Okay So we're nearly at the end of our research and planning stage and now is the time to review our production so far and catch you up.
How are things going and what's happened so far:
So, so far we've learnt how to use our school's new DSLR cameras and editing software by creating a short Litter documentary and editing it in a production group, after showing this video to our peers for evaluation we discovered we needed some work on focusing these new cameras and an exterior monitoring kit to make focusing easier. Shortly after this Mr Hood assigned us to the work groups we were in for the documentary as our full time production team for our 5 minute short film.
Our first task as a Production team was to combine our shorts into ONE idea which we would plan, research and finally film IF we got commissioned, which thankfully we were. This is when we were given the reins and told to drive our team to get all blog post's, research and planning done in time for us to start shooting our films.
And here is where we currently are, so close to being done yet so far. Currently our Production team is behind on some posts but this isn't a worry, we're not so far behind that we won't be able to catch up in the near future, so the work load is doable. There's just a couple blog post's missing here and there that were meant to be completed and uploaded to our blogs but have slipped some people by with the work load we have going on for us at the moment, but never fear! Rome wasn't built in a day and neither were exceptional blog posts.
The deadline for R&P is looming upon us and growing ever closer (10 days and counting) and while my team mates openly freak out, I know we will pull through.
Our group discussion with Mr Hood
Each production team went in to a separate room for a discussion with Sir about our work and how well we were doing and while sir also see's we are falling slightly behind the other groups he's not overly worried as long as certain people learn to pick up their slack and other people learn to give the control out equally, which should free up uncertainty with members not wanting to do work while some individuals are missing and may disagree to changes. If implemented our work ethic should become more efficient and we should catch up in no time.
