Final major Project

# data[].attributes.body
For this week, I was literally checking if I have everything ready and printed out and placed into my folder for when I submit. This was very frustrating in my opinion because I wanted to get everything ready for the submission date or even earlier. I was struggling at some stages in this week because I was unable to find a piece of my work. I looked everywhere for this work and was asking the teachers around the k block to see if they have got my work but they didn't. This was a horrible feeling in my opinion because now I needed to complete a mindmap for everything to be ready. In my opinion, I think that my role as a producer for my final major project, has boosted my confidence to another level and I have learnt many different skills along the way of the production. I am happy with the work that I have produced and I have successfully put all of it into my folder.

Well, it is coming towards the end of this project and all we were doing for this week was edit. For Wednesday and Thursday, the editor was simply editing the footage we captured last week. On Wednesday, one of the group members didn't come into college because of an injury so it was going to be an uphill battle. So, I was having to help the editor out with the creating the background on photoshop and then animate it on Premier Pro. This task was very hard for me because I literally had no idea what to do but I was detirmind to complete this task and I eventually did. In the end, the editor did edit the final major project and this will a massive boost for us as we can now move onto getting everything ready for when we submit.

In this week, all I was doing was completing my pre production and then moving onto filming. On the Monday, I was finalising all my pre production documents so it is at a high standard and suitable for everyone to think that It is good. My role as a producer has been eventful to say the least because I have been doing several different pieces of work which I have never done before which has made me realise that I can do anything if I put my mind towards it. So, in the end, I did complete all of my pre production documents which has now allowed myself and us as a group, move onto filming the music video for our final major project. On Wednesday and Thursday we were filming 2/3 scenes out of our final major project. On Wednesday, we filmed the free falling scene. This In my opinion, was a great success because we got everything filmed and the footage captured for the next stages of the production but there was one down side. That was that the actor didn't turn up so we were asking several different people to act in our music video and we did find someone in the end. On Thursday, we were ready to use the animation room and to create some stop motion animation for our music video. Unfortunately, we was not aloud to use that room because it was fully booked so we had to change our idea. We decided to create some backgrounds on Photoshop and then edit it on Premier Pro. Overall, from this week, I feel like there has been many different positives and negatives which we as a group, can improve and learn on for the future.

In the seventh lesson, I was finalising the first five research documents we had to complete for our final major project. These five documents were taking me a long time to complete because I was struggling with the bibliography section of the template. These templates caused a lot of stress to me as a person because I wasn't confident enough to ask people for help which is a major concern for my final major project. In the end, I was able to complete the five documents which made me realise if I put my mind towards anything, I will be detirmined to complete a task which is needing to be complete.
In the eighth lesson, I was moving onto to task 2b. This was to complete the research summary. This task I had to complete was going to be very tricky in my honest opinion. This is because I am not very good at doing long word documents which involve me typing 1000 words because I will lose concentration. I did come across a problem which was I was not fully concentrating 100% which was very annoying in my opinion because I wasn't getting the work done to a reasonable standard which led me in being behind and losing my confidence as a whole. From this lesson, I need to work on my conectration skills to help me get through the different tasks I am needing to complete for my final major project. I did complete all of the research for my final major project which now allows me to start doing the pre production.
In the ninth lesson, I was starting to look at the different pre production documents I had to complete for my role as a producer. I had to complete several different templates and tasks for me to move onto the production. The documents in my opinion were a very hard task to complete because I have never done this before so im not experienced with this. overall, I did manage to complete several different documents with has allowed me to move onto the other pieces of work I have to complete and has boosted my confidence to another level.

In the fourth lesson, I was finalising my first task which was to complete a project proposal. This in my opinion was going to be very tricky because I am not confident in my spelling and grammar which has dented my confidence as a whole for this section of the final major project. I got off starting well with this piece of work because I was fully concentrating because I was listening to music which allows me to be very focused on a specific task which was to complete the project proposal. In the end, I did complete this task in the lesson which was a very good achievement because now it allows to move onto to the next stages of completing my final major project and this raises my confidence to another level.
In the fifth lesson, I moved onto starting my research for my final major project. We were told to look on the Qube and to look and complete the first research tasks that were given. This was going to be a lot harder than the other tasks in my opinion because I am not too good at doing my research which has led me to be quiet which leads me into such stress and anger because I don't know what to do. The research document I was competing was pretty straight forward which gave me the boost to finish off the template and finish the other sections of the research for the final major project. Overall, I feel like the work I completed today (some of the research documents), has gifted me a massive boost and believe in myself and to get all of the work done at a high standard.
For the sixth lesson, I was still carrying on with the research documents. This is because there was a lot to complete because research is very important when it comes to doing big projects because you need to get the primary and secondary research which can have a massive effect on my idea or anyone's idea as a whole because you will find out more about the specific topic you're working on and what people like and dislike. The research documents were a very hard task to get my head around and to actually complete because I was needing to fully focus on what I wanted to complete. Overall, from this lesson, I do feel like I have got a lot of the work done to a reasonable standard but I just need to work on my own independent skills to improve my work to a better standard.

For the first lesson of starting our final major project, I had to complete a mind map  about the parameters and requirements for the whole unit and the brief. This was a task which was going to take time for me in my opinion because I want to produce work at the best of my ability and also at a high standard. In my opinion, I feel like this mind map went really well for the first task because I was able to use my own personal and independent skills to a high standard which allowed me to concentrate and to finish off the work to a reasonable standard.
So, for the second lesson on our final major project, I was starting to complete a mood board about our idea. This task was going to be very easy to be very creative with the different ideas I want to use but I think that it was going to be very hard to lay out and show the other peers. I feel like this task allowed me to be fully concentrated and committed to my idea because I could be very creative and independent which can help me get through this task. I feel like this task was very tricky in my opinion because I had plenty of different ideas in my head but I was finding it hard to explain it by creating a mood board.
For the third lesson of this final unit, I was completing my mood board from the other lesson. This is because I was too busy getting distracted by other members in my class which made me fall behind in this unit in my opinion. So, the aim of todays lesson was to go over the work I had done on my mood board and add some more ideas for my final major project. In the end, I did complete the mood board but I did feel like I could of added more images and explained more in-depth about the specific ideas I am wanting to use
