Week 2

This week, we have learned more about different tourism ads, different types of genre, what genre is and how to use genre for my ad project, and have gained more understanding about semiotics and it's terms. Some problems i had were not connotating and thinking outside of the box for possible answers during discussions so one thing i need to improve is my further thinking skills and creativity. I have learned that there are also 2 aspects which are demographic and psychographic to help me keep track of what to include and filter on my ad project

To do: finalize the 3 tourism HW, improve understanding of movie codes

Week 3:

This week we have learned about different camera angles and shots to enhance our future scenes for our ad project. We have decided what are the best camera shots and angles to use for our ad project and how we would be executing them. We have also got examples of what and how to execute them in order to make scenes according to our expectations.

To do: Start practicing and making rough drafted scenes for our project, and how to make the scenes as appealing and according to our expectations

Week 4:

This week, majority of the time we had to work individually and was given tasks to do more in depth research for our ad project, and got started with out risk assessment for our project layout. We also discovered how to correctly make a storyboard and why it is really important for our project plan for our future scenes. We also started learning about sound on the last ay of this week, discovered what kinds of diegetic and non diegetic sounds to add to our projects' scenes. Maybe even some trans diegetic sound which would attract our audiences curiosity by adding a twist to our project. Road to A*!

To do: Review more about melodic and discorded sounds, in notebook.

Week 5:

This week, we got to continue our storyboard and brainstorm more about the existing rough drafter scenes we've drew as a group. We have also learned about mise-en-scene and editing this week. This will help us be more considerate of what our scenes would look like including the small details from the features of mise-en-scene that we've studied so far. I missed the editing lesson so i had to ask my group what I've missed of what they've learnt so far, and read the slides myself (self studying to catch up). 

To do: update classwork (edit), START FILMING, more research for background music and locations for the streets scene

Week 6:

This week we've learnt more about Genre Theory and two names were introduced to us, who were Steve Neale and David Buckingham. In which they've stated that Genre does not have to always conform to the movie concept as aspects are able to change throughout the year as society's norms and values also change and have developed a lot. We were also introduced to the CCR which is also known as the Creative Critical Reflection which we have to get done this week as it is worth a lot of our grade.

To do: Finalize CCR (pre-production), START FILMING.

Week 7:

This week, we
