Chloe McKendrick - Unit 5&6 by Chloe McKendrick

WEEK 1: MONDAY 14/12/15

mckendrickchloe — 2015-12-14 15:17:08 UTC

My Smart target is to improve my knowledge of market research companies for example, BARB. I also need to improve my confident and time keeping skills.

The MTV research showed me different shows that are shown on the channel. I also learned about the channel itself and the different varieties of times for each.

I learned from my audience research that the main audience are young, most likely students and who are young at heart.

I believe the search involving MTV went well however, I struggled with the OFCOM data.

2. Apply research activities to support solutions to an visual-based problem in creative media production.

Today, I got more research about MTV. I got statistics from BARB and complaints from OFCOM about MTV. I also made a mood board with different key facts and created an audience profile which found that the majority was young and open to explicit contents. I researched the presenter and the different shows. I now feel more comfortable knowing more about MTV. I also completed my bibliography. I uploaded all my work so far to Blendspace.

WEEK 3: MONDAY 11/01/16

Targets:

1. Analyse the requirements and parameters of an audio-based problem in creative media production.

2. Analyse the requirements and parameters of a visual-based problem in creative media production.

Today, I completed most of the work given out. I identified my strengths and weaknesses in key jobs with my most likely job being the director/producer or presenter/researcher but not editor as I'm pretty terrible at editing all together. I have also looked at equipment and came up with my questions for my online survey and focus group. I created my online survey and sent it out to a variety of different people. As I wrote everything down in class on a notepad, tonight I will type it up and upload to Blendspace.

Targets:

1. Analyse the requirements and parameters of an audio-based problem in creative media production.

2. Analyse the requirements and parameters of a visual-based problem in creative media production.

Today, I uploaded all of my work to Blendspace and completed the structure sheet, identifying different structures for example, 'in their own words.' I also started the individual project proposal which I need to finish at home due to having to pop to marketing. I also collected my primary research from my survey. I also identified key pieces of work that I have to go home and finish.

SS Feedback - 17/01/16

sstacey1 — 2016-01-17 11:23:42 UTC

You have good explanations of tasks but you need to develop a reflection of what went well/what didn't go well and how you plan to improve. Set SMART targets and consider the job roles for your group. Would you prefer to undertake a role you rate yourself a 5/5 or push yourself to develop a weaker area?

An excellent start to the term.

mckendrickchloe — 2016-01-19 11:24:22 UTC

Targets:

1. Analyse the requirements and parameters of an audio-based problems in creative media production.

2. Analyse the requirements and parameters of a visual-based problem in creative media production

Daily Targets:

1. Identify the key pre-production documents and the key elements required to meet near professional standards. (Risk assessment, production schedule, contingency plans, storyboard, script and minute of meeting.)

Today, we got ourselves into our groups and identified what roles we are going to take on. I decided to take on the role of researcher and presenter, Mia is the editor, Charlie is the producer and director, lastly, Devon is the cameraperson. We each did a pitch of our idea for the segment before voting for the best. We then decided that Charlie's pitch and idea was the best and started to discuss the finalized idea. Our idea is going to be based on Celebrity Big Brother and loosely based on David Bowie. We then decided on what we was going to do for next lesson.

Targets:

1. Demostrate effective teamwork in pitching concept for news segment and contribution to team meetings.

Today, I finished the last of the presentation and practiced our pitch together. We did our speech in-front of Sophie and answered the questions. I then found the music needed for our segment and is downloading it when I get home. I also had to change the script slightly to include some filming outside. We decided on interview a few members of the public about their opinions on the Celebrity Big Brother housemates 2016.

WEEK 8/MONDAY 22/02/16

mckendrickchloe — 2016-02-23 11:28:27 UTC

Learning Objective:

Targets:

Today, I finished my individual storyboard. We also started our filming for our segment. We did have some troubles but managed to solve them all. We didn't have the green screen we was prepared for but luckily, I found an image and projected it on the board to use instead. There was a few distractions, for example, Karen's iPad and people walking in. We had to reshoot these scenes.

WEEK 8/TUESDAY 23/02/16

mckendrickchloe — 2016-02-23 11:35:05 UTC

Learning Objective: Be able to use an integrated approach to audio-based/visual-based creative media problem solving and production.

Target:
1. Demonstrate effective team work in production and contribution of team meetings.
2. Develop an understanding of post production techniques in relation to production.

Today, we had a brief team meeting and discussed the previous day's events and reflect on the positives but also negatives. We assigned different tasks. Charlie and I focused on finding the correct links for each of the paragraph segments. We then went through the filming clips we did the previous day and found out that it was difficult to see me in each of them due to the green-screen and no lights. We also decided that the clips didn't look professional. After a long discussion, we decided that we needed to reshoot. The Motion Room was already booked, so we was given the opportunity to use the TV Studio in the University building. We spend the majority of the afternoon re-filming but didn't manage to complete it due to the problems with the camera turning blurry, the amount of muck ups and the time we had.

WEEK 9/MONDAY 29/02/16

mckendrickchloe — 2016-02-29 18:59:01 UTC

Learning Objective:

Target:

Today, we had a quick discussion about what we had to do to complete the filming by the five o'clock deadline. We decided that we needed to use the TV Studio again and reshoot from the beginning. Sophie managed to find us a slot before lunch. As we was used to now setting up the equipment and I was more comfortable with the script, it didn't take us long to complete the shooting indoors. We had another brief meeting afterwards, getting a list of what we needed to help edit tomorrow. I have to get the music and save to my memory stick. We got the equipment from the other groups to film outside, again it didn't take long as we watched the interviews to look natural as possible, even if there was a little bit of giggling.

WEEK 9/TUESDAY 01/03/16

mckendrickchloe — 2016-03-04 23:44:01 UTC

Learning Objective:

Target:

Today, was the big editing day. Charlie and I recollected the clips of the Celebrity Big Brother scenes needed for our segment. We downloaded each of the scenes from YouTube before transferring them to the editing software account on the Macs. Charlie and I used Final Cut to trim down each scene to the amount of seconds we needed from each. This clips varied from scenes of Jeremy McConnell's and Stephanie Davis' relationship to Jonathon Cheban's exit. It took us a while to realise how the software worked and what we needed to do to crop down each image but we soon worked it out with our own knowledge and also a bit of Sophie's! While Charlie and I were sorting the clips out, Mia was beginning to piece bit by bit together for our final segment and Devon was sorting out the audio which was on her mobile phone. The music I had downloaded the previous night didn't seem good enough but we're hopefully going to use the Celebrity Big Brother theme music that I also found. I also picked out Demi Lovato's song Confident as the backing song behind it as the song was very upbeat and matched the young target audience of 12-34.

WEEK 10/MONDAY 07/03/16
