Today me and my group started to finish off our shot list . the shot list took time as each shot was carefully thought through with the group all making contributions to what we felt would look best.we looked at a few depict videos to get ideas for both shots and inspiration.

continued with the story board and completed 14 shots yet to finish and add the details.
There was still lots to do on our storyboard after the previous day's lesson i was left to continue drawing whilst myself and one other headed out to a location room within college which we thought would be a good idea for filming. they spent some time working out the camera and lighting arrangements in the room, but they found that we will need to blackout the door in order to film some shots.

October 6th 2014 - Finishing the Paperwork
In today's lessons we were able to complete all the required paperwork for the pre-production assignment task. For me this included typing up a risk assessment for the shoot to ensure we know what to do in the event of any accidents. Daniel and James went along to W16 again and took a few pictures to go with our Recce sheet. Finally, we typed up a contact sheet with all of our contact numbers and email addresses to complete all the paperwork.
October 8th 2014 - Taking Pictures & Uploading
After completing the paperwork on Monday, today's task was to take pictures of all the written documents and convert typed documents to PDFs in order to upload them to the blog. We set up a small production line for taking the pictures, with myself using the camera whilst Dan and James got the paperwork out and then filed it back away, in order to get it done quicker. After completing this we used scribd to convert the pictures and PDFs to an embed format in order to add it to our blogs.
October 13th 2014 - Production Preparation
The second lesson today, we were able to get into W16, so began setting up the lighting as was previously planned for earlier in the day.i was absent from the first lesson due to an on going medical issue.
October 14th 2014 - Start of Production
Today we finally began filming in our location W16. Within the first block we were able to complete most of the required shots with Dan thanks to the set of everything the day before. This meant progress was decent today, as well as with Reuben in the second hour of filming. Sadly we were not able to complete all of these required shots but we will try and pick them up on Friday as there is not much else to do then. We did however prioritise the shots that specifically required certain props (i.e. the milk) and cast members (i.e. Reuben). At the end of the double block i was tasked with uploading the footage to a Mac ready for editing next week, although this unfortunately did not happen.as shooting overran This meant not all the footage was on the Mac come Friday 17th due to absences later in the week.
October 15th 2014
Myself nd Dan made progress in finding soundtracks for the film and reading the Premier Pro guide to be ready for editing, due to W16 still being unavailable. we made progress even though James was absent.
October 16th 2014 - Pickup Shots
Although we were not scheduled to be filming today, we spotted an opportunity in the last 30 minutes of today's lesson to get in W16 and catch up with some missed shots from Tuesday. They were shots 2, 10 and 12 also (see shot list) which means we are slightly ahead of our production schedule going into Friday.
October 20th 2014 - Starting the Editing
After completing all production last week, it was time to start post-production. After getting some footage onto the Mac in the last lesson on Friday, we were finally able to get the remaining footage from uploaded . James and I sat looking through all the other footage and moving the files we wanted to use into a relevant folder for use in Premier Pro. The group then spent the time putting all of our footage onto a timeline in order and cutting it up to the appropriate lengths.
The result of today's lessons is a complete timeline of all our shots, which was actually much shorter than we had predicted it to be. This was due to either some shots not having enough usable footage because of unforeseen focus or lighting changes, and getting rid of 2 shots entirely due to a major continuity area with the glass of milk.
