. It's normally the younger characters who are usually little [swear word]
It's kinda cool, but I guess it's always the kids who are the troublemakers, aren't they?
5. If I were to do this over again, what do you think I should do to make it a good e-book?
I guess change the design of the prince, cause he looks really stupid
Change how Snow White looks - is she supposed to be made to look like she's sitting at a table or was that a problem with her design?
Just animate it using Final Cut instead of Premier Pro - you'd get them moving then.

in the morning
we done a class quiz about children's TV shows, which was fun and got very competitive, after this we had a discussion about the evaluation and what we should include in it. before lunch we made a start on the evaluation.

in the afternoon
I started working more on my evaluation, and someone came round to talk about work experience, I have decided to ask my mum to ask to go to work with her. I managed to work on over half of my evaluation even though some of it couldn't be completed as my group still hasn't finished our e-book yet. I found the evaluation very easy to come by, answering the questions in full detail was not a problem for me. My team has planned to stay longer after maths to work on our e-books, the main target it to focus on audio.

what went well?
finding the evaluation easy to go through, answering the questions in full detail

what went wrong?
the fact that I couldn't answer the whole evaluation as my team did not manage to finish it yet.

watching the review of whiplash and drive, they where both very different reviews. With drive he spoke about the bad reviews it was given, he also spoke about hidden meanings of the film that people wasn't paying attention to he also spoke about the character more than the story line, which in some ways I think is good and bad, he spoke about the characters life in the story, and why his life is significant to the story. I like the way he compared the good and the bad reviews, and tried to say what was good about it. In whiplash he spoke about the story line and the characters, he also gave examples so people might relate to the characters point. In this review he spoke about the obvious meaning also. Watching these has helped me think about compare and contrast a lot more and how I will be using this in my evaluation.

in the morning we had a quiz on things we had covered in the unit, we also had another team meeting to discuss where we were up to, and what we had to do for the rest of the lesson, since it is our last lesson to get everything done in class…
mine and Maisie's plan was to finish backgrounds and rachel's was to complete animation

in the afternoon we got a start on the background me and maisie sent it to my email so we could to it on the mac computer, while rachel got finishing her animation for the characters. we finally finished the three backgrounds after finding ways to work with it on photoshop.

what went wrong?
that we couldn't find some of the backgrounds that maisie had saved to her email on the other computers, we also found it hard working out how to use photoshop for our backgrounds, we had to ask for help a few times.

what went well?
we finally got all visual done, so that is one less thing to worry about, and we have done a plan of action to come in on friday with Maisie and Rachel to stet and complete audio, and Maisie and Rachel are coming in on tuesday to finish audio if it hasn't been completed on friday...

# data[].attributes.body
We had another team meeting in the morning, to discuss what the plan was to go further with our e-books. As we still have a lot to get through, like audio, we have a recording on Maisie's phone of us going over the script, but not the real thing yet. We still need to finish animation, Rachel will need to finish creating the rest of the characters.

In the afternoon we started on animation we all helped Rachel create the rest of the characters and giver her some idea's and what they should look like, as we are creating all reading well-known characters we wanted them to look a little different to what people know them to look like. Me and Maisie finished the third background, so we have all the images out the way.

this is all we got done for the day as it is very hard to make audio when the whole class needs to make a start and it is very hard to all get a place in a few rooms to start recording.

what went well?
that we got some more work done and all the visual is out of the way so that is one less thing to worry about.

what could be done better?
now we are getting closer to the end of this unit, we need to start working harder and faster so we can create the best e-book we possibly can.

Today we finished making music for our story we did not finish making all of our sound effects but we will be doing that next week. We also went over the script a few times and then we recorded it ...

What went well?
We worked as a team and got more work done today

What could have been better?
We could have got all of our audio done

# data[].attributes.body
Today my team plan to finish audio completely so that next lesson we can finish backgrounds and animation

# data[].attributes.body
in the morning we had another team meeting discussing what we where going to do later on in the day, my team decided to get a start on audio which included voices and music.

in the afternoon my team went into another room to start on our audio we started coming up with music/sound for each scene for example to music on every characters  entry into the story. At the end of the day we started coming up with an idea for character voices and who would do who's voices. I will be red riding hood, Maisie will be snow white and narrator, Rachel will be Hatter and Prince.

what went well?
that we started on audio and made appropriate decisions in the group

what could have done better?
my team could have put in a little more effort and done more work

In the morning we got in our teams and had another team meeting, we discussed our targets, we also proofread the script.

In the afternoon, we got back into our groups Rachel started creating more characters using photoshop, myself and Maisie played around with photoshop so we knew how to create our backgrounds. After this, me and Maisie started working on our backgrounds, we created 2 of them. We did not have enough time to make the third one, but as we will both be in college tomorrow, we decided to do or third background tomorrow.

What went wrong?
It took a very long time to create one background, as we used images of Google and photoshopped them into our backgrounds took up more time. So we did not get all three gone.

What went well?
That we managed to do more than half of our backgrounds, and there is only one left to do, this will make it

In the morning we had a group meeting about what we need to do for the day. Myself and Maisie continued on some of the script, and Rachel started on her mad hatter drawing.

After lunch me and Maisie continued to do the script and finally finished, Rachel finished her drawing of the mad hatter.

after this Dave showed us how to create a moving animation on photoshop. I didn't finish doing this, as I wasn't in last lesson when they had started to do something similar to this, so i did not take everything down, i still learned a lot from what i did do, such as how to make the picture's move and how to combined them together to make one whole video. I also learned how to cut some of the video. the only thing i didn't learn how to do was create the moving lion. to resolve this Dave has given me a link on the qube of another video to watch which will help me.

after this my team still had one target left to get a start on the backgrounds, by the time we had done the photoshop we did not have time to do all the backgrounds as it would take too much time, so we decided that Maisie would get a start on it the next day as she is in, and she has a rough idea of what she wants to do for the background, and she will have more spare time to do this. We will still need more time to do all three of our backgrounds, so we will have to have another team meeting to discuss when we will do this, because it needs to be done.

next step

for next lesson I want our three our backgrounds done, I also want to start on sounds for our story's. If anything else needs doing i will be sure to discuss this with my team so we can continue to move forward.

in the morning we watched a scene from a movie about a boy who wants to play the drums but he keeps getting put down and gets made to think he is not worthy, but in the end scene at first he screws up because he gets given the wrong music sheet, so he goes off stage, then he comes back and proves everyone wrong. he makes everyone shocked because in this scene of then film this is the only time he has ever played like that throughout the whole movie. I think the character is a very outspoken sort of person and very shy and doesn't prove anybody wrong.

In the morning we began our mind maps creating our idea's we discussed this in our groups we had a few ideas, we where thinking of doing a fairy tale type story, with a hero and a villain but then we decided this was too common, so we decided to change this, then we thought about birthday party's then we came up with the idea of a tea party, and who is best at hosting this? Mad Hatter. we decided instead of a villain there is going to be a trouble maker, who is not good, but not bad, a trickster. who is going to be naughty, but what children would humour.

In the afternoon we began to finalise our mind map, i then went on to writing my proposal, which included things about the breif and all the ideas we discussed in the morning with our mind maps. we included what was the strengths and weaknesses of our ideas.

Today we talked about e-books and the photographs which are included in the books, we watched a tutorial which Hannah created it lasted for around 18 minuets which she spoke about and showed how to create a child like image using another image. I found this very useful. Afterwards i started playing around with photoshop i got a little more confident with what i was using. After this we got given a list of problems we might face we had to pick two then figure out how to do this on photoshop. i tried picking two which i would find difficult so If i overcame this i would be even more confident with photoshop.

with one of the problems i did find this diffiicault but after a few takes i finally figured out how to do this.
