Weekly progress + plan

 this blog post contains the weekly progress and plan for my documentary project

Week 2: during week 2 we started to do research about different crime documentaries, we watched some intros of documentaries in class and wrote about what we think will happen and what connotations does it have to crime documentaries. we also started doing our blogs, we added the brief, team, weekly progress and research blog.

Week 3: this week we continued the research and watched more documentaries, i really enjoyed watching the documentaries being played in class and it made me want to continue watching to find out what happens next. we also started doing the statement of intent with my group and we brainstormed all the possible ideas we could do to make our documentary. we also learned about a new theory for media regulation and we discussed about how the media can be mislead or manipulated by consumers or large media companies, we also did mini debates discussing about the different topics of media regulation. 

Week 4: this week we started to do our story board for our documentary project, first we made a list of the flow of our documentary opening. then we started to brainstorm about the different scenes for our project, we were given two storyboards to make, one was a graded final storyboard and the other one was a rough draft of what our documentary is going to look like. then i also started to do the location scout and risk assessment. i thought about all the possible strengths, weaknesses and potential problems on filming in the location, i also thought of alternatives if there are any problems that lead us to not being able to film in the original location. then we also started doing the script. our teacher allowed us to use AI to brainstorm about the possible sayings and dialog of the documentary. as a group we split tasks on who does what task and i get to do the location scout and risk assessment.
