production log 4

This week we mainly focused on getting all of the pre-production work done, which is finishing the emails which contacts some of the experts that we wanted to include in our documentary. We finished the crew list which said everybody that was going to be in the crew that  we are planning to work with when making the documentary. We finished the vox pop questions which included the questions about obsessions that we are planning to ask a few people on the street. We managed to finish the location recces which mentioned all of the locations that we are planning to use in our documentary. The budget  was finished, which included how much money we are planning on spending on the documentary, and what we are planning on spending money on. Finally we managed to finish the risk assessment, which stated some risks that might happen when we are making the documentary, and we finished the two production schedules for January and February, which said everything we are going to do for the documentary in those months and when we are planning to do them.

Me and my partner ended up splitting the work together, since now that my exams are over I have a lot of time to work on the pre production work. When splitting the work up I worked on the vox pop questions, the risk assessment and the crew list, where my partner did the location recces, the budget and the two production schedules.

There was only problem that we had to face week, which was dealing with what exact times we have to actually do the work since a lot of things came up, but we both managed to finish it all of the work before the deadline.

Next week we plan to actually start filming our documentary.

production log 3

This is the third production log where we are working on the pre production for the making of our short films. During this weekend, I have managed to finally have time to be able to finish the cast list that I needed to complete. The crew list basically states all of the people that we would work with when making the documentary. This would include the people who would be dealing with the camera operation, sound operation, directing, presenting and acting.

I am still getting in contact with my partner, making sure that if there are any changes that need to be made to all of the pre production work that we were given. Also, we were checking if our pieces of production paper work had reached all of the requirements needed, making sure the work is in good condition to go ahead with filming. I have written down that we would be using Hila Michelle as one of the obsessed individuals, but me and my partner are still unsure if she would be able to make it in time. If it ends up that she would not be able to turn up during filming time, we would possibly move the filming time to a date that she will be available.

The only thing that I would say has been a challenge this week was dealing with deadlines, and making sure everybody can make it when we are going to do the filming.

Next week I am planning to finish all of the production paperwork and then I can start actually filming the documentary.

production log 2

This is the second production log where we are going to work on the pre production of the making of our short film. This week our goal was that we needed to complete our final proposal as said by our teacher, it was a very simple task to do with my partner since we already knew what we needed to write. This was the week where we needed to start the major pre production paperwork, so the class sat down by our teacher in the middle of the room as she discussed all of the pre production tasks that we needed to complete by the beginning of next week.

When doing all of our work we divided the pieces of work between each other in our groups, due to the fact that I had exams to focus on I was given the crew list to deal with, where Faris dealt with all of the other pieces of work, due to this I stated that I would do most of the work when we are doing the filming.

Next week we are both planning to be able to finish all of the pieces of pre production work that we were assigned to complete. Since I have two exams until Tuesday I have asked my partner if he could do most of the pre production work, since I won’t have time since I would have to focus on my exams. We would have to look at the work together and see iif there are any changes that need to be made.

production log 1

This is the first production log where we start the work on making our documentaries. The goal that we have this week is to mainly focus on being able to finish the final proposal for the idea that me and my partner Faris have for the documentary that we are going to be making. When we are doing each piece of the work for the pre production, we have to show all of the work that we have done to the teachers to make sure if the work is either complete or there is still parts of the work that we need to change. When showing our work to miss there were three pieces of work that needed to have changes made but we managed to fix all of those changes.

There was a lot of paperwork that we still need to do this week, since it contained a lot of information that we needed to use for our short film. We did not seem to face any challenges this week since we have not yet started any filming and it was just doing paperwork, which was actually not a very hard task to complete, even though we thought that it would be very difficult.Next week we plan to complete our final proposal and check if our teacher agrees that it is either finished or if we still need to make changes.
