Here is my weekly progress and plan for my project
Week 1
This week we've set up our new blogs for our new project which is the film opening which will be ongoing for the next two terms. I'm excited and can't wait to be filming and producing more scenes again but a bit worried about the pre production steps and if i cant ace any parts of my blog perfectly like i did in my previous project. This week, we've learnt more about the film industry and about the stages of production which are Production, Distribution, and Exhibition which will help me do more research about these types of industries do to help me gain more knowledge for my following projects and company inspirations for my film opening, or even what to do in the future when working along with these industries.
Week 2
The first day of week 2, today we started our project lesson with a research into the genre me and my group have chosen which was Thriller. I have discovered that there are a lot of interesting thriller movies out there that i can research to, my brain has refresh after doing a lot more work on genre conventions which give me and idea of what to add onto my project in order to conform to the genre conventions and make the project result to an a. We have learnt that there are so much research to do and it does in fact have a huge impact on our grade which means we would have to focus alot more on that
Week 3
In this week, we did a bit more in depth research on our genres for our film opening project, we had a task to do two big researches and 6 more smaller ones so that we would be able to know more aspects of our genre conventions from different movies, and get ideas for subverting plots for our opening. We did more digging for niche thriller movies and what were realistic for us to generate for this project.
Week 4
In this week, we have started giving out roles for the things we have to do each as part of the pre production process of our project. We also gained more information through smaller researches about influence and have started our statement of intent. And have also learned more theory on how companies have vertical and horizontal integration to which vertical integration is when a media company owns parts of all stages of the production and horizontal integration is when a media company owns several parts from one stage of production (production, distribution or exhibition)
Week 5
The first day of this week we learned more about making a proper screenplay and storyboard for our filming project. Our teacher gave us a video on how to properly create a storyboard which has clearly developed on how we will be aiming to fix in the future as well as on how to properly construct a screenplay along with it's margins and structures in order for us to have a clear vision for our scenes to pair with the newly detailed storyboard complete with the camera angles and more.
Week 6
We had project lessons the entire week which meant that we were on our blogs on all of our lesson time to finalize and clear up parts of our blog before the deadline just to get our pre production stages done.
Week 7
In this week, we still had project lessons where we are given time to finalize our blogposts, however we also had exam prep lessons where our teacher reviews on what we should or shouldn't do during the exams, as well as practices to do during class.
Self reflection:
I believe this blog had been useful for me as this reminds me of what we've learnt the entire term, and helps me find important data and terms that i may need to review from that specific week. I've seen signs of improvement through my weekly progress and is enjoying it so far. Hoping for the best.
Term 3
Week 1
This week he had a mini project on scene recreation and we got to practice more on how to do so as we gave each other roles on what to be in charge of and I was in charge of making the blogpost template. We also learned two new theories which are New Media and Technological convergence.
Week 2
This week we got to learn more about edit and started practicing on how continuous editing (simple ones), as well as learning about more new theories such as the Cultivation theory, Desensitisation Theory, Social Learning theory, as well as the Reception Theory. We also learned about dominant readings as it will be important for us when producing media content.
