Progress report

10/02/2013 - Yesterday on 09/02/13 we all met up and shot our final scene, which went well we took many shots so it is easier for us whilst editing. I have uploaded my print magazine which is incomplete and 10 images of which I would consider using on my print magazine cover as the central image. 

DRAFT magazine.


This is a draft of my print magazine, it isn't completed as I didn't have enough time, I've added some effects which I have seen on other magazines such as 'Q' magazine, the effect with the name and making the forename bigger than the surname, this would attract the audience and would make them wanting to read it. Also the effect on the text "RASHMI SHARMA" is a drop shadow effect which gives it that spooky effect. Moreover, the effect on the image is very blurry this is due to it being a still image from one of our shots we had taken within our production work hence it being in that form, which means it had lost pixels from the image. As you can see I've stuck to a colour scheme of purple and black as they both stand out and are a good combination together. I've made the step text fit into the A this is because according to my research I've been able to identify that most magazine titles stick to two words, so A and Back would attract the audience, the step going down vertically would also engage them, and also as it is a different colour. I have the institution 'E4' at the top so the audience is able to see what channel it is from and so they would buy the magazine, especially if they enjoy watching that channel. The pricing and bar-code is placed in the bottom left hand corner. I need to add more text and make it stand out more when doing my actual print production, and I will as I'll have more time to do so.

Group progress

03/02/2013 - As a whole group, we have made a lot of progress, since we started, we all have contributed in many ways and here is evidence that we have been meeting up during our spare time to help with the production work. We were shooting from 11.00am - 4.00pm, it took a lot of hard work and patience, as we needed to make sure we were taking the shots a lot of times, so we can reach perfection and dust up all the little bits and bobs, to polish up our final piece for our production work, as we don't want to have to go back to Ealing Town Hall, so we had taken many shots, so it is easier for us whilst editing our production work.
 Ashwaria, Me, Dupinder and Mandeep are in one of the Ealing Town Hall rooms, shooting our first scene for our production work. As you can see it is layout out in a way we wanted it to be, apart from the fact the chairs aren't the correct ones, we have got the correct layout. The decorations and displays fitted well within our first scene, as that is how we imagined it to be so. This also shows we have made progress as a group as we have began to shoot our scenes, also this is a record of reminding us when we shot our production work. 

This is me on the stairs of Ealing town hall, whilst preparing for the production shoot, as you can see one of the props we said we would used have been used within this part of our production work. This part of the building was very nice, the big stairs made it look like it was some big place, such as a University, as it was very spacious. 
This is when we went to shoot at Southall train station, which again we had to ask for permission, which we got. This is Mandeep shooting from the other side of the platform, the protagonist (Me) was on the other side. 


This is another shot of Southall train station, this is proof that we shot here, and this was the sort of platform we were looking to do our scene on, due to there being two platforms, and making it easier for us to shoot and making it look as if the girl gets on the train. This made it easier for us.

Progress report

28/01/2013: My previous action plans were;
- Tell sir about our final idea
- Try getting the location fixed 
- Start our shooting ASAP!
all these action plans were reached. 

Progress report
We showed sir our pre-production elements and he agreed on the script for our production work, but thought our storyboards were lacking by a lot, so we need to make sure as a group we have a lot of different shots and be very specific about the amount of shots and we need to time it realistically. We should have this completed by Saturday. I've got permission from Ealing town hall, so we are able to shoot there on the 3/02/2013. We have to ask teenagers our age if they would watch such a show, and they said they would due to the storyline being very good and that being a good introduction to the series of the programme.

ACTION PLAN FOR THE WEEK
Complete the 50 shots (storyboard) by 03/02/2013 in time for shooting our first scene in the town hall
Complete shot list after storyboard. (Mandeep)
Print out all the essential forms needed such as the permission for the location.


03/02/2013:
Action plans completed as stated above, we completed the 50 shots of storyboard, shot list and also printed out the forms which are also filled out by the location supervisors.

Progress report
We have shot the first scene for our production work which took place today in the town hall and have started our second scene but it is incomplete, we took variety of shots from different angles so it will be easier for us whilst we put the whole production work together, so we can choose from a range. Also, so we can see the different angles and shots and decide which works better, we took each shot more than 4 times at least to make it easier whilst we edit, and we left a 3 second extra ending whilst filming so it would be easier when we cut out the parts to put together at the end. 

ACTION PLAN FOR THE WEEK 
Shoot our second scene for our production work
Print out more forms for the actors and the others and fill them out
