 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.  

this is my next term is school which i will start back at week 1

Term 3 

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.
