Losing Priority & Taking Charge

Today our Year 13 groups lose priority over the equipment as the Year 12's will need it to begin their productions. As a group we were a little bit worried that we would not be able to get our work done when as we had to give up the computer for the Year 12's but we managed to work out a schedule in which 2 members of our group would come up to the media room during their free time and edit the Documentary and the other 2 members would come up at a different time to be able to get on with our Evaluation which also needs to be looked at.

Miss had put me in charge of making sure that the information for our Evaluation is being put together and that I am filming what need to add to it to answer the Evaluation Questions in the Syllabus. I was more than happy to take on this role as I have been feeling left out of the group and taking control of the Evaluation would let me be part of the decision making but also allow me to construct the Evaluation in a creative way, but of course I would not be doing it alone I am always running my ideas past the other members of my group and asking them for their input also, because the only way we will get both our Documentary and Evaluation finished is if we work together as a group.

Holiday Editing

The 22 & 23/02/11 are two dates in which Miss has given us during the half-term to be able to come into school and keep working on our Documentary before our 3rd Draft DEADLINE. Unfortunately on the weekend leading up to these dates and I was ill and took a very bad turn on that week so I was unable to attend but from the changes my group has shown me the following week, my absence was not a problem.

Documentary - Third Draft

Today is the DEADLINE for our 3rd Draft and we are feeling pretty confident about what we have done, we know there are a few things that need to be added or changed but tomorrow we are getting the chance to come in and miss will be able to tell us if there are any major as well as minor changes that she would recommend.

The feedback we got for this draft were;

WWW
Good improvements from our first & second draft.
But could still be improved in certain areas - just look over and see what could be missing.

EBI
The ident was too long/ it did not get to the point quick enough on the information of the Documentary.
The typing shots need to change angle or be removed all together.

Documentary - Second Draft

After showing our 2nd Draft to our Target Audience, this was their response;

WWW
The ident we used was good.
Our sop start animation.
and the use of our Timeline.

EBI
It as incomplete.
It was too short (under the 5minute expected).
No backing music - made it boring & was repetitive.
The music comes in at the wrong time resulting in a lack of cordination with the images & sound.
The ethnographic was long & repetitive.
The presenter came in far too late.
