Objective. What is your team
project goal, and what tasks are you responsible for completing?
Complete
all B Roll footage for production two and have a completed individual offline
edit for both adverts. We also need a voiceover for the second advert.
|
||
Target 1 - What will YOU
complete by Lunch? -
I will contribute to the
reshooting of the first advert. For this I will be filming the project and
helping to direct so that the other people in my team, who will be acting in
the advert, will have some input into what they are be doing.
|
Target 2 - What will YOU
complete by 16:00? -
I will have helped in the
recording of a voiceover for the second advert and I will have completed both
edits with all assets in place.

|
How
does target 1 contribute to group objective?
This contributes to the group
objective because we need to reshoot one of the adverts, filming the
production will give all of the people in my team the footage for the
individual edits.
Helping to direct will also
contribute because the other people in my team may need some input into what
they will be doing and this will also be helpful for the directing of the
camera.

How
does target 2 contribute to group objective?
This contributes to the group
objective because all of the people in my team will need the voiceover for
their edit.
Our group objective is to
have an offline edit for both of the adverts, so completing these will
contribute to that.

Production Diary:
26th February 2013
Today I generated ideas and created a mindmap with my team, we came up with nine ideas and then chose the two that we were most confident with and developed them with further detail and started the treatment and the shooting script.
I researched into our chosen company, Volvic, to find out information about the product and the actual company. Myself and another team member contacted the company and were given an address in order to send a letter. I wrote the letter for the company asking for information about the target audience and how they appeal to their audience, I also asked if it would be possible for them to send us a vector graphic of their logo and an example of their bottles that we could use in our production. I looked at other adverts for bottled water to see what has been done before and to look at the kind of style that was achieved, also so that my team can try to make something that hasn't been done before.
I also started part of the asset list and researched the kind of music that we want.
1st March 2013
Amber and myself filmed our test footage for our first idea. We reaslised that there were no trees that were suitable for our idea so we had to come up with a new idea but we tried to keep it similar to the original. After brainstorming and coming up with a new idea we tried some test shots with Amber acting and myself managing the filming with the camera.
5th March 2013
Laura, Amber and myself practiced some camera techniques around the college in areas that are similar to the place that we will be filming. Amber and myself wanted to blur the bottle in front of the camera and have the background in focus and then reverse this so that the bottle was in focus and the background was blurred. We tried this numerous times to perfect it but we couldn't get it the way that we wanted because of the camera's iris. We decided to just blur the entire shot and then bring the bottle into focus and this worked quite well to give the effect that we wanted. Amber and myself also tried some test shots of other ideas just to see how well they would work.
9th March 2013
Amber, myself and our actor went to Chorley, Astley Park to film out first advert. I did the majority of the camera work; framing the shots and actually filming the action under some direction from Amber.
12th March 2013
Today I did most of my individual edit for the first water advert, I spent quite a lot of time colour correcting the shots to make them look brighter since the day we filmed was quite grey. I went out with Amber to capture some sound effects for the edit. We also went to the sound booth to record a voice over for it. I helped to set up the equipment and recorded the voice over. I spent some time editing the voice over to the sequence.
26th March 2013
Today I spent the day editing the two water adverts. I spent most of the time arranging the sequence, colour correcting, choosing music and applying for copyright. I also went out with Amber to record a part of the voice over. I finished the editing and exported the videos to upload onto YouTube.
