diary of progress

I began the project by writing the story board, the script and sorted out cast and crew, decided to go with my friends, I gave out time schedules and scripts and waited responses on facebook,

Then I did the budget, overall cost was 78p and this was for parts for the props. The equipment list and the risk assessment was checked and rechecked as well as the location to make sure it was safe enough for others to use without risk of injury, sorted out location plans and schedule. Looked over again and made sure that it left plenty of time for editing and things of that nature.

Afterwards I did risk assessment on area, the area was my kitchen in my house, did all research and treatment and location plans.

Then I made contingency plan and the rest of the items on the list of things i had to do such as finding similar videos to mine and making reviews and getting opinions, the opinions came from they're comments from other people who watched the film. This left a good quality of reviews for me to look at, making it easy to find out others opinions on the videos.

After that I had to follow through with contingency plan after original failed, the reason was that neither me or my friends were able to show up at a good date after we all had plans made before ours,

When that was done I began animation using paint and windows movie maker, took roughly 3 weeks to finish my work but in the end and through much hardship i finished it in enough time to accommodate the editing and publishing.

Afterwards I reviewed similar music video's to mine and saw how they worked and how they attracted people in to make it so well known, such as the use of colour and filming techniques to make it some you would expect from this type of band.

Then I cut out scenes which were no longer needed after contingency plan came into action, the reason was that neither me or my friends were able to show up at a good date after we all had plans made before ours, while i was still able to use there images in the video thanks to there due consent it was still a task getting a new plan ready.

Then I made sure all sound was in alignment with animation so far, it is a very important thing to make sure that the animation fits whats going on, a little mistake could be dangerous to the overall project making it look slapped together.

After that I made sure all work done so far was ready so i would receive no nasty surprises in the near future, because thinking that your done and then finding out you had something important left to do is a very bad feeling and not a pleasant experience for you or your teacher.

Then I got angry at computer for being slow, it was running a lot of thing `and made going slow, i was frustrated because i had to work on it but was unable to because of it poor working and was lucky to save what i had, I nearly smashed computer due to frustration of it running slow when i needed to work fast.

Then I overcame the frustration and calmed down and carried on working after taking a break and letting things slow down a little, i had only a little left to do and was able to finish it in time for the due date and for it to be viewed by the teacher.

I made evaluation of the video so far, only had a little bit more to do and it was done, i made sure to include the important role the use of colour played in this as it did indeed have a large part in this short film.

I finished the video after roughly 3 weeks of labour and continuos work, it made for a lot of hardship and toil but i managed to make it in the end.

I turned in video to Joda Allen, she watched it out loud in class and was pleased with the results.
