Today we got put into production groups for the day. We had to film a short piece of film to practice for the main production. Mostly this went well apart from minor things like the sound of footsteps in the background and the fact that the actors started acting before the clapper board could be moved out of the way. These points are things I will make sure do not exist when creating the main production and I will focus on getting it right next time

Today I pitched for my job role in the production of an advertisement in front of my class. This went surprisingly well as I am not usually good at public speaking but I got through this one quite easily. I think that the more I practice public speaking the more confident I will become and I will be able to do it with out stressing out and no hasstle.

Today I went out into the public and interviewed strangers about 2 different adverts. This was effective as it gave me a understanding as to how good this type of research would be in the future and weather I should use it and if I should, what for?  I don't think I will be using this type of research for topics where I need detailed opinions but I shall be using it for things I jut need people's opinions on. I also made a questionnaire to help me understand the publics opinions. This will be more effective in the long run as there is a much larger amount of people that can answer the questions and I can get a wider range of answers rather than very similar answers from the same place

Today I made a log of the research I did on different media company's and what they do for the media industry. This included what they do that is good and bad. I did not finish this so I will have tto complete it at home to make sure I understand fully by next lesson.

Today I learnt how important research is in the creation of a media product. I learnt that even when the product is created it is still not ready for viewing without getting feedback and rated by BBFC workers. I also learnt how to correctly edit video and also what all the icons mean when on editing softwares. This will help me in the future when I have to create a product for myself . In the future I should push myself to ask more questions as I am not very confident still with this kind of thing

Today I played around with photoshop and got taught what all the different tools do and how to use them correctly and professionally. This was probably the most fun work we have done so far in my opinion. I will recap in some time to make sure all these details sunk in and if not I will look at how to do them again.

Today I learnt how to take photographs in a professional environment. I learnt many different things including how to focus and zoom correctly as well as how high or low the lighting should be for certain pictures. I didn't know how to all of these rings before today and i was taught them very clearly and i now know how to do it.

Today I learnt what a semiotic is. I found out that it is all signs and things that we see and know in life. I also recapped on connotations and dennotations for example we saw a picture of a snake, the connotation for this was that it was a snake and the dennotation was that it was violent and scary. I already knew what these were so it was just revision. I understood everything that. We spoke about today and I will remember it all for future reference. We also learnt how to set up lighting for a set correctly. I found this interesting as I enjoy doing practicals. I found everything today very easy to understand and remember.

Today I learnt about all the things to look out for during a risk assessment. It was interesting to see all the many different problems you can have during making a filming set. I will look out for these problems in the future when i need to make my own risk assessment.
I also watched some adverts and pointed out all the different shots during them. I will keep this in mind when filming my own adverting campaign

Today I shot a scene from The Room. We used all the different shots we have learnt in the last couple of days. We had a few complications along the way including getting the setting correct and background noise but we eventually found the perfect spot and got all of our filming done there. I enjoyed today a lot.

Today I learnt how to take many different shot types with a camera. These included:
. Tilt
. Dutch tilt
. Pan
. Long shot
. Close up
. Etc.
These skills will help me in later times when I have to film for projects or even just for my own entertainment.
I enjoyed this because it meant I was able to go around campus and take creative photos. I would use most of these when creating my advertising campaign.

I learnt about all the different parts of movies that help the viewer figure out what genre of movie they are watching. These included:
. Props
. Characters
. Setting
