Production Log

Week beginning September 14 - I managed to create a power point which summarised my main ideas for different possible film trailers. I presented the presentation to the class and used their feedback to influence the next stage of my planning. It has become apparent that the crime film was the most well received idea within the class.

Week beginning September 21- To follow up my previous presentation, I created a questionnaire in order to decide if there is an audience within the class for the crime film which I wish to make and to judge what genre conventions such as violence would be able to work well with my chosen audience.

Week beginning September 28-  I found that many would prefer an unedited red band trailer, meaning that I can make the crime film the certification that I originally intended and will not have to cut around the mature themes.

Week beginning November 30- I launched a survey to determine the most popular of the titles which I had selected. I had begun working on the script for the film and have now finished it. I have applied for audio permission for the song Half Full Glass of Wine-Tame Impala by reaching out to the Universal Music Group. I have created talent/location release forms, call sheets,  site plans, risk assessment and location scouting sheets which have been filled out by the required people. I have completed my research and have developed a compony logo based on my research.

Week beginning December 28 - I have researched my shoot requirements for hair, make-up, costumes, props etc. I have also completed my first day of filming.

Week beginning January 4- I have begun the editing process. I have now completed my second day of shooting

Week beginning January 11- I have completed my third day of shooting and have begun editing the footage. I have started my edit decision list which I will continue to update as new footage arrives

 Week beginning January 18 - I finished my final day of shooting and am now editing the clips together into a rough cut

Week beginning February 22- I have uploaded the rough cut of my film and have began using the initial feedback

Week beginning February 29 - I have began addressing issues of pacing and audio that were found within the rough cut

Week Beginning March 21 - I have worked on the criticism from the rough cut and believe that the video is of a finished quality. I was intending to upload the week before but due to technical issues, I was forced to push the date back on two occasions. I have uploaded the finished film to YouTube
