Final Cut

http://katiesawesomeasmediablog.blogspot.com/2012/03/final-cut_7695.html Here is a link to Katie's blog in which she has posted our final cut for our project

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.

Titles Again

As we discovered in lesson today it turns out that our project will require 3 more titles. These titles include "Warner Bros Presents", "A DynamiteKitty Production" and "A film by Katie Boal, Reece Wilkins and Barry Stubbs". Therefore there is good news and bad news, the bad news is that this may be time consuming once again as we will need to create the titles once again, however the good new is that it should not take too long to create and also these titles are shown before the first scene of our project, therefore there should not be a major issue in inserting this into our sequence. These titles will obviously need to follow the same style as the other title sequences, which will require using black and white text along with the same transition used previously. Overall this should help amass us to the highest grade possible,  if we did not include these titles we will risk losing 1 or 2 marks which is not a very substantial figure however it could help be the difference between an A grade project and an A* grade project. I think with Katie's absence today as well as a likelyhood that she may not be in tomorrow as well means that it may take a considerable amount of time for us to complete these titles, although in retrospect 1 or 2 marks is not an incredibley big deal so we will not panic for now.

Absents

Unfortunately Katie is ill today and thus will not be in the lesson, this means me and Barry are limited to how much work we can do as Katie has the contents of our project on her laptop in her house. Therefore me and Barry have decided to dicuss our porject in detail and discuss representation within our project. Hopefully Katie will be in the lesson tomorrow.
