today i was just finishing me evaluation for the production

# data[].attributes.body
Today we went out and asked people to complete a survey on our advert so we have feedback to put into our evaluation. We managed to get five people to take the surveys with good answers that we can use for the evaluation. I also made an survey monkey that I put on facebook and got some good responses form it. Almost all the feedback was positive about the advert. I also carried on with my evaluation.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we viewed all the adverta from each groups and got feedback. When are advert got showed I was nervous at what people would say but the feedback we got bad was so good, the tutors said how our shots were really good and looked professional, how are advert was very impressive for first year students. The negative feedback we got was how in the advert one of the actors was holding an book upside down and it was noticeable, it was our finale cut and we didn't really see the need to go back and change it, because it doesn't look that bad. Overall I am really proud with the feedback we got and I'm happy that our group worked together well.

Today I worked on my evaluation for the production as ,y group has finished our advert. I talked about the research I did for dyslexia using the NHS website, and my job role. I did noting else today just focused on that.

# data[].attributes.body
Today me and Gina made an questionnaire that we will give to five people after they watch out advert. We included a range of different questions, like asking if the advert was good, would it change how people are when they notice signs of dyslexia and how we can motive the advert. This will help us when we are writing up the evaluation for the advert. Editing is almost done and we do t have that much else to do for the production.  Sam finished al, the editing for the advert and the finished product looks really good! I'm so proud of it and think it went really well.

Today i worked on my print advert for the ad. i made a thew different designs to se what one i liked more some of them where>>>>>
i messed around with the fonts and the colours of the text. i needed up with an print ad that i like and think looks good. i used a picture form one of the scenes so it ties in with my advert well

# data[].attributes.body
Today we discussed how we would properly put the footage together as we've filmed all the scenes. we decided that we put some statistics throughout the advert instead of just at the end, so the audience will be able to understand what its about from the begging. we recored some sounds we needed, like a heartbeat, Joe used a curtain in the photography studio to make the sound and heavy breathing. tomorrow we'll do the last stages of editing and just work on our own print adverts.

Today was our fifth day in production. we was planning to film the classroom scene today, it was the last one we need to film. we had booked a room from 10:30- but the actress can only work till 11:45, we had a quick meeting and came to the conclusion that we wouldn't have enough time to film today, we wanted to make sure it looked how we wanted and get it perfect so we new we would need more time to do it, so we postponed it till next week and Sophie emailed a thew teachers to see if we can use a room. we ended up doing some editing with we shot the other day and worked on our print adverts.

Today was our fourth day working on the production and we properly started filming today. First we filmed the scene in the corridor, before we talked about what how we shoot the shots and make it look how we wanted it to. I thought we would finish filming quite quickly because the scene wasn't very big but it took most of the day, as we had to keep retaking the shot as it wasn't how we wanted or people kept walking through the corridor, but we got some really good shots in the end. then we used the photography studio as it was free to film the last scene, we used a spotlight, filming it went very well and dint take very long. tomorrow we are hopefully going to film the classroom scene then we will be done with filming and can move onto the editing stage.

Today was our third day working on production. we planned to film the last scene of the advert in the motion room using a spotlight to make it look at creepy, but in the end we couldn't film because we didn't have the paperwork we needed filled out, we were supposed to have the storyboard completely finished, we didn't have an equipment booking sheet and the risk assessment wasn't done, so we had to complete all the sheets and planned to use the room tomorrow, i had to email Delta asking if i can use the motion room in the afternoon. i made sure we had all the equipment we needed to film tomorrow, like the tracks, tascam and camera. hopefully we will be recording the scene in the corridor as well.

Today was very successful as we finally finished filming our advert. Our last scene was the classroom scene and we had a good location to film it in. It took us a while to film it but we got what we needed in the end. We used a threw students from the other groups to play the other class mates, this was very helpful as I'm not sure how else we would have filmed the scene without them. Now all we have to do is edit all the footage together and finish the print advert.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we drew up the storyboard for the advert. It was detailed and has all the shots in that we need to see, we made sure the times made it so it was up to a minute long, as it says in the assignment. We also went looking for the location we can film in, we looked at different classrooms around the college, the first one we found that we could use wasn't available for us to use so we had to find another one, which was okay as the second room was better. We also found a corridor to use but it's going to be a bit hard as there may be people walking around while we film the scene. Today has been successful as we have achieved a lot of things. Next week we aim to have the filming done.

# data[].attributes.body
Today was are first day of production. First we talked about what the idea was and how the advert was going to work. We completed the script, shit list and the risk assessment. For our first day I think it went well, and we just eased into doing most of the paperwork and easier stuff before we looked for an location and people to act. We have an idea for the location of a classroom but we need to find one we can use. Also we have to find some actors who can be the main People. Next week we will be making the storyboard and finding a location we can film it in

Today we learned about sound operating and the different devices you use to film an science. You use an tascam to record the sound and you connect it to am boom pole and shot gun mic, you have to make sure the mic isn't in shot of the camera. We then had to film an short scene using the sound devices. We filmed it all at first but then we found out the person recording the sound didn't actually record the sound, so we had to film it all agin which was annoying but that can happen alot  so we just have to be more careful and keep going. I think today was very productive and went well.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we talked about what job rules we wanted to have in the production groups. i want to be the producer as i am organised and good at meeting deadlines. i would manage the group well and make sure the are doing what they are supposed. I'm not afraid to be bossy. i will use schedules to make sure everything is moving along properly. if i couldn't do that i would be an editor as i like editing and can do it well, i have experience in doing it before.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we started on task four, where we had to design our pitch for our own social actions TV and print advert. My idea is for abuse, where a women hides her abuse from the world but when she looks in a mirror or sees her reflection you can see bruises and cuts, its aim to show people who are abused that you shouldn't hide it. I'll need equipment like a camera, a green screen, a microphone etc. i think my idea is okay but i'm not looking foreword to pitching my idea in front of the group.

19/10/16   today we did some Vox pops outside. went to the town to ask some people, in the end we only got two people to take part, one was very detailed. overall i think using vox pops is a bad way to get research because its hard to get people to take part as a lot of them don't have time or just don't want to be filmed so its hard to get what we need. i wouldn't use it agin/

today we edited our scenes we filmed form the movie the room. i mostly used the razor tool, to cut scenes down and take out what we didn't need, i added music and text to the start to make it more creepy. overall i found this quite hard to do, and it was tricky using the programme and taking out what i didn't need and changing it all.

today we learned about research, and the different stages of research and why companies do a lot of research before bringing out a new product or a new movie, for example they have to look at target audience and whats popular right now. if company don't do enough research it can have bad consequences, like the product could flop and no on would buy it so it would lose them a lot of money. we then learned how to use premiere pro and what tools to use when editing a video. i found this quite hard to understand and when we went onto to trying it out on the computers i wasn't sure what to do, so next time ill need to get help.

Today we worked on photoshop using different tools. some of the tool i used were eraser, crop, brightness, gradient, levels, saturation, warp and text. overall i found this quite easy as i have used photoshop before. i enjoyed using it because its fun to play with pictures and change them. its good that we learned how to use different tools as it will help when i have to make my own print advert.

examples of some of the tool i used >>>>

Today in pairs we compared cultural perspectives in print adverts. Me and my partner did ours on hair products, my advert was one you'd see here and the other one you would see in Saudi Arabia because the advert was aimed at women of wear head scarves. we had to explain why the adverts were different, including religious reasons. i had to explain the purpose of the advert, the target audience, etc. overall i think today went well, i completed the target work and think its as best i could do it.

# data[].attributes.body
Today we focused on print adverts and audience response to them. we had to write about what the advert was trying to do, how the producer is trying to persuade you and how do i feel about the advert, we did this on different kinds of adverts. overall i found this quite easy to do and managed to get through a few adverts. we then went on to look at some social action and educational adverts and did the same with them, which again i found quite easy to do. Next time i will try and write about more adverts than i did and deconstruct an moving advert.

Today i learned about lighting and all the different lights and cinematic tools you can use when taking a photo, Some of the lights we learned about where; mini led, spot light and a deco light. we learned about three point lighting which is using three different lights; back light, key light and fill at three different points, it stops shadows being in certain places on the model, i didn't understand this very well. Dave then demonstrated the three point lighting using led lights and a model to show how the lights work in filling out the shadows or how you can use the shadows if your doing a horror film, it was a bit tricky to understand how it all worked at first but i did get clearer. we then had to take pictures of the model while other people changed the brightness of the lights to we could see the different effects. next time i will ask more questions when i don't understand something.

Today i learned how to deconstruct an TV advert be outlining things like the target audience, the narrative and camera angles. i choose to do the Cadburys gorilla playing the drums advert and the compare the market meerkat advert. it was hard to find a good advert to do that and a range of camera angles. The Cadburys advert was good because there was a range of camera angles like extreme close ups and mid shots,

# data[].attributes.body
Today we had to get into groups and produce a scene from a movie. Which included making a story board and a shot list, that included all the camera angles we would use for each shot, like mid shot, close up and pan. Overall i think it went well, but it was hard to decide what camera angle to do with each shot. When we had to shoot the scene, i was the camera women, it was quite hard to do all the correct camera angles and do the correct techniques like the rule of thirds and focusing.

A target i would set myself is to make sure i do trial runs on the shot before i record it to make sure everything is right and to also make sure I'm using the focus and white balance.

# data[].attributes.body
Today i learned all about the codes & conventions that are in movies that show you what genre they are E.g Setting, costumes and time period. I then learned about different camera angles E.g mid shot, extreme close up and dutch tilt. I also learned about the rule of thirds which you should apply always when your taking a picture or filming.
Finally we learned about cameras and different techniques in the camera settings to make what your filming be correct and look better E.g White Balance, manual focus. i have never done any of this and can use these techniques in my future work.
A target i would set myself is to have more confidence in answering questions i know.
