Today we were hoping to cart on editing our ebook but as we were in a room that didn't have Final Cut Pro on it and there were no spare macs in the other room we couldn't do it has put us behind on our production schedule. I finished putting the audio together which took longer than I expected and was a bit frustrating. Jayne finished on of the sheets we forgot the finish. There wasn't anything we needed to do today that wasn't editing so we could t get a lot done today so we are going to work extra had and fast in the next couple of days or we aren't going to finish in time forge deadline as we also have to do a evaluation and get feedback as well, so me and Jayne are going to split the work over two computers so we can get it all done in time.

Today was similar to yesterday, we just finished editing the fist scene together, we added in the bowl breaking and the mum walking onto the screen. We was worried at the beginning because when we went onto finale cut pro the files were missing, we didn't know what to do at first but then we found out that we just had to re-import the files onto finale cut. Once we finished editing the first two scenes we went onto editing the audio but we came to a problem that the narration we recorded was missing to we had to go and film it agin which set us back again because we also spent time looking at SD cards to see if we could find it. Next week we are just carrying on editing. I'm a bit worried we aren't going to be able to finish it in time but we are thinking of splitting the work so we both do so thing on our computers and add it to one in the end.

Today we finally got to start editing our ebook together. We went on Jayne's computer and used finale cut pro. We started with editing the cover and the first scene together, we had to make it zoom into a house and the trees and bushes move out of the way. At first we had some trouble with how to do it using the key frames we looked up how to do it first then we asked Dave to show use, he helped us do one and them we managed to do the others and it ended up going really well. After lunch we started editing together the second scene were the characters first appear, they had to run around on the screen so we used key frames again to do that. We found it a bit tricky at first and it wasn't going how we wanted it to but we managed to do it in the end. Overall I think today has gone well and we've got quite a bit of the first two scenes done. As we go along I know we will get better at using finale cut pro and get faster at doing it so I think we will have it done In time

Today we couldn't do much as we were in a different room that didn't have the editing software that we wanted on it so we could do any editing which was the main thing we needed to do. We edited our production schedule as we were behind on it as making the characters tool a lot longer then we thought. We also filmed some more audio because we missed a couple of lines form The script but it did take a while because our equipment wouldn't work properly at first it was because they did t have any batteries then we found out that it was because the tascam had the wrong settings but Dave helped us change and we got them. To work. Tomorrow we are going to be editing

Today we didn't acutely do that much and we kind of drifted from our production schedule. I was finishing the last character that we had to add characters to while Jayne finishd the last background we needed. Doing al, if this actually took longer than we thought it would so we couldn't much other stuff done. We did manage to make a list of all the sound s we need for Foley, like a ballon popping and a plate smashing. We do have to buy a few things, but we are going to get the, from Poundland so they won't cost much

Today I had to finish drawing one character while Jayne stated to use photoshop to add colour using different textures to he characters. We ended wo doing it all day and got most of them done, it was quite easy to do because we were just clicking the same things over and over agin and it helped that Dave had shown us how to do it a couple of weeks ago

# data[].attributes.body
Today we stated to work on drawing our characters which I did and creating the backgrounds which Jayne did. I used pictures online, and traced a threw dietauls for the character. I found it easy to draw the front view of the character but the side views were the hardest because I just wasn't t good at getting the character to look how it's supposed to sideways. We also wrote up the production schedule for each day. We are going to try to stick by it as much as we can

Today we worked on our script and made some changes to make it better and add more scenes so our story was longer. We ran went on doing our story mapping. We split it up between us so I did some scenes and Jayne did the over. Overall it went well it was just paperwork.

today we got put into our production pairs for our e-books. me and partner talked about some ideas that we had, we both had some really good story ideas, but we decided on a story about always telling the truth so children will learn something out of it. we have sorted out the characters and the backgrounds we will be using and written up a brief outline of the story.

today was our last practical before we start our e-books. we practiced vocals, we did some vocal warm ups and tongue twisters, and takes about how you should change the tone of your voice to match how you want the character to sound. Then we had to get into groups and re-record the dialogue in a scene, my group choose a scene from beauty and the beast. we had to practice doing different voices to fit different characters. it was quite easy and went well, i spoke to voices and did find it a bit hard to make my voice sound different but in the end it sounded good. after lunch we did a kahoot on the topics we learnt on animation let week, i did forget some details but i did okay. we were then editing together the scene we re-filmed.

Today we worked on primary research. ina group we had to go to the town and ask peolpe questions that would help us with creating our e-books, we had questions like 'what was your favourite book when you were little?' and 'what was your age?' overall my group got 10 answers from people of different ages, the majority was female. the answers we got were helpful and gives me an insight of what some one who like to read in a book, and what type of characters they may like, it seemed that the majority of the peoples answers were that they wnated to see talking animals who cause trouble. after we finished collecting answers we had to write up a summary of our findings. the answers i got will contribute to when i make my e-book and it was helpful.

In tutorial, we had to create mind maps. we had to look up apprenticeships, jobs, university courses and degrees to do with media and write down where they were and what subject in media they were to do with. after tutorial we had to go to a library and find three children books, and write what they were about, what font they had and what illustrations they used. we did this to help get ideas for our own children's books, so we can make them so the target audience will like them.

Today we worked on different animation techniques using final cut, photoshop and after affects. First we had to make a picture of a duck swim across a pond, I found this one very hard because I couldn't get it to work, I knew how to do it, but I just couldn't get it to work, I got showed how to do it the. I was able to do it for my self. The next thing we had to do was make a lion walk across a screen using two different images of it, at first I had no clue what to do and was very confused, I started looking at other people's computers and seeing how they were doing it, and in the end it managed to do it all, it turned out that it was quite easy to do.

Today we did secondary research for our e-books. we looked at three other e-books and wrote down details down about them, like the target audience, sounds, narrative, the animation and colours. we had to create a mind map for the information we found.

Today we worked on a swot for making the e-books, it was our strengths and weaknesses, I said about how I'm good at communicating in a team, good at researching and have basic Photoshop skills and some weaknesses were that I don't proof read my work, I'm do t know how to edit together an animation.
After lunch we did an easy on the project proposal for the e-books using a mind map we did earlier in the week.

At the start of the day we did garbage bands using an app on our iPads. We had to try and create a track that could be used for a children's advert. It was confusing at first to use, I managed to get a song in the end using a guitar, grand piano, and drums. It didn't really sound like a chirkdens theme tune more like an country soung but it was my first time doi g it and I'll hopefully do better next time. Later on in the day we had to draw characters that children would like, I drew a cartoon version of Snow White we then had to put it onto photoshop and add textures to it. Mine turned out reall well >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Today we finished our dubbing scene for the Peppa pig scene and did the foley for the matrix scene. in my group we found it a bit tricky to make the sounds we needed some were easy like for the sound of the man ripping open a package we used the sound of paper ripping but sone others were a bit harder to find. when we went on to editing the scenes i did the dubbing one, we found that we we filmed us talking we said the line to fast so we couldn't sync it with the clip very well as we stopped talking before the characters mouth stopped moving. later on we used photoshop to learn how to make turn a background look like a cartoon, this will help us when we make our e-books.
