Today, I completed the whole of the evaluation and I have proof-read it so it makes sense. I have finished the first term, event though it has been hard and stressful with other issues, I have managed to completed it professionally and affectively. Throughout this unit, I have worked to a high standard and I have shown my tutor that I can work effectively in a production team. I have also shown that I can conduct a large amount of valid research which I can use to my advantage on making a film / animation. Next term, I'm aiming to carry on with this work ethic and I will make sure that I conduct all of the task to the best of my ability so I can get the highest grade possible.

Today, we got feedback from the client. They said that our final product was very professional but the only improvement that we make is that we add a small conversation between the mother and child when they are inside of the safe. We also gathered information from the Year One students and we collated that information.

Today, I completed a SWOT analysis and also a planning sheet for the report / evaluation which we will be completing tomorrow (8/12/16) and also throughout the christmas break. I have shown that I can work to a high standard of focus without any distractions or disturbances. I have read throughout the SWOT analysis and I understood the requirements for the write up of the three SWOT analysis that I needed to complete.

Diary Log 2 (21/9/16):
In today's lesson, I have learnt all of the different types of stop-motion animation. There are 15 different types of animation which animators use for adverts, film and indents. We also go into group sod 2 - 4 and we researched different types of animation, pioneers, example and the pros and cons of each technique. I also understand why each pioneer of each animation technique use it and what benefits did it make for them and also for the company itself.

Diary Log 3: 22/9/16
Today, I have learnt about the different ways of using play-dough or plasticine in animation. Also, I know on what to do as we met the people who run the company on which we are making the TV ident for. I know the requirements and what is the needed to make them happy with the ident I will be making in a team.

# data[].attributes.body
Today, I completed some research on the clients target audience and I completed some questionnaires which will be compled throughout the week. Also, I annotated my mind map, stating all of the different clients key points and I have noted on my inperational mind map  on what points I need to add and what is important and why.

# data[].attributes.body
In today's lesson, I have created questions for a Vox-Pop which I will be creating throughout the week with family and friends - mainly people who would be suitable in the client's target audience range. Also, I completed a detailed and professional market research, which I went onto Youtube and I looked at adverts / idents which consist of different animation techniques - I explained in a table graph on the pros and cons of each one, why did they use it and how was it effective. I also finished the client target audience research, by looking at the client's brief - which list all of the target audiences / people that the clients are aimed at, I researched each one and I added detailed information about each one - stating the age and social ecumenic status of each target audience's audience.

# data[].attributes.body
In today's lesson, I have completed lots of professional and useful research relating to the clients brief and also the homework that I have been setter to complete by thursday of nest week. The research that I carried out today is the historical research of stop-motion. There, I research the evolution of stop-motion with the help mod wikipedia and youtube to view what each film I spoke about in specific detail to see what they was like. Secondly, I completed research on the educational TV adverts and indents. There, I researched the different types channels such as Boomerang and companies such as O2. I explained in specific detail on what skills did they use and how did it make the ident / advert effective as well as professional. I have also completed a summary of the research that I have carried out so far this week. I explained in detail also using the key terminology about the overall result of the research and also what effect has it been for me to help make my idea more interesting and effective for the client. I also completed an animation experiment today were I tested the wire body construction technique, which will allow me to have flowing movement for the plasticine body and also so remove the head, legs and body to help with the movement of the character without breaking the plasticine.

The areas where I found that I felt confident was with the research, I carried out professional research to help me with the overall planning of the final project, the ident. I have also felt confident with the animation experiment that I carried out. I didn't encounter any problems throughout the research I carried out and also there isn't any improvements that I needed to improve on today.

# data[].attributes.body
In today's lesson, I completed seven more animation experiments; I created an animation plan during the weekend to help show on what I was going to complete during this animation session. I showed the different test and the characters that I created over the weekend with the materials that I bought during the weekend as well. I also completed three separate analysis based on the three different surveys that I completed during the week and weekend. I analysed the character survey, my focus group and my vox-pop. I created graphs to show the different percentages and popularity on the characters throughout the survey. In the focus group analysis, I listened through the audio recording and I talked about what each person said and how was is useful for me. I also done this for the vox-pop analysis, but every person (three people) who completed this survey said similar answers. I don't need to improve anything on what I done well today as I completed all of my targets and I have again worked professionally and affectively.

# data[].attributes.body
In today's lesson, I completed an audience profile which shows all of he audience information that I have gathered throughout the research I have done on the client's target audience. Also, I started a summary of reproach, which I have to talk about all of the research that I have gathered over the past few weeks / month. I will carry on my summary of research for the nest few days before nest TUESDAY.

# data[].attributes.body
In today's lesson, I carried on with the Summary of research and I will be carrying on with this until the 20/10/16, as this is the deadline. I also completed another animation test, which shows the growing process of the tree which will be shown in the ident / advert. The improvement that I would make is that I would purchase more brown plasticine as the tree is a mixture of brown and orange; but yet again, it shows more creativity in the animation.

# data[].attributes.body
Today, I got feedback on my personal statement from Andreas and I typed up a new personal statement with Andreas feedback. Also today, we was put into groups and we was given a number of task to complete. My team is myself, Jake M and Megan and our team name is JMCmation, which is JMC quashed into the word "animation". I will look at the number of links which has been set for homework and I will add the notes and the diary/information log when I watch all six of those links.

In Today's lessons, I created a team mood-board, which shows all of our ideas collaborated together to make a team mood-board. I also created a sheet which has four music tracks from Royalty Free Music, it is a website which helps you to search lots of different types and genres of music. This would help us to see on what pone of the four that I found would be appropriate to remark or to use as a template for our TV ident.

# data[].attributes.body
In today's lesson, I created music on Garage Band on my IPad, I made two different types; one on the keyboard and the other music loop (this is when you play lots of different instruments at once). I then completed an analysis, where I explained one what did I create, how did I create it and how is it applying for our ident. Jake started the storyboard and Megan finished the script. The time management was professional as me, jake and Megan completed all of the tasks that we schedule which was on our production schedule. The area which we need to look into / improve on is the general idea of our animation ident. We have decided to make the animation out of a paper, so it looks like the drawings are moving, by taking one shot and then layering the pieces of paper over each other to make it look like the figure / objects on the piece of paper is moving in a fluent movement. For my homework, I will finsih the ident research and I will research into the paper / cell animation - to help us to get a better idea on what skills / techniques we need to make our paper animation better, more effective and professional.

# data[].attributes.body
In todays lesson, I completed a set sketch which shows on what the bedroom would look like in the safe when the male character walks into the safe. After this, Jake, myself and Megan went to the animation room to conduct live film test to get an idea on what human action would look like; so it would be easier for us to convert those actions in our drawings. We done a variety of test by looking at the different scenes, shots and camera angles on the storyboard. Jake was the camera man; myself, ashley and some other students in the animation room where conducting the different movements and actions which was stated on the storyboard that Jake created. Megan was telling us on what to do by looking at the storyboard. Jake filmed this all of his phone and he edited the shots on iMovie and then uploaded it onto Youtube. Overall, this day went very well as it showed more professional affectedness in our working group and we completed all of the task that we needed to complete today.

# data[].attributes.body
The targets that we set ourselves today were all easy and realistic so that they would deb easy to complete. I was given the task to re-do the logo due to the fact that it looked to compacted and it didn't looked professional. I then went on Photoshop and I made a new logo which looks more appealing and professional. After lunch, Jake went onto the task on the drawings of the characters so we are ready for our animation after the client pitch on the 15/11/2016. jake estimated that our 20 - 30 second ident would need approximately 120 drawings. Megan was placing all of the old drawings that jake created and creating an testing experiment where she uploaded the picture onto her laptop and editing them onto final cut so we can see on what would be the best speed, formate and placement for the animation. Today was a real success as we shown true professional in our work and we work together as a team professionally to get this far before we start animating. We currently do not need to improve on anything at the moment as we are working at a pace / speed / rhythm which we are able to complete all of our targets. The only improvement that I would make on our team is that I think that Jake hasn't realised that we haven't done the audience feedback; such as questionnaires. Bur after speaking to him today about it, he explained to me that we might be doing that tomorrow or we will do that after the half-term as we would have a week left before the pitch.

# data[].attributes.body
Today, I edited the pitch PowerPoint by adding pictures and making it more appealing for our client when we present our pitch to them on the 15/11/16. Also, I started the questionnaire but then Megan took over as Jake then told me to draw up a concept art picture of the safe as a background. I completed the concept art and I posted it onto padlet. Megan completed the survey and we have posted it onto Facebook and shade it between herself, myself and Jake so we have a wide and large range of people answering our survey. We will analysis the results after half-term and then we will add those results onto our pitch PowerPoint. Megan is currently checking over the Powerpoint, making amends and then writing up the pitch script for us to rehearse so we are ready for our pitch on the 15/11/16. Jake made an animation of the son and mother hugging, it was a long process but the results are very positive. There are no improvements for this day. This have given us another day of hard-working in a team in a professional way and this has effected our development positively as we are now almost ready to present our pitch to our clients before the 15/11/16 deadline, we are confident that all of our professional and affective research will make us be the chose ident and our animation will be a success after when we make it before christmas; after the pitch. As I'm the production Manager of the group, I feel that I have worked in a similar as a working professional, like Steven Spielberg; because he works to perfection t make all of his projects a success in a team working environment and I have demonstrated that throughout the past few weeks with the team that I am in for this project. After Half-term, I will continue on with this hard working in the team and we will be ready and up-to-date with everything before we present our idea to our client on the 15/11/16.

Today, I created a proposal plan which professionally shows the ideal plan which I will be using when writing up my proposal. I also started the proposal which I will be completed before the 16th of November.

# data[].attributes.body
Today; myself, Jake and Megan started a new PowerPoint for our team presentation pitch to present to our clients on the 17/11/16. Jake was completing the start of the PowerPoint, Megan was completing the ending and I was completing the middle section of the PowerPoint. The middle section of the PowerPoint is about the research that we have conducted throughout this unit. I will speak about the Audience and the Current Market Research.

# data[].attributes.body
In today's lesson, I created an animation experiment. I came up with the idea of the safe being shown in a panning camera view rather than the safe just in the one image / background and not moving. I though of this ideas as I thought that it would make our animation in the ident more effective and professional as well as creative. I drew 18 - 20 different images of the safe and the start of small and then they come large. I used the graphic drawing technique of two-point-spective to help em to draw the angle of the safe as it is before it turns to be just the front of the safe. It took me some time to complete as it needed to measure all of the drawings one by one to help em to draw the next safe as each one shows the profession of the zoom of the panning camera shot, this technique makes the image more effective and yet appealing towards our target audience.

# data[].attributes.body
Today; myself, Jake and Megan went through the PowerPoint and we read our team notes from the slides that we have created. This was a good point of the day as it helped us to read through they errors that Jake made on the amendments on each of our notes. We demonstrated that we can work professionally as a team and we proved that through today's lesson. Jake explained to Lorraine when we had our team 1 - 1 meeting with her; he explained that we are visually implying the work that Protective Behaviours achieve when they are working with young people and their families. All of us were all affective on setting our own targets as we set targets that were manageable
and easy to complete in one day. I was focused throughout the day and I have also staked focused throughout all of the lessons throughout this unit. There is no homework to be completed as we are starting the production of our unit as we have included and completed everything that is needed for the client's pitch. I have worked professionally and affectively as I have a high standard and professionally work ethic and there are no improvements needed for the way I work in class.

# data[].attributes.body
Today, I was told by Jake that we are starting the production. Jake was creating the animation for the first shot which is the young man walking barefooted. Megan was drawings and scanning the tree roots. I was creating the background panning shot scene of the safe. I drew a large number of shots of the safe in different angles and positions and it completed the overall shot scene of the panning of the safe. This was very affective as it shows that we as a group are very creative and affective in working as a group. This section of the TV ident will grab the target audiences attention as it shows a creative shot of an object and it will make it more creative; therefore, making the Tv ident eye-catching. There is no homework which I need to complete for next lesson. Next lesson, I'm planning to scan the images of the safe onto Photoshop, colour them in and then I will send the images to Jake who will place them onto the file which is where are advert is animated on to. Overall, there are no improvements for today as we have completed all of the tasks that we completed today and we will continue on making professional and high standard progress on our production.

# data[].attributes.body
Today, I have coloured 15 out of the 17 safe drawings in Photoshop. I made the outlines clear and also made all of the colours the same throughout. Jake told me the colours that he wanted the safes to be, the colour that we have chosen is a grey/blue, this will appeal to the target audience as we have used the survey results to help us to choose an appropriate colour for our safe; as 35% chose the colour blue as an appropriate colour. There is no homework needed to be completed. Next lesson, I will be editing drawing 14 as I forgot to remove the background on it. I will also complete the colouring of drawings 16 and 17/ I will then e-mail them to either Jake or Megan and then animate them. The targets that we set ourselves today were easy to complete, I set one task today and that we to colour in the safe drawings (17) in Photoshop. I completed 15 of those drawings. I believe that I have worked at a coefficient rate as I have worked effectively again with my team and we will continue on making progress throughout the rest of our production.

# data[].attributes.body
Today, I completed the two remaining photo hop images of the panning view of the safe. I was going top edit them but jake said that Megan is doing the editing so I sent those files to her. jake then told me to focus of the opening of the door of the safe. I first drew a looking-up view of the safe (image below). I then drew 7 - 8 images of the door opening. I have completed five of those images and I will be completing the rest tomorrow lesson. the colour that I have chose for the safe is a light and dark blue / grey colour. This will appeal towards our target audience as we completed a survey back in October and we got 35% of our answers to bye the colour blue. This will make it appealing towards are target audience in the ident. The targets that I have set myself for today were professional and easy to complete. I have worked in a high standard and professional manor as I have worked to an good rate with no disturbances. next lesson, I will be working on the rest of the safes, I will preparing for our pitch on Thursday at 10:30am and I will also be starting the drawing of the bedroom which the boy will walk into and it will also be inside of the safe.

# data[].attributes.body
Today, I complete the three remianing safes which is opening the door so the child walks into it. I also created the bedroom, one front view and a side view of the bedroom. I made sure that the bedroom is suitable for the target audience. I chose the colour light blue for the walls so it appeals to the target audience as our survey the colour blue was 35%. I also chose colour which are bright so it looks positive and and it makes it apparelling towards the target audience. I have worked professionally as I have completed the task which I set myself for today. Tomorrow is our team pitch, I will be dressed smartly and I will be preparing for my pitch tonight by readying through the script that Jake has created.

# data[].attributes.body
Today, I was given the task of creating the growing sequence of the tree which will grow into the tree which is in the logo. I drew out the full tree so it would be easier for me to create all of the images of the tree growing. What I done was I coloured in the full image of the tree and then erased parts of the tree. When placed together in the right order, it will look like the tree is growing. I created 68 PNG files. The colours that I have chosen for the tree are different shades of brown, this will be appealing and appropriate for our target audience as it is bright and it doesn't make the tree look depressing and dull. It was a long process but I completed the task. Jake has been animating the sequence of the mum and son hugging each other. Magen has been collating all of mine and jakes and her drawings together to make they full animation of our final product. Next lesson, I will be going through the logo information and crewing the creative formate that the information will appear at the end of the animation. Overall, I have worked professionally and effectively. I have worked at an good rate and I haven't been disrupted or disturbed. I will work the same way as I always do next lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
Today, I was given the task of creating the information which will appear at the end of the ident. I edited the log by erasing the background. I then typed up the telephone number, company website and also the address. The font that they are in is Calibre, this is the font which the company told us to type the relevant information in. This will be appealing towards the target audience as it will be easy to read and also it will please the client as this is the font that they asked for. Next lesson, I will be helping Jake and Megan going through the editing of the animation. We will be making sure that the ident flows professionally and it shows all of our creativity and also it shows that we work professionally as a team.

# data[].attributes.body
Today, I was given the task on creating the roof of the safe on when the camera goes upwards to show the tree growing out of the bedroom. I also had to retype of telephone number as there an error and also to change the colour of the words (telephone number and company website) to the colour of the logo. This would be appealing to the company and also the target audience as it will match the companies logo colour and it will also be bright and it would make the words / information clear enough for the target audience to read it. We completed the whole of the animation today, this was a huge achievement for us as it truly shows on what a hardworking team we are. We have completed it a long way before the deadline as well as completing it before all of the other groups. It shows that we are more of a professional working team than the other groups. We have spent the last two / three weeks on the drawing and we have edited for the past week; and the final product is really professional and I'm very happy on the result and very happy on working with Megan and Jake, they have been a pleasure tom work along side with and we are a really good working team. Next lesson; we will be focusing on creating the questions to ask the target audience so we can collate the target audience feedback. We will also be planning for our focus groups and also vox pops so we can get a large range of feedback from a wide range of the target audience.

# data[].attributes.body
Today, I write up two feedback analysis. One was for Tom and the other was for Cliff; these two individuals are tutors in the media department. They both gave us similar feedback but both had different other improvements to givens to make our ident. I then wrote up the focus group questions which ask different areas on what we want to ask, those areas are the animation, colour scheme and whether the message that we are trying to connote is presented clearly within the ident. We then edited the ident to make it more professional with the help with the feedback that we gathered from Tom and Cliff. The overall result is professional and it is very good. We have completed the project. The whole team have worked in a high standard and professional manor. Next lesson, we will go out and we will ask people walking around the college the questions that I have created today.

# data[].attributes.body
Today, I wrote more questions but there where more related to open questions which will help us to get a more expanded idea on what they think of our final piece on this unit. Also, I completed a audience research plan which shows all of the questions in different areas, subjects / topics and also it explains on who we are going to ask and how are we going to do it. Jake, Megan and I completed a survey monkey survey and we have posted it on social media (Facebook) and we will get a large range of response from there. We tried to ask people around the college, but due to an encounter which made jake annoyed and also Megan and Jake not being very confident in asking "strangers", we didn't ask anyone but we will conduct focus groups or vox-pops with embers of our family as jake says that he will be more conformable with that and Megan also agreed with this. This is a good but a bad idea also as it isn't professional and it could affect our final mark due to the fact that we haven't asked people that we don't know; but at the end of the day, at least we will have feedback for our final piece. Next lesson, I will be analysing the box pop which I will be conducting with my brother and I will also be helping Jake and Megan to analyse their feedback. We might also be getting feedback from the Year One students which will also help us (and all of the other groups) to get feedback on our indents / adverts.

# data[].attributes.body
Today, I completed an analysis on a vox-pop which I conducted last night with a member of my family who is suitable for the target audience for our ident / advert and for the client. I explained on what the individual said and how could we use his feedback to make the ident / advert better if we done this unit again. I then completed a document which explains on what did we do with the feedback that we got from Cliff and Tom. I explained on what they said and also on what did we do to our ident with the help of their feedback. Jake conducted an analysis on his survey and we got a large number of responses on his survey. Megan created the credits for the end of the ident / advert, this would make it more appealing to the client and the target audience as they would be able to see and find out on who made the ident / advert and also to see on what roles did each person did. We met the clients brief as our final product meets all of their requirements, it is positive and it shows about on what work do they do to make sure that families are feeling safe in a professional, high standards and target audience friendly manor. The only issue that we had was creating a focus group, this is because Jake and Megan aren't confident. I conducted a vox-pop last night and Jake created a survey. Megan said that she will be conducting a focus group or box-pop with her family over the weekend but we are also getting feedback from the Year One Media Students so we can add that into our feedback. I identified the target audience, my vox-pop individual, Cliff and Tom. We got the feedback from Cliff and Tom last week and I got the feedback from my box-pop individual last night.
