7th March - This week I made a start on my treatment work as well as my script and storyboard. I finished my treatment booklet so it gave me more time to focus on my story boards and other work for my Unit 3. I found the social advert and documentary planning sheet quite hard to do because I wasn't sure what I should do for my advert but with some help I managed to get some good ideas. On the 9th of March I went down to book a camera but there wasn't any left for the rest of the week so I couldn't do any of my advert, to prevent this I need to be quick at getting the slip signed and to go down and get one booked even if it's just for a night.
14th March - This week I handed in my Unit 3 but then got the work back to improve it and to finish bits off that I hadn't done and then handed it again. I was struggling a lot because I have a lot of other work to be doing, so it was hard for me to find the time to fit in every subject. But I managed and it is all completed. To prevent this from happening I could do every subject a night for a certain length of time so I won't fall behind. I also booked a camera on the 17th but unfortunately there was no tape inside to use so I couldn't do any of my advert so it didn't go to plan, to prevent this from happening I got my tape from Lee so if i get another camera like that I will be able to do my advert no matter what.
21st March - This week I have been concentrating on my advert because my Unit 3 work is completed. I haven't actually started my advert because I was unable to book a camera because they were all being used. But I do have some footage from the oil rigs where my dad works, so hopefully I will be able to get a camera booked and do bits of my advert. I also got my Unit 2 work back to improve from a mark band 2 to a mark band 3 so by the end of this week I should have that completed and handed in so Lee can mark it. I will be booking a camera out for this week so I can catch up on my advert because I am behind and then I will upload it to the computer and then edit so I can put in absence of presence and background music and then let Lee see it so I can get his feedback on how to make it better.
28th March - Last week I wasn't able book a camera for wednesday night but lucky enough Lee had a share camera so I managed to film parts of my advert, to me so far what I have taken could of been a bit better but when I put the music in the background I think it will look Ok. This week I will be finishing my filming and staying back on the tuesday, wednesday and thursday night to do all my editing and to put in my sound track. Difficulties I will have are that I will fall behind in other subjects because I'm focusing on my media work. I cant do anything to stop this from happening because if I do, the advert won't be finished for the deadline which is friday.
