Today is deadline day and I happy to say that I have had everything finished on time and it is all uploaded which I am very happy about. We screened our projects today and we went first I was a bit nervous about everyone watching our video because I think it could be better and more interesting but I am happy with how it turned out. we got some negative and positive research from people; they liked the video and said it was informative and the pictures looked good but it wasn't very creative and at some points they got a bit bored, and i agree with this but it wasn't fully our fault because the day we were supposed to film acting scenes our actors cancelled on us and we didn't have time to find anyone else so we changed our idea. overall I'm happy with how the screening went and will take into consideration the points and next year it will do the FMP better and in a different way.

FMP project: Gender Equality Through the Ages Final!

Today wasn't a very good day, I started to properly edit to day and it just hasn't been going well. As I have been going over the footage we are going to use a lot of isn't how I wanted it to look because the quality isn't very good whether it's the way we filmed it or the camera it just doesn't look that professional and we can't go a re-film it all because we have no time I need to edit it all this week and get it finished. I think if the actors hadn't quit on use than we would have taken more time to make the shots look better because we kind of rushed what we filmed because we had to change most of our idea so we didn't have a lot of time to film it before we had to start editing. So I am going to try and edit it as best I can and make it look as good as we can and helpfully it will turn out alright. its just annoying because I wanted to do good not this project and because we are tight on time and having to rush a bit its not looking too good, but it helps to know what to do and what not to do next year.

Today was a successful day, we didn't have any set backs with our production. We got our first feedback for FMP back today to do with Task one, overall I got a merit but we had feedback on how we could improve and mine was to add Harvard References to my Proposal and Mood board. So for the proposal I went and found the website I had used for information, they were quite easy to find because I had mostly used the websites that came up at the top of google when you search and I also included the book I looked at from the library. For the Mood board I just looked up all the pictures I had used and got their web address. Hopefully doing this will bring my task one up to a distinction. I then went on to doing the rushes log for the footage we had, it took a while but it helped me because I now know what footage I am defiantly going to use and what i don't need. Overall today has been successful and next week I will be properly starting editing.

Today didn't start off to well. We was ready to start filming the acting scenes but we got told that the other actor we had coming in the one we needed to do the acting scenes couldn't do it and cancelled on us. As a group we were disappointed and annoyed because thats the second time thats happened to us. We asked around and tried to find someone but we was unsuccessful, so we had a meeting and decided to change our video a bit and changed it to a more factual video where I am speaking and discussing Gender Equality through the years and when i come to edit it I will include pictures that go with what I'm talking about. We managed to film it all today so tomorrow we will start editing. Even though it started off negative today was quite successful and I'm happy with what we film. I'm confident our video will turn out good.

Today we came up against a bit of a problem, the actress who was going to be in our video, who's Gina's friend, cancelled on us out of nowhere the day we was going to start filming. It annoyed all of use quite a lot because now we are a bit stuck on what to do. We had a contingency plan that we wrote up but we hoped that we wouldn't have to use it, it said that if we got into this situation that we would either find someone from the drama department to do it for us or one of us would have to act. We asked some people form the drama department at the start of the day but we haven't heard back from anyone yet which was a bit expected because everyone doing exams and coursework at the moment so it would be hard to come and do this. So we sat down in our group and decided that I was going to do the acting as I don't have to do any roles that go towards the filming as I am the producer and editor. I'm okay with doing this because I know we need me but I'm not sure if I will be a great actor but I will try my best. We are going to start filming tomorrow because thats when the other actor can come and today I will be going and filming my family for the interview.

Today the first thing my group did was sit down and have a meeting where we discussed the video and what we wanted to include in more detail. We had a few disagreements with what we wanted to include in the video and how we would film it but we overcame them by talking and sorting out an compromise. We then went onto work on some of the pre-production documents; Gina did the risk assessment sheet, Tabitha did the equipment log and I finished the production schedule. There wasn't really much i could learn today as we were just working in our groups.

Today we started Pre- Production and looking at the documents we had to complete as a group. Leila talked to us about minute meetings and how to make them good so it will help your grade. I'm glad she went over this because in the other projects we've done I'm not very good at doing meetings minutes and writing enough information for them because I either forgot about them or couldn't be bothered to do them. I learnt that when you have a meeting its good to record the session or take notes because it helps you when you write the template because you know what you've talked about and it helps you if you forget something. I also learnt what information goes in each part of the template like the actions taken were you put the persons initials, what they need to do and when they need to complete it by. In our first meeting my group discussed what our job roles are and me and Gina have swapped roles so I am going to be the producer while Gina is now the Camera Operator we decided to do this because I have a better idea of how I want to portray the video and I don't mind doing all the paperwork and what pre-production documents we each would do, I will be doing the Production Schedule with help from the others, recording the Meeting Minutes and Rushes Logs. I think today was a good day and we got a decent amount done, tomorrow we will be doing the script and storyboard.

Today we worked on primary research for our FMP. We had to complete three different research sources to support our project. In groups we had to conduct a focus group, vox pops and 1:1 interviews, we did this to gather research on our chosen topic for our FMP to help us make the content that our target audience would like. So we spilt into groups and my group had to do vox pops first in the town, which I don't like doing because I don't like going up to people and asking them to answer questions because I feel like i'm interrupting their day but I ended up talking to one person so i'm happy. My group managed to get three people to answer our questions which is good because we got some good responses but we only got women to answer so it was a bit biased. The focus group had the best results as we had male and females to answer the questions and they all were very passionate about the subject and had all has their own opinions and we got some really good responses from them that will defiantly help. For the 1:1 interviews we conducted two who were both female so again it was quite biased but they had a big age different so it was good to get answers from different generations so we could compare them. Overall I think I have defiantly improved with collecting primary research because with the first project we did we had to conduct vox pops in our groups and I think my group only got one and the answers weren't very detailed so it didn't really go well the first time so I can defiantly say I improved but I still don't like going out and doing them even though they are a good way to gather research i'm just not that confident. This research will help with our FMP and writing up our formal report.

Toady we started on 2a research where went to find a source of information that was not digital that was to do with our FMP. we had a template we had to complete about information on it. I found a good book in the college library about equal opportunities in the world, the book was designed for students to read in school. It was a good book to look at because it had everything I needed in it. One page was about women in work and why they were treated different to men which is one of the subjects in my FMP, so it gave me some extra information. Before we did this secondary research I didn't realise how much better it is to look at a book or a newspaper because all the information you need it right there and its easy to find and reference. Also it's so much easier to borrow a book from a library because you know whats written is true and using a index is easy and helps to find certain information rather then scrolling throng a whole page on a website. I prefer doing research like this because it's easier and more reliable and will defiantly be doing it in the future. This also helps me for university because there you are given a number of text books to use for your class and thats really all you have.

The diary log workshop really helped me to understand how important writing good diary logs because they do go towards your grade and can bring it down if they aren't very good. I learned that I need to proof read all my diary logs and make sure my spelling, punctuality and grammar is good so it can help me get an distinction. In the next session I will make sure I spend more time on my diary logs at the end of the day and always proof read them.

Today we had a photography workshop where we learned visual skills like space, colour and depth of field, technical skills like shutter speed, aperture and ISO and the context of a photo like the meaning. we then had to go out and take photos of three different visual skills, i did colour, space and depth of field. I'm happy with my photos and think they look good, although I'm not very good at doing the meaning of photos and i just take them and not think of the context. i then went back and edited a couple on photoshop, by changing the brightness and saturation. overall I'm very happy with this work shop as i learnt things that i didn't know before and i know i will be able to use it in the future.

Today we were doing task 2a of the FMP which included looking up three different industry professionals and two job roles. For the industry professionals I did; George Lucas who is a producer who produced films like Star Wars, Joss Whedon who's a director, he's done films like the Avengers, and Dean Semler who is a camera operator and has filmed movies like Maleficent. I talked about the movies they've done, awards they've gotten and how they got into their profession. In my group i'm going to be the camera operator and the editor because i'm good at editing and as i've haven't been proper camera operator it will give me a chance to use a camera properly and practice for the future. I looked at the qualifications, skills and requirements for each job and both said that you don't actually need to have a qualification for the subject but experience in the industry. A problem I faced was that I found it hard to find information about the camera operator, Dean Semler, because I couldn't find a lot about him like his biography because there just wasn't a lot on websites and I checked a lot. In the end I just put all the little bits of information I got together so I had a decent amount of facts about him.

Today I worked on my proposal for my project and discussed it with my group. My idea was to create a factual video about Gender equality and everyone being equal because i believed in this subject and thats its been going on for so long it should be done with now. I was going to include information about; gender stereotypes and the pay gap. I choose to do this topic because its an issue at the moment and men and women should be treated equally in everyday and not be told how to act or what to do. I wanted to include interviews with people in different age ranges so I can show others peoples views on the subject and show what they believe to outline the differences. I made group with Gina and Tabitha because we discussed our ideas and came up with a good one where we could work together, Gina's idea was to compare the 1900's and 2016 so we thought we could talk about the differences with gender equality in the 1900's and 2016. Tabitha wanted to do a short film so we decided to include shot scenes of reenactments of how gender equality is now and in the 1900's. I really like our idea and I think it will get our point across. I'm hoping we can get our points across well and be successful with the project and get all the paperwork, theory work and film and edit it all on time. My target today was to pitch my idea well and informative which I think i did even though I was a worried because I'm not very good at talking in front of people for a long time on my own I get very nervous so I'm really happy that i managed to do it well.

Today we worked on our moodboards and proposal for our FMP my idea is to do a factual video or a article about equal rights and equality between genders. I struggled at the start to come up with an idea for my mood board  so i started to look on line on problems in 2016 to give me ideas. When I saw about gender equality and the pay gap I decided to do my project on that because I thought I was a good subject to make a factual video about or a article and I agree with it a lot that everyone should be equal and shouldn't have labels. For my mood board I got pictures of Print Adverts that I thought were powerful and outlined the cause well, I also annotated the mood board and each print advert to show what I think it means and how it ties in with the subject. Doing this mood board wasn't only part of the brief it also really help me to start my proposal because it helped my idea come together and what I wanted too say in my pitch. For my personal target I said that I wanted to be confident when presenting my pitch but our class didn't get onto pitching today because it took everyone a little bit longer to writes the proposal which I was okay with because it gives me longer to prepare my proposal and pitch so I am ready to do it tomorrow.

Today we did a workshop on the different equipment we might use for our FMP to help us get a refreshed on how to use them, they were; steadicam which I had never used or heard of before so I was a bit unsure how to film a video on that, lighting we had covered at the start of the year and I remembered some of it but not all so I was glad we were getting refreshed, audio which I was okay in because I have used it a few times, jib which i also had no idea how to use, tracker/dolly which I was quite confident in because for our social action TV advert my group used it for a scene so I knew how to use it and the hand held rig which I was okay with because I had used it briefly on a project before. We had to film 6 deconstruction videos that shows you how to set up each equipment and how to use it, my group tried to make our videos funny and entertaining so viewers don't get bored watching them, we included music. It was very helpful because I had forgot how to use some of the equipment and it helped me remember.

Today was the first day we started our FMP. We were issued the assignment brief. When I first read it and saw that our theme was '2016' I was a bit worried because I thought that its going to be quite hard to come up with a good idea thats fits the theme and we have a few restrictions so it doesn't leave us with a lot go choices. I'm positive that I'm going to come up with a good idea I just need to think about it. After we read the assign brief we had to make a mind map about what the task was, the deadline and what we have to to. The mind map helped me to learn more about the key details of the brief and everything we needed to do and our rules and restrictions. when I need to check something about the assignment brief quickly I can look at the mind map to find the information. There is some problems me and my group could come up with and thats managing the time because there is a lot to do on this assignment brief and not that long to do it so we will have to talk and work on ways we can get all the work done in time, which could be coming in on study days or using the study days to work at home. By reading the assignment brief I know what I need to to the next day so I can be prepared.
