Diary entries

This week we made a prezi which we then presented in class. This prezi included information about our audience, our proposal and what the story is truing to tell. It also included our mood board which included images associated with our story. We also showed our logo which we may have to re-design as it needs to be more eye catching so it is more noticeable.

22/11/12

This week I made the layout for the story and I wrote it above. Our group then gave each other tasks to complete and my task was to do the storyboard. I started the storyboard and completed some of the pictures. The other people in my group completed the genre and mood of the film and the risk assessment. We also done the shooting schedule and agreed on a date to start filming our short 1 min film.

29/11/12
This week I finished off the storyboard and put it on my blog. I then shared it with the rest of my group and they gave me their work which included the mise-en-scene, risk assessment and the shooting schedule. We then discussed the location for our one minute film and when we are ready to start shooting.

6/12/12
We looked at example blogs to see how to structure our blogs. This gave me the idea of adding images to some of my work and also gave me the idea of separating my work in to paragraphs to make it look less than an essay and more easier to read

13/12/12
This week I added some of the work that was previously not on my blog such as the prezi to do with the camera shots and angles.

20/12/12
I added the last things that were needed on my blogger and finished off anything that was left to work on. I also checked off everything that was on my checklist to make sure everyhthing is completed.

10/01/13
This week we made sure everyhting was completed on pre production work for our single camera production. We also finally solved the running disputes that were going through our group to do with the logo as we finally completed it. This problem was solved as we all agreed with the new style.

17/01/13
For the first two lessons of this week I had an exam which meant that I was not there when my group started to film the introduction scenes to the single camera production. However I was able to join in to the editing of the footage after my exam.

24/01/13
In this week my group started the filming for the single camera production. We were also able to finish the production in this week also. My group had to walk from the school to our shooting areas where we filmed the footage that we needed to make the production. When we came back we were able to add the footage to the previous ones that we had filmed.

31/01/13
This week we edited all the filming that we done for our single camera production. We added all the clips that were needed and croped them to the releavent bits. We also needed to record some audio bits which we did not have time to add that week.

07/02/13
We finished off the last bits of editing this week. This included adding the audio bits that we made last week and finished off any outstanding work on the blogger.

The plot of our story is:

Beginning - After a party, the host is relaxing after a crazy night and is watching TV. He gets a phone call and when  which scares him as it is late at night. He walks around his house scared looking around like he is worried.

Middle - The doorbell rings and he is scared. He gets a weapon and slowly walks to his door and opens it thinking it is the person who threatened him on his phone. When he opens it he finds a little child who is trick treating.

End - He recognises the kid and is confused. He then goes to give the kid some sweets when he is pranked by the kid and then his friends come running out revealing it all to be a prank.

The story follows todorovs theory which is equilibrium. It starts of with a normal state when the main character is relaxing, and then it goes bad when he receives the phone call and finally it turns good again when the whole thing is shown to be a prank.
