Production Diary

Assets
when I say assets i mean stuff like video clips, footage, music, pictures and animation. The video clips I was able to get off the Internet with legal rights under the critical claims act, same goes for music. A great deal of the pictures I created myself on my computer as well as the animation, this is easy to see when comparing it to my other works.

Camera Angle and Framing
The camera angle and framing remained consistent throughout the video as there was no need for any other shot. the framing had to be adjusted slightly though each take as a bit of the edge of the green screen was showing, but I managed to fix this.

Logistics
equipment was provided by the college and personnel and crew were other students as named in the credits. there was no need to sign things out except on one occasion where i had to rent out a microphone to take home.

Creative Processes
the creative process behind this was complex, it was put off schedule by the fact i couldn't decide just what to review, a Ralph Bakshi film or yellow submarine, and if i went with a Bakshi film then which one, i was stirring more towards 'Cool World' because of its complex history, but in the end i went with yellow submarine because i know it well and had lots to say about it.

Project Management
when it came to working to deadlines i managed to keep to the timetable (fairly) but i did have to put alot of hard graft work in, including coming in twice on days off. this was due to editing and exporting, something i managed to do in good time. the pictures and animations i managed to do when i said i would as i started earlier in anticipation.

Risk Management
all risks were accounted for and measurements taken for them, wires were kept clear from main areas and safety gloves wear worn for the cameras

Crisis Management
I was made aware of a crisis in my filming, the fact that it was all missing, this meant that i had to redo the filming of my in my jacket with a shorter crew, but a lucky break came when we got a better room and also we found the equipment already set up from a class that used it before we got there, so we didn't have to waste time setting up the green screen. After this mishap I made sure I had all of my clips where I knew they was.

Maintaining Documentation.
All documents were kept in there own file or on the desktop in plain sight, this made sure that I had no trouble finding the files, until I logged in on someone Else's account. Paper files were kept in my bag.

Editing Decisions
When it came to editing a great deal went into this thing, it was not easy I can tell you. When it came to it had to edit down alot from the final draft, it used pictures from Google images, animation from my own hand and alot of green screens which meant for a lot of keying, the art or removing the green and replacing it with my own back ground. This went for my animations as well.

Export Choice and Upload
When it comes to exported I had to choose h.264/mp4/720p. then upload it to youtube so it had a permanent residence. That way I had access to it if all else was lost.
