Unit 1
Date - Friday 8th November, 2019
What task was I asked to complete?
Today, my task was to complete a shot list for my group and I's short film. This would prepare us when we went out and shot the short film. As it lists the costumes, shot types, angle of shots and description.
What was I able to achieve and how did it go?
I achieved making the shot list and it went well. However, i believe that there were too many shots for our short film. This will make the editing and filming process longer.
What could you have improved on in today's lesson?
Today I could have improved my speed as the shot list took very long and delayed planning time for our short film.
What are the plans/improvements you will do for homework/in your future lessons?
My plans for future work is to use this shot list when filming and planning costume types and a clear order of what shots will be included in each scene.

What could you have improved on in today's lesson?
In today's lesson my group and I could have improved on timing as filming was delayed due to technical issues with the sound equipment and camera. We should have checked our equipment once we'd received it. To speed up the shooting process.

What was I able to achieve and how did it go?
It went well, although my group and I were told that we had to edit our draft short film individually, and not just one person in that group. This will delay our process when finalising our short film.
What could you have improved on in today's lesson?
Today, I could have improved on my timing as towards the end of the lesson I ran out of time to upload the footage we shot onto Premiere Pro to start editing. However, I don't have all our footage (the rest is on another computer) so it would be hard to start editing without all the footage anyway.
What are the plans/improvements you will do for homework/in your future lessons?
Next lesson, I am going to gather all my footage and begin to edit the draft of the short film. I will be editing all the footage using Premiere Pro and gather the audios with the shoots to prepare for cutting the clips/scenes.

I was able to achieve shooting the close ups, however I ran out of time and had to create the shot log in my spare time. Overall, the shooting went well as the equipment captured the audio and visuals very well.

In today's lesson I could have improved on my timing as I ran out of time to complete my shot log. I could have improved my timing by packing away the equipment at a faster pace.

Next lesson, I will be going through the shot log and begin the editing the rough edit of my group's short film.

Date 23rd November 2019
What tasks was I asked to complete?
My task for today was to start editing my first edit of my group and I's short film. For editing we used Premiere Pro. To organise our editing, we created shot logs for each page/minute of the script/film.
What was I able to achieve and how did it go?
I was able to begin editing and organise my audio with the scenes to help breakdown scene by scene, this improves my editing as it is easier and faster when clipping scenes.
What could you have improved on in today's lesson?
I could have improved on my speed as I was quite slow with editing, this is because I had to find the audio that went with each scene and match them in time to capture the scene visually and audibly.
What are your plans/improvements you will do for homework/in your future lesson?
My plans for next lesson are to continue editing, once my editing is finished my group snd I will review out edited short film and list what to include and exclude, as well as how to improve for out final finished editing of this short film.

I achieve part of the editing process, although I didn't complete the edit due to my timing. This was because my group and I were struggling to match scenes, as there was a missing scene from our shot log.

In today's lesson i could have improved on my timing when finding the footage for my short film, rough edit.
