This is the weekly progress + plan for my opening scene project.
This is my Term 2 Weekly Progress
Week 1
Throughout the week, we learned about Production, Distribution, and Exhibition in the media world. We also then started working on our blogs for our opening scene project.
For this project, I'm very excited to work on it because we are going to do a unique and easy technique for our opening scene. But, I'm not really excited with the research because our teacher decided to add more things to research about such as Production, Distribution, and the Exhibition for our project media.
Week 2
In this week, we've started to do our research for out opening scene project. Our research was about the industry and researching on companies that produce and distribute similar text that we will be doing for our project (horror, found footage).
Throughout the research, I was still very lazy to finish the first part. Not even closely done, we have another research which is twice as much as the first one that we have done. I'm gonna be so tired and I'm gonna procrastinate most of my time but I'll try my best to keep up with my work before the submission date.
Week 3
We are given a new set of research to do which was about genre. This research helps us understand more about our genre and help us find ideas on what to us and what to make for our project. This research took me about 2 weeks to finish, but i managed to submit and completed it on time. Even though it was exhausted, this research was quite fun and very helpful for inspiration for my project. We also learned about two type of integration which included horizontal and vertical.
Week 4
In this week, we decided to start making our statement of intent. This basically helps us guide our target audiences, our overall ideas for our project. This was easy but there might need to be changes as we always have new ideas coming after we would finish idea sharing. We also learn another genre theory which included synergy, hypodermic needle, two step flow, and uses & gratification which was found by Blumler & Katz.
Week 5
In this week, we have started to work on our project. We started learning about creating storyboards, creating scripts and what is screenplays. We have also managed to start working on our plots and what we want to use in our footage to make it easier for us to film and write. We also had a unit assessment about media consolidation. We had an issue during the test, so I would consider myself doing really bad, because I didn't really studied. But overall I passed the test.
Week 6
In this week, all we did was finish up our project blogs which included the storyboard, script writing and screen play. Our teacher also decided to mention the due dates for our project which will be on Wednesday 13th. The due date includes the blogs about research, storyboard, script, statement of intent. Overall we haven't really learned anything new but we've managed to get our project's storyline done, making it easy fr us to complete other task.
Week 7
This was the week where we had to prepare ourselves for our media semestral exams. We also had to submit our blogs by today and I'm glad that we managed to complete the task on time. Even though there was struggles with the storyboard and script writing, the finish results satisfied me. Overall, we had to learn about media studies exams about text analysis and we had to finish up our blogs when we had free time.
Reflection: Making this was easy because all we had to do was to summarise what we did in class. In some cases, we'll mostly forget because our teacher would either ask us to make it before the week ends or if our teacher would ask the week after. Which sometimes we would forget what we've been doing making it challenging sometimes. Overall, it wasn't that hard because we could share our memories together as a group and telling each other what we've learnt and what to put in our weekly blog summary.
This is my Term 3 Weekly Progress
Week 1
In this week, we did a mini project about recreating a famous scene from the same genre we chose. We chose Paranormal Activity because it was easy and was filming with only one take. This made us realise that making our found footage scene would be easy and fast. Although it will take a while to get since it's a long take, we will hope to get the scene done under 2 takes.
Week 2
In this week we decided to practice how to edit and continued finishing our filming schedule. We had to make a blog about editing and the steps we did when we were editing the clips that my teacher gave us to work with. We also learned about new theories about audience. We learned about reading and how we view the media. These theories includes Cultivation, Desensitisation, Social Learning, and Reception Theory.
