This is my Weekly Progress + Plan for Comp 1
Week 1:
This week I got into my group and I think this time it will be great since we have big ideas that sound vary promising and Arnold seems to know his way around this, I'm also vary exited for this particular project since it's something that allows a lot more creativity and freedom in terms of audience and things you can show and do. This week I also studied and researched about media Industries and stages that a media product goes through like Producer, Distributor and Exhibitor which it basically the 3 stages of production in business terms
Week 2:
This week we didn't really do that much but we mostly hone in on what genre we're gonna do and what conventions of that genre/sub genre does it have what does it subvert and what technical elements does it use to portray characters.
Week 3:
This week did research about what topic/genre our movie project is gonna be by doing 2 big researches and 6 small researches. it was a good time watching movies. wooo hooo movies.... Yeah Science!
Week 4:
This week we made the statement of intent and my group did a serviceable job doing so covering a lot of ground in the process but we need too iron some edges out. we also learned about synergies which is when 2 media companies collaborate to the benefit of each other. and used the example of James bond
Week 5:
This week we worked on the planning of our movie intro as in screen play which we are going to work on in the future as it is not as necessary as per say script and storyboard which is where we are putting most of our effort on at this moment \
Week 6:
This week we have been having project lessons all week so that we can finish our short opening for a movie and everything that has to be done before that like storyboard which is my job filming and editing which is arnolds job and shooting scout which is panji and Sagara is behind the scenes and emotional support. The deadline is closing in and I'm quite worried about that because we don't really have anything with substance that isn't just planning to show
Week 7:
This week we just do a boat load of project lessons because our progress wasn't as expected
This is Semester 2
Week 1:
This week had an emphasis on editing, the whole class had a task about recreating a movie scene my group decided on recreating a scene from the movie fight club
Week 2:
We had a task about continuity editing where the teacher gave us a bunch of clips and tasked us too make a continuity editing of those clips in pairs me and my teammate in my opinion we did great, this week our group was also tasked with making a film schedule
Week 3:
this week we did a lot of things including a lot of theory lessons learning theories from feminist from feminists like van zoonen, mervey and butler arguing about female representation in media and the effects of the male dominated media industry on public consciousness. We also learned about audience theories like cultivation theory, reception theory, desensitization theory and social learning theory
Week 4:
This week we only had 1 lesson which was a project lesson where we worked on editing the video and working on the typeface and font of the movie for more imbedded meaning and goodie goodie, where me and sagara worked on the typeface and font for the majority of the time and panji was working on behind the scenes and arnold was working on editing
Week 5:
Week 5 was a national holiday for the whole week, I did some of the work at home
Week 6:
This week some was online since there were difficult weather conditions this is where we started to work on our CCR 1 and 2 online through ZOOM and after the school opened again we started to make the google forum for audience feedback to hone in on what we need improving and also to finalize the title and font of our movie
Week 7:
This week we started to work on CCR 3 and 4 while also doing our first mock test in preparation for the exams which in my opinion I think I did pretty good for a first try idk I'll see when the scores are out, the CCRs are vary important to get done at least the mock test proved to be difficult to manage whole also trying to finish our blog with our final product still being in development
Week 8:
This week I only got Thursday to work on stuff since I had to go to a funeral in my village and missed 3 days and a mock test I have to quickly work on my blog and CCRs but arnold who is our editor is still working on editing the video he says it'll be done this week
Week 9:
This week was very eventful to say the least as all the cans that we were kicking down the road, we are now feeling the effects of as arnold our editor and director failed to meet deadlines which prevented us from progressing through our CCRs and when he did finish it our teacher said this shit ass (an over exaggeration), and we have to redo a lot of the clips we will try shooting after, we also have lots of mock tests to do also which compounded our misfortune.
Week 10: DEADLINE DUN! DUN!! DUN!!!
DEAD LINE WEEK this was a huge event since for the last week me and 2 of my teammates got together and pick ourselves up by our bootstraps, and to GET IT DONE. I was delegated to main editor because of circumstance, and me and 2 of my teammates made more progress within this 1 week then we did in 4+ months, which we were really proud of by our hard work, we even got done our ccrs which was a miracle and gave us a huge sigh of relief.
