LAOLU
Date: 09/12/14
What did I do today?
I and my group discussed the idea for our film and
who was going to be in the film.
What did my team do today?
They all contributed ideas to the film. We combined
all our ideas together because all of our ideas were creative and we thought
that if we combined all the ideas together we would have a creative and
innovative idea.
What am I going to do next?
I will start off writing the script because my idea
was the main idea and I had a clearer idea of what was happening in the film
and what was being said.
Date: 10/12/14
What did I do today?
I started gathering the actors for the film and I
began writing the script because I knew which actors I was going to gather.
What did my team do today?
Clifford started off the storyboard because he knew
what he was doing because he had a clear idea on the outline of the film. Liam
started planning the shot list and the outline of the story, e.g. who the
characters are and what their role is.
What am I going to do next?
I will start off writing the script.
Date: 14/04/15
What did I do today?
I was completing the script because I hadn’t
finished it and I needed to touch up on a few areas about the setting.
What did my team do today?
Tanim joined our group because we needed an extra
person to do some work on the actors and the job roles.
Liam started the shot list with Tanim because we
needed recorded list of angles and shots and how long we will do that shot for.
Clifford finished the treatment and proposal and
started the storyboard.
What am I going to do next?
I am going to finish the script.
Date: 16/04/15
What did I do today?
I completed the script but my teacher told me to
alter the format again because the format that I did didn’t match the criteria
so I needed to alter it.
What did my team do today?
Clifford went to our filming location and took
pictures for the recce and started the risk assessment for the filming
location. He went to do this because we needed evidence that the location wasn’t
a bad place to film and he came back to us with a recording on his phone and
the wind was a bit too strong and but the cars didn’t create too much noise so
we moved nearer to the bushes which should hopefully block out most of the
sound.
Liam started to type up the storyboard.
Tanim started the document which shows who the
actors are, the actor release forms. He did this so that we had contact with
the actors and we could reach them if worse comes to worse.
What am I going to do next?
I am going finish off the appropriate script format
so it matches the script criteria.
Date: 21/04/15
What did I do today?
I fully completed the script and uploaded it to the
blog. I checked with my teacher and he said that this was the right format for
the script so I uploaded it to my blog.
What did my team do today?
Tanim completed the actor release forms so we can
contact the actors.
Clifford finished the risk assessment so we can see
what risks there are ibn the location we are filming at. Created location
permission form so that we have permission to film and in the location.
Liam photo shopped the photos and placed them into
the storyboard because they needed to fit in the spaces on the paper.
What am I going to do next?
I am
going to help the rest of my group finish off their tasks because I have
completed my task.
Date: 22/04/15
What did I do today?
I, Liam and Tanim went to take more pictures that
we missed for the storyboard because we need all the shots that we are planning
to use in our film to give us a rough idea on how we are going to shoot the
film and how the outcome will look like.
What did my team do today?
Liam and Tanim came with me to go and take pictures
for the storyboard.
Clifford went back to take pictures for the recce because
he missed some images out on the analysis of the location.
What am I going to do next?
I’ll see if anybody needs help in my group.
Date: 23/04/15
What did I do today?
I did part of the shooting script with Liam because
a few shots were missing.
What did my team do today?
Tanim finished the production roles so we know who
the characters and their role in the film, also he did the job roles for people
in our group, e.g. I am the director, Tanim is the producer, Liam is the
cameraman and Clifford is the sound director. Liam came with me to take more
pictures for the shot list.
Clifford went back to the production schedule and
made changes to sequences of filming and props and costume.
What am I going to do next?
I am going to shoot the film with my crew.
Date: 24/04/15
What did I do today?
I made final changes to the shooting script because
it was still incomplete, we just needed to add the actions and the sound.
What did my team do today?
Tanim finished the call sheets and put them on the
blog.
Clifford made final changes to the recce and production
schedule and uploaded work onto the blog.
What am I going to do next?
Date: 28/04/15
What did I do today?
My crew and I shot the first scene of the film because
in order to shoot the whole film we would've needed a change of clothes and
also the time it would’ve taken to film would’ve been really long and it might’ve
gone darker.
What did my team do today?
They all came to shoot the film.
What am I going to do next?
On Friday we are all going to shoot the rest of the
film because we that day is the best day to do the rest of our film because
everyone is free and we can all meet on the day.
Date: 05/05/15
What did I do today?
My group and I filmed at this date because we
couldn’t film on Friday because our Silhouette Man actor wasn’t free, he was in
a lesson. So we decided to film on the Tuesday of the following week.
What did my team do today?
They started editing their own versions of the film
because that’s what we were assigned to do.
What am I going to do next?
I will finish off my version of the film because I
have only edited the first scene of the film.
Date: 11/05/15
What did I do today?

Date: 14/04/15
What did I do today?
Today, I finished the treatment and proposal, this
was to show our reasons for our film idea including our target audience.
What did my team do today?
Tanim started the shot list, we decided we would use 21 shots, this was because
we felt it would be a suitable amount to fill a short film.
Laolu started writing up the script so we could show the relationship
between the two characters and to convey their different characteristics through
dialogue.
Clifford started the recce of our location in Sidcup park in order to
see if the locations were suitable and to see what the background noise was
like as well as it find out if we were allowed to film there.
What am I going to do next?
I am going to start the storyboard
Date: 16/04/15

This included the shot types, what happens, the duration and any audio that is
heard in the shot.
What did my team do today?
Tanim started the document on our actors and why we choose them, this
was to make sure we had suitable characters for the roles and to justify our
choices.
Clifford started the risk assessment and took pictures in the location
for the recce, this was in order to stay on top of any risks that could be involved
in the film location. Also, he took photos to show the location.
Laolu finished the shot lost with Tanim and continued with the script.
This was to ensure that the script was in line with the storyboard.
What am I going to do next?
I am going to take pictures and use photoshop to edit them.
Date: 21/04/15

I took pictures with Tanim and Laolu using the shot types that I
storyboarded and then used Photoshop to make them look hand drawn, this was to
show the shot types in the storyboard.
What did my team do today?
Tanim completed the actor release forms so we had permission from the
actors to use them in our film and put it online.
Lalou finished off the script.
Clifford took more pictures and completed the recce and then finished,
he also finished the risk assessment and created the location permission form
and started the production schedule and got one of our actors to sign the
release form.
Date: 22/04/15
What did I do today?
I went back with Laolu and Tanim to take photos that I missed, this was
because I needed to take more photos in landscape rather than portrait like I did
on some shots.

Clifford went to recce our back up location, this was in case that we weren’t
able to film in our planned location for any reason.
