5b) Write a series of production diary

Task 5b) Write a series of production diary posts that reflects on your creative decision-making outcomes under the following headings:  i.meeting deadlines; (weekly diary of progress to schedule)     ii.quality management; (meeting to discuss the production quality and fitness for purpose of each of the idents - what will be discussed/renegotiated with client before production starts) Team working; (weekly team log of contributions and management of the production)



(11/03/17)- Preparing for meeting with client.

Meeting deadline
On  Tuesday the 11th today we was giving a the official  brief from the client about producing an ident for Christ the King Sixth Form. The First thing i had to do was annotated the brief in two section of nature and demands which we was giving 10-15 minutes to do that. Even-though i had 10-15 minutes i found quite hard as like to take my time on reading things so i get a clear understanding what the brief is asking me to do but i still kept to deadline of annotated the brief on time. By doing this i find this technique very useful when working towards a brief as i got a better understanding.

Another thing that required to meet deadlines was that my group and i had 10 mins to discuss anything on brief such as, what type of brief it is e.g, formal, negotiation and commission what are the nature and demands of the brief. By doing this we stick  to the deadline of time scheduling and made sure that we was prepared.

 Team-working

Today we also done teamwork and made little progress on coming up with ideas about the brief and possible outcomes such as, suit of idents and the duration of each ident. also we can up with question we might ask the client.

(19/03/17)- planning ideas

Meeting deadline

Today i was preparing for my pitch for the client and my group to talk about my potential idea to the camera. For my pitch i had 5 minutes to deliver my pitch to my team. Also we had to answer question on why my idea is suitable  for brief such as, why is it creative? Overall i found it harder as i had 5 minutes to go through my idea.

Quality Management 

Today i had discuss my idea to the team for each idents. After the pitch my team like my idea and can be improve. Then i listen to other idea and really like Calvin idea as it more about diversity. After each pitch we decided that we was going to combined Calvin's and Maya’s idea. We had a little meeting discussing our idea and how we going to develop it.

Team Work

Today Young Empire work well as a team as we patient with each other ideas and we all time each other so we did not go over our pitch. We work well together however we had some disagreements on how was going to edit the pitch on each idea for each person on their blog. After 5 minutes Shanee was going to do for us and we was very thankfully for that. We also split up each section for production log. 

(20/03/17)-(19/04/17)- Production Log

Quality Management       

Today Young Empire discuss and had a group meeting on updates on our production log and had meeting on our idea. During this process we had a bit of difficulties on our idea as it was to complicated and we need to simplified it. After 1 hour we came up with idea and themes such as, colour splash- purple for brand identity.

Teamwork  

Today Young Empire work ok as a team as we all had some input in our final idea. Even though we had a huge agreement on our idea as some say it unrealistic e,g, Roopa and calvin so we came up with idea that we all like and was doable to the deadline. I wrote each idea and we are going to see in each idea.

Meeting deadline  

Today Young Empire we finished the production plan we all the information in the pack. When it came to delivering i final idea to the client we meet up before hand and plan our pitch as team and we all had something to say. However, the thing we can all improve was time management as we had 5 minutes to go through production log and in some we run out of time so explain it briefly. Overall i think we did not not panic and we was able to go through all the sections in time given.


26/04/17-(03/05/17)- Pre Production

Meeting deadline  

Today we complete the pre-production work with all the task to go with and filled in much detail. we also spitted up the work between the producer, camera operator, editor and direct and on time we deliver it and put in a pack ready for the client to look at. Overall I think it went well as we stick to time.   
Teamwork  

Today we work well as team as we all complete our task in detail we also had meetings to keep us up to data with our  pre-production work and we all help each other out if its needed. Also we had contributed to the task such as, the storyboard. We had to make individual storyboard such as Calvin done the dance ident storyboard, Shanee done the crime scene, Roopa done football ident storyboard and i done the art exhibition storyboard. On top that we had our own part to do.           

Quality Management   

Today we manage our time very well as we had regular meeting on the pre-production in class and outside class. We also done a check list to see what task we have complete and what task we need to complete before the deadline. Due to my part i think my time management was good but i think it could be better as was quite slow at doing risk assessment however, i stick to the deadline and i got it done on time.

Due to this schedule we had a few ups and down as we did not stick to our schedule as we doing some computer software and watch tutorial how to animate footage or pictures to make come alive. Although we filmed early for the crime scene one.  

8/05/17-12/05/17 – filming idents stage
Meeting deadline
Today Young Empire film our media ident which thriller. As we meet our talent and our team at Christ the King sixth form college and to film the whole ident in 40 minutes. By this we made a time schedule in order to stick to deadline. I felt we all put effort to stick to deadline and we achieve it. Overall, thing that I would like to change next come in early to set the equipment up faster as we spent more time setting up equipment and going through the script.

 Quality Management   
 Young Empire Quality Management was very good as we had a group meeting the Friday discussing all the props we need to make this ident realistic. For each ident that we planned we make sure we have props planned before shoot. For example, for the media ident later down the line we change our ident as we did not feel like it would work so went for a thriller approach which it felt with our theme and ident for 3 ident. For getting ready for this shoot we had meeting before hand on what we are going film with our talent and what props needed for this ident.  For example, scars as we made it ourselves to make it realistic and it work. 
Teamwork
Young Empire work well as a team as we help each with filming and direction of the ident. My role was direction as I help direct the talent for each ident.  We all work as team as we keep an eye out for time as had strict deadline for each ident location. We boosted each up when got frustrated at each other a lot. We did this by having a time out and going through our storyboard and our AV Script. We all took time on recording the talent for ident and started to rough cut each one. However, we had difficulties in getting footage as the person that had the SD card was not in so we could edit one of the rough cut; by this it delay our editing.       
12/05/17-19/05/17 editing stage
Quality Management   
Today our management was great to start with as each person in our group took each ident to edit using software such as Photoshop and after effects. As I done the peacock ident, shanne done crime scene ident, Calvin done the dance one and Roopa is doing football edit for ident. As the week ends we realise that animation was quite time consuming with the rotoscoping every frame and yu have to be patient with it. We had meeting on each lesson how much have done each lesson. However, some took long then other which slow down the process.
Deadline
Today we started editing this week and my deadline was to finished my peacock this week and I meet that deadline and started to rotor-scope which took me a long time as we realise that we took a long time to rotor-scope which was major minor in our editing stage. As we was still editing after a week we had a meeting to discuss that we not doing rotor-scope no more just animation as it was quicker and less time consuming . However the process was delay as we had to put all our work on Webley up to data.
Teamwork
Today we work ok as a team with helping each with editing each ident and getting guideless from Calvin however we has some argument with editing stage as some were taker long than other e.g me as I was going in detailed with my peacock so they were complaining that I should move faster so Thursday I started to do the rest of the ident which took long. Also during this week we help each other find a suitable soundtrack that suits each ident. However we found a soundtrack that suited 3 ident but not one of ident. After that soundtrack did not fit we look for another soundtrack and fitted 4 idents.     
20/05/17- 24/05/17 – feedback up to data
Deadline
Today I went to do some of my correction from the feedback from the teacher  as working on 2b &2c add some more detailed also I form my group that Improve my bit for 2b and they need to up data their parts. We also had a meeting to say when is it going to be up data and we agreed by tonight. For my weebly I put on my work on the website task 1-4 and continued working on my animation for Christ the King 
Quality management
Today I went over the brief and see what task needs to be on my weebly and correct on my blog as I found I need improve task 2b&c as well as task 3 and 4. My teacher gave my grade for each task. I had a team meeting with my group and took notes what need improve and what is done. After lesson I started to upload my task 4 and 3 onto weebly. Also I check what task that need more time correction and what steps can make it to finish it on time to deadline.  Today we had meeting on updates of our work due to weebly and our animation  
Teamwork
Today we work on getting our work up to data by adding more information. We had a meeting on which part we ach going to improve for contribution task. For example, I add more to mine part and shanne part, Roopa is adding her bit and improving and when they are done put on their blogs. Today we work very well as communication has improve and we all help each with the animation and update with weebly.
Overall I think the whole process was time consuming and little bit difficult. I think we work well together but our communicating skill could be improved. The thing we could d better the next time was to know what we was doing as roto-scope was not working for us as now we did animation instead, so we wasted a week roco-scoping when we did not used it
