This is my weekly progress
Week 2:
- This week we got in our group through a very unorthodox method and this time where we're making a crime documentary opening, and Mr. Nick mixed us all up to different groups to incentivize creativity adaptation and socialization, the effectiveness of this sort of arrangement is debatable, thank fully I had one person in my group who I knew and have some reprieve.
- this weeks theory lesson was about media regulation and it's effects on information and the lack there of
Week 3:
- This week me and my group got to work with our statement of intent laying the building block to build upon our intro to our crime documentary, I suggested to name it YOU for dramatic effect and to emphasize the rivalry within the documentary but I ultimately decided against it through further notice, we have in my opinion need a lot more time to discuss this sort of topic to better refine our vision for this project, as I have took it upon myself to be the groups editor which I am very exited for
- this weeks theory lesson was about Livingstone and Lunt all bout media regulation and it's difficulties
we had to get in pairs not the fruit, and debate about certain points and are gives prompts to argue for and against me and my partner absolutely destroyed everyone. The case study was about the Southport stabbings
Week 4:
- This week our roles for the project was decided and I was eagerly exited to be the groups editor as I really wanted to improve on that department and I think this is a great opportunity to do so. now we're on storyboarding and my other teammates are tasked with finishing that and the script also. This weeks theory lesson centered around Power and the media with discussions about Elon Musk and his acquisition of X formerly known as twitter, and the impact that had on the wider online social media landscape. Mr. Nick has graciously gave us the keys to the kingdom with the permitted use of AI in our work, not the whole thing and we still needed to ask for permission but it is still a good thing. I personally didn't use AI only very sporadically and even then quite rarely but I think this is a great opportunity to use and be familiar with a technology that has been widely denounced as the future.
Week 5:
- This weeks project lesson we did storyboarding and the spread of ideas which I think was very productive we were all very exited about showing off ideas I particularly shared a lot where my teammates agreed with my thoughts which was wonderful, glad we're all on the same page we also talked about our filming schedule hopefully we can deliver on the agreed deadlines. This weeks theory lesson was delegated to the research and analysis of how the media portrays events and how they influence opinions surrounding those events. The case study mr gave us was about Jessica Wongso the coffee killer, we watched a documentary about it and analyzed how the victim the parents of the victim and the perpetrator was shown. We also used AI to help answer a Cambridge exam question relating to power and the media.
Week 6:
- This week my group did CR prep to prepare for the essay we're gonna make about our documentary. We also started filming which was a relief since I'm gonna start editing which is very good. We also had a lesson discussing about media regulation again we wrote on our books a lot and tried to make an alternate future dystopian/utopia based on the prompts and questions Mr. gave us which was very jarring since it has been way too long since I or anyone wrote about anything fictional which was quite the throwback I must say I had fun making it.
Week 7:
- This week we just had a project lesson as mr stated that we wont have enough time for it on Wednesday or Thursday, this week I learned a lot about how to format and what to include in my editing blog post as I'm the designated editor, he told me about how to include his various feedbacks and how to address them and how to show that changed in the project and it was very helpful information.
Week 8:
- This week was hectic as this week I finished the video even though it didn't fit the requirement of the 3 minute minimum which was devastating but at this point where there is literally not other footage I can edit in the video as my group didn't record that much, all I can do now is focus on what I can do and that is too finish my editing blog, copy the thumbnail blog from Bams and complete my CR, which I did.
