Production Meeting - 25/03/12

As producers, we were forced to change a lot of things with our planning for the OTS.
The camara man had been switched, due to lack of skill, more skill etc. This provided a more, professional look for the project as the new camera man was more skilled than the last.
Also, the new camera man was provided with a tri-pod, giving a better and more steady camera shot.
This allowed the OTS to flow more, as there was less shaking of the shots.

Following this, the actor's were changed from a male character, to a female character.
This gave the OTS a more, noir feel as it gave a femme fatale (A common signifier of Noir films)

As a result, the production team must produce another storyboard, script, and animatic.

What we need to do:
Finish a draft of the editing. (This can be done today)
Hold a focus group, so we can edit due to opinions. (This can be done in one lesson, either today or next lesson.)

Production Meeting - 21/03/2012

Today, the film crew met up and started editing the collected footage.

First noticeable problems are that the piece is not showing much continuity, and because of this may need to be filmed again. 

As producers, our aims are the have finished filming by the end of the week, and to re film the pieces that do not flow continuously.

Also, at the beginning of next week, the design crew want to start and finish animatics, as the previous attempts need to be changed. 

Production Meeting - 19/03/12

Our group will be filming today.
As Dan has dropped media, we will need to use Kirsty as the camera man, because we need shots of both me and Luke together.
We aim to have finished filming by the end of this week, so we can start editing next week.

Also, we need to finish our animatic by the end of next week.

Sound effects and Folying task

http://lukeandersonasmediaschs2012.blogspot.com/2012/03/sound-effects-foleying-task.html

For this task I worked with Luke, and therefore the link for the post is above:
It has a picture of the sheet we filled in, and a little description of which sound effects we wanted to make. It also says how, as producers, we made them and therefore how we intend to use them in our OTS.
We did this task so that we could understand the art of foleying a bit more, along with how to make certain sound effects.

Also, here is a link to Dan's post about sound for our OTS, as it shows a bit more of how we created the sounds we desired.

Production Meeting - 14/03/12

For our production meeting today, Luke has finished writing the storyboard, and I had finished drawing it so we have a completed storyboard.
Also, Luke had written up a storyboard for us to follow, along with general directions of whats happening in the shot.
Following today, we will start filiming soon, and will try to get as much done.
Me and Luke will start the animatic today aswell, so we can easily move scenes that need to be moved, and we can easily see what order it has to go in without losing bits of paper.

Production meeting - 12/03/12

Our groups production meeting included me continuing the storyboard, Dan uploading photo's and Luke starting the script.
Also, Dan is choosing the locations of where we will film.
I will try to have the storyboard finished this time, and Luke will try to finish the script. This wont be much of a problem as we don't have many talking scenes.
Dan will help Luke with the script once finished uploading photo's.

Production meeting - 07/0312

Dan has taken photo's we need, and will upload them as soon as possible.
I have started to draw the storyboard, and will continue drawing the shots.
Luke is starting to annotate the storyboard, working from today and so on.

As of today - Dan is continuing with the blog work for our OTS.
Luke will be annotating the storyboard until it is finished.
And I will continue to draw the shots working with Luke to get the storyboard finished.

Aims -
I will try to get as much of the storyboard drawn so that Luke can annotate it and we will have it finished.
I also want to start filming quite soon so we can get that started.

Production meeting - 5/3/12

We have had a production meeting today to alocate tasks so that we work efficiently, and so the work load is distributed fairly using our individual skills to the best so that we obtain a good grade.
Consiquently:
1: Dan is responsible for location - Task: Taking photo's of places we are recording, giving us visual evidence and making sure we are correct in choosing those areas. Dan is taking the photo's today, and should upload to his blog. We will then discuss this on wednesday.
2: Luke is responsible for storyboarding with me. However he has an orthodontist apointment and therefore i will start this on my own.
Aims:
By the end of today I want to have learnt how to storyboard using post it notes, so that i can make an animatic and so that i can create a basic story board that i can pass to Luke for anotating. We will meet to discuss this on wednesday.
