Here is my weekly progress for my new project
Term 2
Week 1: this week i started researching about the industry, i also learned about the distribution of different films and their genres. i also started to do my blog for 'comp 1' i started making new blog posts and researching about thriller films for this project. i missed out two lessons of this week which was about the industry, therefore i need to catch up and learn more about it.
Week 2: this week i stared my research about thriller movies. i researched about the genre conventions of thriller movies and how different thriller movies conform or subvert to the genre conventions. I also started to watch different thriller movies; their openings and trailers. I hope that by doing this research i can have a clear visualization of what my project in going to look like
Week 3: this week i continued my research about thriller film openings. I started to watch different thriller film openings and analyse the technical elements that were used. I started doing my 2 big researches and 6 small researches. my group then started to share our ideas for our film opening. we then made a general idea of what our film opening would be like.
Week 4: this week i continued and finished my research and started to learn more about synergy and how companies can benefit each other by doing that. i did a few researches in class about synergy. my group also started to do the statement of intent. we assigned the tasks from the statement of intent to each member. we also developed our plan for our project
Week 5: this week we started to do our storyboard, we watched a video on how to make a proper storyboard for our project. the video was very helpful as it outlined the things we need to include to make a proper storyboard. firstly we made a rough draft of our storyboard, then we started to finalize our storyboard. we also started to create the script and screenplay.
Week 6: this whole week we used the lessons to continue our project, we continued our storyboard and the script and screenplay, also our class made a screen test where each one of us practiced to act out different lines. My teacher then gave me and the whole class a check list of what our blog should include. this is very helpful for me to keep track on what i need to do and finish.
Week 7: this week we continued finishing our blog posts, such as the storyboard, risk assessments, and others, my group assigned each member to do different tasks to finish things quicker
Reflection: this weekly progress has helped me recall the things i have did and learned in the past lessons, it also helps me keep track of my progress and what ive been doing the past weeks. without the weekly reflection i would have forgotten many things we did in the class.
Term 3
this is my next term is school which i will start back at week 1
Week 1: this week i made a project with my group to recreate a thriller film scene, overall it was a fun and new experience, we practice on how to replicate a scene and create a storyboard from the scene.
Week 2: this week i learned about editing and continuity editing, i tried to edit with several scenes my teacher provided me with. we also learned about 4 new theories which were cultivation theory, desensitation theory, social learning theory and reception theory, we also learned about the different types of dominant reading and how different people perceive different media texts.
Week 3: this week we learned about new theories which were representation theories, Judith Butler theory, Laura Mulvey theory and Lisbet Van Zoonen theory. it was little overwhelming with all the new theories that we learned but ill try to understand them more . Me and my group finished filming this week and now we have to rearrange everything and start editing and creating blog posts about them
Week 4: this week there were no media lessons because of the Chinese New Year holiday
Week 5: This week we started doing the audience research, we made a questionnaire asking questions about our current progress, we asked problems that could be fixed
Week 6: Due to the extreme weather conditions, our school decided that our lessons should be held online. we did two lessons online and we learned about how to create our CCR. However, it was very hard to concentrate during the online classes because there are many distractions at home.
Week 7: This week we did a mock test to prepare for our exams, then we continued to do our CCR's and we started to do CCR 3 and 4, we also discussed about the processes of pre-production, production and post-productions and the hardware, software and online programmes we used for our project
Week 8: This week we checked our first mock test results, we did this so we could review our answers and see our mistakes so we can do better in the next mock, the next day we had our 2nd mock test, then we also had a project lesson to continue or missing blogs, CCR and final project
Week 9: This week we had our last mock test and for the rest of the sessions we had project lessons where we completed missing blogs and continued editing and finishing our CCR
Week 10: we had the whole week to finish our CCRs, blog posts and final product for the submission. Even though i tried to do some of the CCR weeks before, i still ended up staying up late to finish my CCR. Next time i will manage my time better to not stress out.
Reflection: by creating a weekly progress, this helped me keep track of my progress and what i did the past weeks, it helped me remember lessons and classworks we did and what i learned overall.
