Over these three months I was able to successfully edit evaluate and film my production to a high standard with little problems. The quality of the final
Monday 19th October
Today I was able to begin filming. After buying a tape, I had to film two pan shots of the local leisure centre, and also had to do my focus group. The focus group was a success as I was able to obtain four interviewees and ask them relevant questions about my production.
Thursday 22nd October 2009
After obtaining my equipment from the media technician I was able to begin filming the green screen parts of the news production rather quickly. This benefited me as I only had two days to complete filming and I was already running behind, a fraction.
Friday 23rd October 2009
As this was the final day to film I was in a hurry to finish filming as I still had to get most of the interviewees interviewed. However this did not take long and I was able to get these shots done rather quickly, and by the end of the day. I was unable to upload the production on to the school computers as I had ran out of time, but this was not essential, as this can be done after the half term.
Monday 3rd November 2009
Todays successes after our half term break were that I was able to begin working on my website design. I used my designs on paper from over the half term to begin work on my website. The programme we used was Adobe Dreamweaver as this is a main programme for designing websites. During a two lesson period I was able to begin my homepage and create a simplistic view to my page. I used conventions such as a search bar and news stories to the left of the screen and a conventional navigation bar.
Tuesday 4th November 2009
Today I was able to continue working on my homepage design whilst working on the colours that were going to be used. I was also able to add text to the website and also a navigation panel to the left of the screen.
Monday 9th November 2009
Today I was able to begin work on my second page of the website as I referred to the story on the leisure centre improvements. I had already designed a text for this section and I was able to just copy the text straight into the text box, whilst adding a few figures and key personnel. I also added text and hyperlinks to the pages such as the Home icon and the title of the news programme.
Tuesday 10th November 2009
As we had a cover teacher today I was able to carry on working on my webpages and added a search bar to the top of the page. This search bar involved a variety of different scripts and settings and took a long while to complete. I also carried on work on my second web page where I added more text and look to add images in the near future.
Friday 13th November 2009
Today I was able to upload my footage from my tape onto the computer and Final Cut Pro. This took extremely long to do as I had a lot of footage on the tape. There were no problems on this unlucky day!
Monday 16th November
As from the previous lesson I had uploaded my footage from my tape, I continued in editing the clips and cutting parts in and out of the clips. Today I was aable to apply a green screen effect in that I had a black background where the green screen was. I am looking to adjust the background for the anchor to have an image behind the anchor, perhaps of the school or of a certain part of the school or a news room. I was able to order the clips into their correct places and was able to begin tightening the clips so that the cuts seem more professional, which was one of my targets along with using Final Cut Pro.
Tuesday 24th November
Today I was able to carry on working on my editing process of the production. A success today was that I was able to create a title bar for each of the clips. This title bar was created to match the logos colour of blue and I used white font on the blue title bar to relate to the genre and conventions of my show.
Also today I was able to add a title sequence to the beginning of the program, which looks modern and matches the conventions and hopefully the logo of the program, as I have yet to create a final logo. I was also able to capture footage from the camera to Final Cut Pro, of the panning shot of the Clissold leisure centre.
Sunday 19th November
Today I was able to create a logo for my production using adobe illustrator as I used a variety of colour schemes and techniques to provide a more eye pleasing logo. I made a transparent version to sit on the screen and I was able to follow the conventions of many news programs via having the transparent logo in the top left hand of the corner of the screen
Thursday 3rd December
Todays success was that I was able to acquire a very good background image that I had earlier photographed during the day and it seems to look of a high quality. I was also able to crop the image to a size that suited the production on screen more and I added the logo made earlier in the week to the image on screen.
Friday 4th December
Today I was able to film the very last needed parts for my news production and get them edited in Final Cut Pro. I filmed the interviews with the schools head teacher and I also manage to record the voiceovers for certain parts of the production.
Monday 7th December
I was finally able to upload my focus group to the video server website YouTube after handing in my production work earlier in the day.
