Unit 4 Record LOG

08/09/10 - I started researching on record and the history behind the development of technology. I researched how record and technology has changed over time and made notes on what we found out. We researched back to the 18th century and made a timeline on inventors and their inventions throughout late 18th to 19th century. I also included information about modern day technology and presented all this information onto a PowerPoint.

13/09/10 – I had to fill out worksheets to show our understanding on different mediums of recording such as film, audio, film and print. We looked at the different types of record and did further research on them.

06/10/10 – I developed my PowerPoint on the history of record and made added more information that I found out from last lesson.

20/10/10 – This lesson I completed my PowerPoint on the history of record and started a new presentation on storing records.

03/11/10 – I did more research and my teacher explained the different information that we should include in our presentations.

10/11/10 - I completed my presentations and made additional adjustments and added extra useful information.

15/11/10 - This lesson we had an animator who came in to teach us how to create an animation on adobe flash. Trevor Jarvis first introduced the software to us and taught us the basics of the software so that we could get the hang of it. The first things that I learnt were making key frames and draw a shape and make it move. Each of us produced a thirty second animation of a bouncing ball as a starter.

24/11/10 - Today a production assistant who is also a professional camera man visited us. Lokmen Chekki gave us an introduction an explained to us the development of analogue and digital cameras and all the technical elements behind it. We were also told that we had to include this information in our research as part of 4.1 PowerPoint and focus on history of film. We also discussed about the future development of recording with cameras such as 3D or 4D including holograms.

29/11/10 - Trevor Jarvis came in to work with us again and we began working on our own animations to include in our music video. As me and my partner had decided to include our animations in the party dancing scene, we thought having characterised dancing animation would be interesting and fun. I started drawing a monkey and inserted a few key frames just to experiment with on how my monkey should move. I also made a second animation, an aeroplane, as our song is called ‘holiday’ so it suits the video.

08/12/10 - Today we were visited by Yoshito Darmon who previously worked in a filming company as a professional camera man. He taught is how to use the white balance when filming and taking pictures. He also demonstrated on how to set up the camera onto the tripod. We learned the rule of three which includes the head room and lead room. These are the detailed elements in which photographers and camera men look at to frame a shot/picture accurately.

24/04/11 – We discussed and planned out our storyboard. We also typed our initial ideas up and both of us contributed more ideas for our music video.

26/01/11 - Today we discussed on what responsibilities each of us should have and what our roles should be. We also talked about who should be in charge of the schedule plan and contracts. In addition to this, we discussed the health and safety risk assessments that we need to consider and what venues we will film in.

02/02/11 - In this lesson I analysed the audience survey results. From these results we had to make a few alterations to our music video plan to ensure that it meets our target audiences’ requirements.

07/02/11 - Today we decided on what roles we will be taking during the filming of the music video. The main role will be played by someone else and I will be one of the partiers along with my partner Moushomi. We also have to film the music video so we will take turns in being in the video itself.

09/03/11 - Today we were visited by a software company, Moviestorm who introduced us to the software and demonstrated how to use it. I learned that Moviestorm allows people to make animated movies directly from their computers and others can view it. This enabled for anyone who wants to be a director to be one starting with Moviestorm.
