I feel like I am now confident with what I have to do next because I will be developing my research and will be writing up a word document to do with the 10 different songs. The main problem I encounter was that I was struggling to find the 10 songs as a whole. I knew that I was going to struggle gathering some secondary research and I knew this was going to be a problem. This made my confidence disappear because I wasn't too sure on what I have to do. The way I solved this problem was that as soon as this problem was happening, I acted professionally by remaining calm and composed. I was focusing on finding the secondary research I was wanting to find and I eventually did it in the end. The main skill I used in my opinion, was concentration and determination. This was very useful because I used these skills when I was trying to solve a problem. This was very helpful because this gave me confidence.]]> 2017-01-17 14:51:21 UTC https://padlet.com/connorwonnor/hv3bgx9jqhe2/wish/147553492 connorwonnor https://padlet.com/connorwonnor/hv3bgx9jqhe2/wish/148070464 On tuesday, my individual task was to complete finding 10 songs from different era's. This in my opinion was an easy task because I was nearly finished anyways. I used my personal skill such as determination to help me through this day because I needed motivation to help me complete this lesson. I did come across a problem which was a bibliography. I was not too confident on how to make a bibliography but my individual skill helped throughout solving this problem. The use of gathering different research has gave me a good understanding on what different music videos were controversial in the different era's. 

On wednesdays lesson, we had to prepare on padlet, for our pitch next week. In my opinion, I am still nervous about pitching for the audience but I know my confidence will grow even more after this. So, my main task for today was to complete most of my new padlet wall for the pitch. I feel like I did a very good job at completing this because the use of my concentration, gave me the motivation to complete this specific task. The one problem I did come across was picking a song. This took much dedication from myself and secondary research to find the best song that I connect to. The use of secondary research has given me the confidence to individually concentrate and focus on completing any task to a reasonable standard. ]]> 2017-01-19 13:45:54 UTC https://padlet.com/connorwonnor/hv3bgx9jqhe2/wish/148070464 connorwonnor https://padlet.com/connorwonnor/hv3bgx9jqhe2/wish/149554670 On tuesday, the main task I had to complete was to try and finish my academic write up. This is because the deadline is next week and it is my main priority to finish it. The use of my individual skill which is concentration helped me along the way because it allowed my to fully focus on what I wanted to complete and therefore, gives me the boost to complete my work. One problem I did come across was that I was struggling to explain my points in my write up. By reacting calm and professionally, I was able to proof read my work and to fix the problems. In the end, I wasn't able to complete the academic write up which is a major set back because I will now have to complete this in my free time. 

On wednesday, the main preparation was for our pitch to the rest of the class. I was feeling very nervous as I didn't do much preparation but I knew I would get through this in the end. The pitch was about presenting our chosen song and idea for a music video. We would then get scored by the other members in our class and their will be 5 people's songs that will be chosen. I feel like my confidence grown even more after this pitch because I stepped out of my comfort zone which enabled me to use my personal skills to help me through. ]]> 2017-01-26 11:37:16 UTC https://padlet.com/connorwonnor/hv3bgx9jqhe2/wish/149554670 connorwonnor https://padlet.com/connorwonnor/hv3bgx9jqhe2/wish/155697434 On the tuesday, this was the first day of the pre production. We found out who was in our groups for our music video project. For my role of producer, I was given the task of completing the production schedule and the contingency plan by the end of the day. I feel like this day was very productive in my opinion because it allowed me to further develop my individual skills by concentrating at all times. At the end of the day, I was able to complete the two tasks I got given which therefore, made me confident in completing other pre production. 

On the wednesday, The first thing I did as a producer was to write out an agenda and condense a team meeting. This is very useful throughout our production because it allows the team to communicate with each other about any concerns and positives in pre production. Throughout the day, I was being supportive towards the other team members as I was ensuring that their work was going to be complete. I feel like my organisation skills gives me the boost of encouraging the other team members, to push themselves and complete different tasks. This was another productive day of pre production as us as a team, stepped closer to moving onto production. ]]> 2017-02-23 10:23:10 UTC https://padlet.com/connorwonnor/hv3bgx9jqhe2/wish/155697434 connorwonnor https://padlet.com/connorwonnor/hv3bgx9jqhe2/wish/155697484 2017-02-23 10:23:22 UTC https://padlet.com/connorwonnor/hv3bgx9jqhe2/wish/155697484 connorwonnor https://padlet.com/connorwonnor/hv3bgx9jqhe2/wish/155697522 On tuesday, we had our team meeting in the morning as per usual which is very effective in the long term as we can discuss any problems we have in production. The outcome of the team meeting led into the group having different ideas for our plan b because we were let down by our performers. The solution was to draw out rough storyboards for the 3 different ideas we had in mind. I feel like the day went really well as a group because we acted professional when coming to solving problems. We felt confidence was high because we knew our main actor would work really well with our ideas we had in line. 

On wednesday, we again had another team meeting to kick off the day. Today, I was being helpful to the editor and asking around about the equipment we need for filming next tuesday. The way I helped the editor out was by listening to the music video and pick out any concerns and issues. I feel like the team worked really well today due to one person being ill because we were very professional with knowing we were a member down. I also feel like our plan B will work as their should be enough footage for the editor and we are happy with the changes we made even though we had to. Again, the changes we are making is that either having some of the team members in the music video, or just having the main actor on his own. ]]> 2017-02-23 10:23:35 UTC https://padlet.com/connorwonnor/hv3bgx9jqhe2/wish/155697522 connorwonnor https://padlet.com/connorwonnor/hv3bgx9jqhe2/wish/157283259 On tuesday, We were preparing to film for the majority of the day but there was a major set back. We had the news that our main actor was going to film with his own group. From this news, we acted professionally by having a team meeting. I feel like this team meeting was really helpful because we were discussing on the possible solutions. After the team meeting, the solution was to film the stair scenes on wednesday and film in the motion room on thursday. We are also going to be using a smoke machine which can allow us to use our creativity to our advantage. We can have a wide of camera shots showing how dominant the smoke machine can be. I feel like this day was a productive day because we were hit with a huge setback at the start but our team work and dedication to solve the problem, was key for today's lesson. 
On wednesday, our main priority was to film the different stair scenes which was one outside and one inside. So, first things first, we condensed a team meeting. We knew we had one team member absent but we knew our determination would get us through the day. So, before lunch, we booked out equipment for the filming in the afternoon and we were confident that we will get some creative shots. I feel like the filming we did in the afternoon, was very successful because the team worked well with coming up with different shots and we felt happy with the footage we captured today. As a whole, I think with the absence of a team member, we worked well as a team to get the job done to a reasonable standard and we are all happy with the shots we used. The main shots we use were worm eye view because it shows the dominance of the main actor. 
On thursday, we were mainly focussing on filming some scenes in the motion room. From our team meeting, we knew we had a smoke machine which can be very crucial because we can create some very good shots. We had all of our equipment ready and booked for us and we filmed plenty of different shots. We did have a little problem at the start of filming which was that we didn't have any batteries which enabled us to go and use another camera. This wasn't a big dent in our filming because we had a back up plan of using another camera. Overall, I feel today went really well because of the time and effort us as a team put into creating some standout shots to make the audience amused with the shots. I feel like we have enough creative footage to create a reasonable music video and we have the skills of the editor to make the audience shocked and happy with what we have created. ]]> 2017-03-02 11:34:27 UTC https://padlet.com/connorwonnor/hv3bgx9jqhe2/wish/157283259 leila_capocefalo https://padlet.com/connorwonnor/hv3bgx9jqhe2/wish/160741811 Connor this is some of the best work I have seen you write; your logs are clear and provide good insight and examples.
