Friday 9th January
Today we contacted the actors we needed for our title sequence to make sure they will all be ready to film on Monday. We also reviewed our title sequence storyboard and changed some of the ideas (e.g. The wall scene).
Monday 19th January
Today we planned out which pictures we were going to use for our title sequence and when we were going to go out and film it.
Friday 23rd January
Today we looked through our footage and worked out what we needed to film next, when we would film it to make sure that we would be able to get it done on time.
Monday 26th January
Today we put together what we already had of our soap opera and are going to add the rest of the clips as we get them.
friday 30th January
Today we all worked on our title sequence and added the footage that Sofia and Freezer had filmed.
Thursday 5th February
Today we put our title sequence together with the new music and started work on putting our soap opera together.
Wednesday 4th February
Today we continued working on our title sequence song but found it very difficult. In the end Adam stayed behind and finished it.
Friday 30th January
Today we decided to change the music for our title sequence and started to put together a song on garageband.
Thursday 29th January
Today we continued our work on the title sequence and finished putting the clips together with the music. This proved quite difficult at times as we had to make sure that the title sequence didn't look jumpy.

Wednesday 28th January
Today me and Hollie worked on the Macs starting our title sequence. We finished most of it although we did find it quite difficult getting the music to fit together with the clips. While we did this Sofia and Freezer went off to do some more filming.
Monday 9th February
Today we Hollie went home to film for the first lesson while the rest of the group continued to edit what we had. When Hollie came back we added and edited the clip that she had filmed and finished our soap opera. I feel that this worked very well as the clip fitted in with the rest of the soap opera.

Today we had to edit out footage from the Bill workshop into a professional looking scene. We had to use the different shots and close ups of different characters. We encountered some problems such as a glitch in the tape and problems with volume level.
12/01/09
Today we worked on getting ready to film our soap opera. We made sure that every member of the group had their own task. We then considered the health and safety issues of what we are going to be filming and we decided what days we will film in order to make sure that all our actors will be able to film.

The Bill Clip
A nicely crafted clip Keeley, with some nice shots. Make sure you don't always rely on two shots when perhaps a medium shot or close up of one character might work better.

Workshop and Location Photos
Hi Keeley
Blog is looking much better and perhaps you could rename the video links to make it clearer what they are. Make sure you upload The Bill video you have completed and your photos from the location scouts you did today.

Workshop Review
On Wednesday 7th January the media student from Bishop Chandler came over to our college to do a workshop with some people who work in the media. The first thing we had to do for this workshop was an activity where we had to split into two groups and where each took a card. We then had to put ourselves in order without showing people our card but by using our tone and volume of voice. We then did the same thing but had to show other people our cards not looking at then ourselves, we then had to guess our card by the tone of other people's voices. I think this part of the day was very helpful as it showed me the importance of how things are said and tone of voice in media.
After doing this a few students were called up to act out a scene from the Bill while the two who worked in the media told them what to do and how to improve the way it looked. I think this was very helpful as it gave us an idea of the different camera shots we could use (e.g. master-shot) it also showed us how to direct and act etc.
We then separated into groups and had to film the scene ourselves. We gave each-other roles for the filming (e.g. Directing, Co- directing, acting, filming) so that nobody was left without anything to do. Because our group finished a lot earlier than the other groups we filmed the scene quite a few times and swapped everyones roles each time. Although I was a little worried about the fact that we finished so much earlier than everyone I do think that it was a good thing because everyone had an opportunity to do each job and find out what we are best at. On the last period of the day one of the visitors who work in media went through each line with our group and showed the actors how they could improve their performances.
The very last activity that we took part in was a question and answer with the visitors so that we could ask them what we wanted to know about working in the media industry. I think that this was one of the most useful parts of the day because I found a lot of useful information about working in media.

Today we did a workshop with the media class from bishop chandler. We were put into groups and had to act out a script from the bill. We finished quite quickly so we swapped the roles around so we each had the oppertunity to act, direct, film etc.
