Diary. Monday 14th September

Today three of us completed our storyboards, so we decided to help Sam with his as he was struggling to come up with ideas.
We will probably finish his by th end of the next lesson.

Planning. Friday 11th September

Today we carried on with our storyboards getting new ideas along the way.
After speaking to the teacher we found out that we may have to wait a while as other people are using the video camera.

Planning. Thursday 10th September

Today me and the group started making our storyboards towards our video productions.
After making one storyboard for one vidoe production then finding out we had to do one each, we decided to giveDeclan the storyboard and we made different ones each but Dclan had to help us.
Declan's storyboard was the original production we were going for with the criminal investigator and the criminal in an interview.
Sam's storyboard was about a criminal being freed from prison.
Adam's storyboard was about a comedian's job interview and i decided to go with a doctor's appointment for my storyboard.

Research/Planning. Tuesday 8th September

I found some great films and charcters for my research for my video. These films consisted of:

1. The shawshank redemption.


2. The Godfather.


3. Pulp Fiction.


4. Goodfellas.


5. The dark Knight.

I chose these films as they are all good crime films whoch will come in handy with my production as i have decided to makea short video about an interview between a police investigaor and a crime suspect.

I chose The shawshank redemption as it has a great scene in it where the criminal gets interviewed. I chose The Godfather as it is an all round great crime film. I chose Pulp fiction for its supense and the same with Goodfellas. My favourite choice was the Dark Knight as this was a very inspiring film and it had a great scene between batman and the joker where he interviews him which provided me with the best ideas.

The characters that i researched for the roles in my video were split into two. One into the police investigators and the other into the criminal (which had to be part psychotic).

The characters I researched for role as police investigator were:

• Batman.
• Heratio Cane (from CSI Miami)
• Gi. Joe
• Judge Dredd

The characters I researched for the role as the criminal were:

• Joker.
• Hyde
• Jack the Ripper
• Frankenstein
• The Green Goblin.

Planning for Preliminary task Monday 7th September

Today me and my group sat down and discussed what our preliminary videos were going to be as we had to do one each to prove that we could all use the video camera.
We discussed topics such as:

• Where to shoot our video.
• What characters we were going to use.
• What our videos were going to be based on.
• What days we were going to use to shoot our video.
• Research - to help us create our videos.

We wrote a list of things to research and used it as a homework for tommorow.

Media production-introduction 2009

First of all i have decided to choose the vide section in my logbook.
I have decided to work with a group to do the task.
This group cosists of me, Adam White, Sam Highton and Declan Sanders.

There are two tasks within the video section; the first one being the preliminary task and the second one being the main task.
The preliminary task we have been given is to do a small tw minute video which contains two characters and one of them has to walk to a seat and sit down to have a conversation with the other.
The main task tells us to do an introduction to a film we must create and finish it with ending credits.
I began today with creating a list of different fictional films and characters which may suit our productions.


In order to use the blogger address and site i had to get help from a friend to show me how.
