Diary (24th April 2017)
Before we had the meeting with the client,
we made sure that everyone was doing the work that was done so we can put it as an portfolio for David Pearson to see during the pitch and also we had come up with ideas for the suite of idents with the theme being community.
Meeting deadlines; (weekly diary of progress to schedule)
We had been working on this production plan a week before so we could meet the deadline of the next day and we felt that the ideas were good enough so we got feedback from sir which he felt the same as well but he told us to make sure that the ideas had brand identify, tone, visual style, colour and same consistant for the theme.
Quality management; (meeting to discuss the production quality and fitness for purpose of
each of the idents - what will be discussed/renegotiated with client
before production starts)
In terms of the production plan that was done before the pitch, it was: the production budget, production plan with timescale, treatment for the suite of idents, designs, potential problems and potential problems but these responsibilities were given to different people within the group. We discussed as a team in terms of what should be seen within the ideas after getting feedback in the class.
Team-working; (weekly team log of contributions and management of the production)
I felt that as a team, we were working well within the group by making sure that the work was done before the deadline.
25th April 2017
As a group, we had finalize our ideas in terms of what were the ideas for the suite of idents for the YouTube channel of Christ The King while keeping the same theme so it does remain consistent since we are going to pitch to the client.
Meeting deadlines; (weekly diary of progress to schedule)
Before we met with the client for the pitch, we made sure that the work was into an portfolio in terms of what was required for the client to see for himself so he could ask some questions about it as we would clarity to him in detail.
Quality management; (meeting to discuss the production quality and fitness for purpose of each of the idents - what will be discussed/renegotiated with client before production starts)
During the pitch with the client we discussed about the duration of the suite of idents in which, we said that it was going to be 10-20 seconds long where the client was completely fine about this as we talked about this the first time around where our and other groups met with him which he said that it was okay with the suite of idents being under 10-20 seconds long. In terms of our ideas, the whole group spoke about this while covering the things that we needed to talk about to the client which was: production plan with timescale, budget, solutions, problems and designs of the logo that will appear in the suite of idents.
Team-working; (weekly team log of contributions and management of the production)
I would say that as a team, we did work very well as the whole group did
contribute to the pitch within the timescale of 6 mintue.
2th May 2017
On this day, we had recevied feedback from sir in terms of the portfolio that we had given to the client to see during the pitch and not only that I had come with the idea for the fourth ident since the others had come up with a idea but I couldn't come up with one so Lawrence came up with the fashion show idea and he gave to me.
Meeting deadlines; (weekly diary of progress to schedule)
As a team we did meet the deadline in terms of handing the work in on time but however the work was at an poor look for which, we were disappointed with this as it could have been better.
Quality management; (meeting to discuss the production quality and
fitness for purpose of each of the idents - what will be
discussed/renegotiated with client before production starts)
When the meeting with sir took place, some of the work that we did could have been better like for example: the treatment for the suite of ident's ideas wasn't written clearly so he gave it an NYA grade as there was no theme, visual style, tone, colour and brand identify. The design of the logo was given an NYA grade as it wasn't consistent of what we said during the pitch but everything else that we did was given the grade of Pass and not only that, everyone in the group was at fault for the contribution towards the making of the production plan.
Team-working; (weekly team log of contributions and management of the production)
When it did come to working as a team, I felt that we did work okay but we all know that the work could have been improved to an higher level than expected but also we needed to communicate a lot more than we were before since we are going into production to make the idents
12th May 2017
As a team, we filmed the first ident of the four which was the hands idea in the green room but it was done in stop motion by taking pictures on the camera that we had hired out.
Meeting deadlines; (weekly diary of progress to schedule)
Since we had to meet the deadline of 26th May, we needed to start filming the idents as we could miss the deadline by not handing it on time since we are in production.
Quality management; (meeting to discuss the production quality and
fitness for purpose of each of the idents - what will be
discussed/renegotiated with client before production starts)
As the producer, I had to make sure that I booked out the green room and equipment of camera and tripod by seeing the manager who keeps it for students to use for their coursework although, I needed to book these things in advance so it does avoids not filming at all. Also the whole group needed to show up to do the shooting in which they did compared to other day (wednesday 10th May) as I was only one within the group to show up on that day.
Team-working; (weekly team log of contributions and management of the production)
As a team, we work together very well to get the filming of the first ident done as we needed to meet the deadline so in the next week, we are going to be filming the next two idents.
15th May 2017
On Monday, we had a slight setback during the production stage where I made an error where I had lost the SD card that had the footage of the rough cut version of the hands idents and Barton was annoyed with us as we had film nothing during the lesson.
Meeting deadlines; (weekly diary of progress to schedule)
Even though the schedule is the deadline of 26th May, we were pushed back slightly since there was an error within the team.
Quality management; (meeting to discuss the production quality and fitness for purpose of each of the idents - what will be discussed/renegotiated with client before production starts)
The quality management at this day was very poor as I had lost the SD card that had the footage of the rough cut version of hands ident which was my responsibility so I have let down the team completely for this mishap.
Team-working; (weekly team log of contributions and management of the production)
There was no team-working on this day at all since we didn't do anything at all during Barton's lesson at all.
16th May 2017
On this day, we filmed the hands, photography and football ident by using the green room during the afternoon and while in Barton's lesson, we used the sports hall although we did run into some issues where I didn't book out the kit and room before the lesson.
Meeting deadlines; (weekly diary of progress to schedule)
After filming the three idents of hands, photography and football, we are completely on schedule to meet the deadline of 26th May to hand in the idents for the client to review so he can decide to see who's idents from different groups including us to put on the CTK YouTube channel.
Quality management; (meeting to discuss the production quality and
fitness for purpose of each of the idents - what will be
discussed/renegotiated with client before production starts)
Before Barton's lesson, I was meant to book out the sports hall and kit so we could film the football ident on time but I had forgot to do this so he was sightly concerned about this. Since James who was one of the editors, he was going to be editing the first two idents in the Mac room while myself, Lawrence and Rosie went to find out if the sports hall was available and see if we could use an spare PE kit and football to make the football ident since I had booked out the equipment earlier to make the photography ident. After speaking with one of the PE staff, he did allowed us to use the sports hall to film the football ident and also borrowing the spare PE kit and football as well.
Team-working; (weekly team log of contributions and management of the production)
Although I was at fault not booking out the sports hall, not getting the spare PE kit and football before Barton's lesson, as a group we worked as a team to get some of the editing done and film the two idents before the end of the lesson in which we did do this.
18th May 2017
After we finished our media lesson in the afternoon, we filmed the fourth ident which was the fashion idea so we could be completed with the production.
Meeting deadlines; (weekly diary of progress to schedule)
Aftering finishing filming the fourth ident on this day, we are on schedule to meet the deadline of 26th May to hand in the suite of idents to the client but we needed to make sure that these idents had an sense of brand identify, colour and tone as well.
Quality management; (meeting to discuss the production quality and
fitness for purpose of each of the idents - what will be
discussed/renegotiated with client before production starts)
As a group, we discussed about when we should shoot the fourth ident as we needed to more editing in terms of using the software Adobe Photoshop for retroscoping the idents to make it look more interesting for the target audience that we are trying to appeal to.
Team-working; (weekly team log of contributions and management of the production)
As a team, we made sure that we got the fourth ident done since Lawrence and James will need to start editing the suite of idents to ensure that they met the deadline of 26th May which it needed to be on Weebly where it should be finished along with the written reports that are on our blogs as well.
19th May 2017
On this day, the group had post-production where James had finished with his part of the editing by making sure that the suite of idents were in stop motion and after he had done this, he gave all of the stop-motion footage to Lawrence so he should start retroscoping the four idents although we disscused about improving the written work for next week's deadline.
Meeting deadlines; (weekly diary of progress to schedule)
In terms of meeting the deadlines, we are on schedule to meeting the required deadline of Friday 26th May 2017 where all of the work needed to be handed in.
Quality management; (meeting to discuss the production quality and
fitness for purpose of each of the idents - what will be
discussed/renegotiated with client before production starts)
As I said above on the introduction, we discussed about improving the report of Task 2B as before we got an NYA grade for this so we looked at other groups' work of how they did this and we took note of this and how we can improve our work.
Team-working; (weekly team log of contributions and management of the production)
I would say that the team knew what needed to be done in terms of the work being handed in on time to meet the deadline for next week.
Friday 26th May 2017
On this occassion, we had got all of the wrriten work from task one to four of Unit 5/32: Working To An Brief and Ident Production done by putting it on Weebly by which it did include the improvement of the report of Task 2B over the week where as before, we got an NYA Grade for this. Although there was an slight change of plan of handing in Task 5 and 6 in which, it did included the suite of idents as well as Mr Barton had told us on Wednesday that he wanted it done by the 9th of June.
Meeting deadlines; (weekly diary of progress to schedule)
As a team, we made sure that the work that we have done for both of the units was done and put on Weebly for our teacher to see so he can mark the work over the half-term and since the deadline for the suite of idents had changed, we are still on schedule to hand in the work.
Quality management; (meeting to discuss the production quality and
fitness for purpose of each of the idents - what will be
discussed/renegotiated with client before production starts)
I would say that the quality management was completely good as we didn't have any problems with the work (Task 2B) that needed to be handed in since we had improved it over the last weekend and during the week as well.
Team-working; (weekly team log of contributions and management of the production)
As the editing work was still going on, Lawrence and James are working together to get it done before the 9th June deadline in which myself and Rosie would check up to see how they are getting with it and seeing if they needed some extra help so the team's chemistry was there during this day and everyone knew what they are doing exactly.
