CWC IDENT + EVALUATION



Evaluation:

Whilst being introduced to Task 6 by Sue, she had told the students of the class to get into 2's and form pairs. From then on, Me and Idris had decided to get in pairs and then began to discuss ideas and after a few brief moments, we had come to a conclusion to entertain the idea of implementing a more creative aspect to the other ideas we had been previously contemplating.

Most Proud of:

The aspects of our City of Westminster College indent that were most pleasing was the fact that I had spontaneously thought of the creative and imaginative approach of it which had derived from this inventive yet elementary idea. It had came across as a versatile concept because of the all the various applications that were possible for us to engage with.

Disappointed By:

Whilst Mike had commented extremely positively concerning our idea, Sue had brought to our attention of the missing part of the jigsaw. We were too focused on its creativity that we had forgot to assign the colours of the City of Westminster College logo.

Short Film 'Money' - Storyboard


Production Schedule



Date
Activity
22-04-2013



Pre-production
Our initial idea was to create a religious concept for our narrative. We developed the idea further by studying different types of ways that religion disagrees with criminal activities, and how it can affect your faith.  We then decided to create the main point of the film, which is that people should not be regarded by their religion, but rather who they are; since depending on the sort of person you are you can still become influenced by money and the people around you. Our short film is inspired by the film ‘Fish Tank’ and also the music video of the artist K Koke ‘Turn Back’.
24-04-2013
After discussing our ideas, we successfully developed our idea further by introducing characters and developing the scenes of our short film. We constructed a plot that the group agreed on. On this day we also managed to assign the paper work, and these are the following roles that were assigned:

Idris:  Risk assessment, Production Schedule, Crew List
Ousama: Director, Editor, Writer and Actor
Omid: Inspiration Board, DA’1st
Ash: Storyboard, cue sheet, equipment list and cinematographer
Bilal: Character Synopsis and Cast list
Priscenya: Actress
24-04-2013



The group then began to complete the paper-work. We made the risk assessment including all of the possible risks which might occur during the recordings.  
29-04-2013


The group then made a production schedule, and also collected the contact information of the crews phone numbers and emails. In our production we had to switch roles for the writer since the original person who was assigned to the task couldn't complete it in time. So Ousama had to adopt the role and create the screenplay of the scenes.
01-05-2013



Recording
On this day we began to record the outside scenes for our short film. Ash the cameraman, managed to capture the footage of the scenes using the screenplay as the guide. Throughout this day we managed to record all the outside scenes.
02-05-2013


On this day Ousama and Priscenya came back to the college in order to finish the last scene of when she leaves the house. They also had to get permission to use the studio.  The re-recording of the audio for the scenes also took place.
03-04-2013



                       Post Production
After finishing all of our paper work, Ousama edited the short film on Sony Vegas Pro. We chose to use Sony Vegas Pro to edit the short film because it allows us to edit quickly and to add colour grading. He also used Audacity to sound mix the audio, because it was too noisy.
15-05-2013
   Reviewing Work
On this day the group had to go over the work we had done, checking that enough content was in them. Idris had to add more to the Risk Assessment and Ash had to rewrite the Call Sheet. The work was also reviewed by Ousama, to check that all the content was valid and by making sure it was up to standard. 
20-05-2013
Evaluation
After we completed all of our production and pre-production work, we had to reflect on what our roles were and how we developed our ideas in detail, how we feel the production stages went, the strengths and weaknesses of our video, and if we thought our production succeeded our expectations.
