Absents

Unfortunately Katie is off ill again today, this means that we can not continue developing small aspects of the project as a group. We feel slightly disappointed by this however we cannot blame anyone for dire circumstances, luckily for us though there is not much development needed in the project which means we are not under much pressure to upload our project, subsequently since me and Barry cannot work on the project today then we decided to discuss with Sir and between ourselves aspects which we could include in our evaluation, since we feel it is foolish to start evaluating before the project is uploaded then we are just simply discussing what we can and should include in answering the seven required questions for the analysis. We also discovered that in order to  fulfill our commentary we simply record our voice through a camera and then place the project onto Premier Pro and repeat it continously until our voices are finished talking. I asked Sir this after watching a previous student's commentary from last year. We also discovered that in order to answer the question "use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products" we simply have to compare our project with elements from our research such as linking with films in terms of specific shots (in our case canted shots with stark lighting etc), as well as sounds, institutions, mise en scene, representation amongst others. This means we are better prepared for the evaluation and we should be able to each gain a substantial mark for it. An interesting aspect of the evaluation is that we each have to start writing the evaluation individually which will be interesting to see as so far we have all worked as a group and almost every single blog post is cenetered around us working as a group so it would be interesting to see how we each cope with working without eachother over the Easter holidays, although I am confident Katie and Barry as well as myself will be able to write a very effective evaluation (and create an effective commentarty) individually whilst still working as a group in regards to the presentation we need to give towards the class and also the interview we will have with Sir.
