This week we looked at S-log with Attila (A digital technique that preserves details in both shadows and highlights). Went over how to produce a news project with Nargess. We also took a look at the structure and timings of a news show and applied it to our plans.

This week was mainly spent looking at my previous units and putting the final products for Unit 11 up on my website.

Prior to this week I worked closely with Gareth and Adam to produce the first and final edit of the Top Gear intro. Attila took us through deep focus and shallow focus which made me look at a few shots a bit differently. Nargess introduced us to unit 10 and what we have to do. Nick made us create a presentation about the capitol building riots and Simon gave us time to brainstorm ideas for our news show. We chose to do a Dnd news show based on real events like covid and riots.

This week was mainly spent winding down for the holidays and playing kahoots about film. I also finished my research paper and the final edit for the promotional video.

I was kept home again this week, so I decided to get to work with creating the first edit of the promotional video. I think this turned out well and I have sent it out to the rest of my group for feedback. Adam also created most of the silhouettes for the intro and Charlie did a test recording of the voiceover.

This week we covered diegetic sound with Attila, cover letters with Nargess and went over Ucas with Simon. Nick also introduced us to the project of re-creating a tv/film intro. After A group discussion we decided to do the season 18 top gear intro.

Once again I was kept home from college due to Covid-19. I used this time to start work on my research paper. Following Nicks help from last week, I decided to write it on becoming a script/screenwriter. So I started to look at jobs sites to see the skills and requirements they were looking for.

This week we were back on zoom and for the most part we continued with unit 11. With Attila we covered Dias Irae, which is a film scoring easter egg that a lot of films use. Nargess gave us an overview of how to write a CV, Nick went over our promo ideas and gave me a place to start with my research paper.

This week was a bit different than the previous practical weeks. This was because I wasn’t actually in college, this was due to a decision made by my parents. The reasoning was down to Covid-19 cases rising in our area and the my Mum is shielding/Clinically vulnerable. However, I still want to continue on with the course so when I was informing my tutors, I asked if there was any catch-up work I needed to do. Nargess gave me an idea for unit 10 about being interviewed on the news program, Attila gave me the class PowerPoint of this week which was on broadcast standards. Nick gave me a full rundown of the brief for the promotional advert which I had missed, so I began to communicate with my group (Gareth Edwards, Adam Vincent, Ellie Simpson, Jack Harper and Charlie Gentle) about the project. I also began work on my research paper.

This week we are back from half were we are starting Unit 11. Attila checked up on our progress with Unit 9 and gave us an overview of Unit 11. Nick, Simon and Sabah gave us an introduction to the research paper and its requirments.
