Action Plan and Progress Report 22/03/2010- 28/03/2010

Progress Report

This week we managed to edit the footage and decreased the timing by 20 seconds, though we do need to review the footage and cut it down to by 15 seconds to reach the allocated 2:10 seconds, as stated in the brief. On a positive note, we added typography such as the institutional logo, the coming soon logo and the title logo. Interestingly, we created the title logo ' SCREWED' and thought of a catchy pun ' No lubrication needed', which was humorous indeed. Also, we managed to import various sound effects to go alongside the title logo. Finally, we managed to get our last scene of Ms Dixon completed, when she says ' Next'. Though the next did get cut off when we captured it on the timeline, but we managed to edit the previous sound and shot the dialogue again and meticulously fitted it alongside that scenes in the timeline.

Personally, I bought the copy of Cosmo magazine, but I chose not to use it, as the article was not suited for the interview, so I opted to go for Esquire,as the Leonardo Di Caprio interview was best suited for the second feature. Furthermore, I started on the copy of the feature and gave an overview of Monica, as exemplified in the Di Caprio feature. Also, I managed to write the copy of Monica and her life in the movies. In terms of imaged, I photographed the lead actress and used a sepia effect, as suggested by Mr Bush, to create a legendary effect, similar to Leonardo Di Caprio in the Esquire feature. In order to create a Hollywood effect, I photographed Monica lying on a chair, to add to the glamour, which is typical in magazines such as Esquire.

Action Plan

For next week, we need to record the crucial voice over for trailer, as it is iconic in teen comedy films. Collectively, we suggested Rajneet should do the voice over, as she is best suited, as she has the voice required for the trailer. Most importantly, we need to trim the shots to reach the 2:10 seconds, we should consider positioning the shots in order to get the' laughs' form the audience. We need to find the sound effect for when Monica gets pregnant, something funny or possibly dramatic???

In terms of my second feature for the magazine, I need to finish off the copy within the features and just finish of the pictures in order for them to look more professional and have a sepia effect.

Progress Report and Action Plan - Fuad

Progress Report
Basically now, we have officailly completed all filming.

In terms if Editing, our challenge was to, cut 35 seconds of footage, but we were only able to cut only 20 seconds, so we have 15 seconds left. So our aim for the following days is to cut certain shots and make them shorter, if that doesnt work, then I'm afraid we'll have to cut a whole scene from our trailer.

The film trailer name has been designed, imported and edited into our trailer, with sound effects.

Action Plan

I need to find a sound effect for the scene where monica finds out she is pregnant.

RECORD VOICE OVER !

Monday 22 March 2010

Fuad'S UPDATE

Well, basically, our production is come along very well actually, the songs and order of everything has been put in place. A lot of editing has been put in and the music boosted the quality of our trailer.

NEXT STEPS
>>>> I need to import sounds that will be put in between song changes, to back a trailer flow better

>>>> Film the last bit of filming! with Ms Dixon in the hall on Tuesday 22nd March

>>>> CUT 35seconds worth of footage from a trailer for it to be 2minutes 10 seconds

>>>> Write and Record Voice-over for the trailer, so people understand our trailer

Progress Report

Well, this week we managed to edit our footage to a very productive standard I may say. We managed to import songs such as My Humps and managed to organise the positioning and timing of the scenes that we needed. Whats more, we successfully managed to create the PRIME TIMES PRODUCTION logo , as well as the SCREWED logo using a typical high school font. In addition, I managed to create some typography of a extracted quote from a magazine,which is a typical convention of teen comedy trailers. Hopefully, we should be able to film the remaining scenes such as Monica's mum's scene and Ms Dixon's scene . Also, we managed to trim the scenes and import five songs, which need to be positioned and edited.Personally, I managed to complete the first draft of the EMPIRE two page feature, which is of a n interview with Monica. However, I still need to change the background, although the text and images and captions are justified and suitable. Furthermore, I really need to buy a Cosmopolitan magazine for the next feature of an interview about Monica's life in the movies.

Action Plan

For next week, we need to have positioned the five songs within the trailer and edited the middle of the trailer and improved the lighting in some of the scenes. Furthermore, we need to capture Ms Dixon's and Monica's mum's scenes in the trailer, so that we can edit other parts to meet time constraints with the brief. Most importantly, our footage is at 3:00 minutes, so we need to cut it down to the 2:00 minute stage which is mandatory in the exam brief. In terms of the print production, I need to buy a Cosmopolitan magazine and choose relevant fonts and images for the interview with the lead character. Also, I need to continue editing and add more typography in the trailer, which will make it look more authentic.

Progress Report- Fuad Ashor

Okay this week has been quite good actually we completed most of the things we had to do and now is just about making a trailer flow nicely WITH THE MUSIC FLOWING NICELY TOO.
Also I kinde put the footage on the timeline in order and next to each and its 3 mintes long, we have to cut 1 minute of footage which will be tragic for me.

We have to more scenes to film and this FILMING IS FINISHED
One with Miss Dixon and the other with Monica and her mum

POSSIBLE TITLE LOGOS FOR OUR TRAILER

PARMINDER MATHARU

This logo could be chnaged in terms of colour and form. Guys, this font- Jersey Letters is suitable for our trailer, as it relates to the stereotypical genre of teen comedy



This logo is ALLSTARS and could be included within our trail and for other simialr typography within the trailer



We could opt to use this font- Varsity for the trailer, however we could alter the thickness of the line and decide on which particlar solid colour to choose.

i think this was the best week in terms of team work and getting the work done. it's a shame we have not gelled together, but i have personally managed to see the benefits when we do work together. this week more editing was done, filming was done, and each one of us has more or less started our second magazine feature.

my self and fuad have stayed numerous times during lunch and after school to film and edit. i fully understand if other subjects take priority, but just the little message of letting each other know were they are- would drastically improve our pace. also, parminder you have stated that we have not yet made the 'primetime logo's'- please do help us and actually asks what needs doing, as fuad has made them and i have imported them in the sequences.

action plan

firstly, we need to get all the little shots done. these are minor shots although will enhance our production drastically.

secondly, we should finish editing in the next week or so- this will included a TEAM EFFORT

lastly, we should each finish our draft, and attempt to progress with our second magazine feature.

Progress Report

This week, we managed to achieve quite a lot. In terms of shooting, we allocated certain shots whilst editing and managed to re shoot the 3 bitches scene, including Anaam, Rosie and Chandni. Also, we progressed in terms of editing, as we captured the footage from the re shot scenes and other scenes such as Zack's audition and managed to film other scenes such as Rajneet's scenes, Monica coming off the train and Monica crossing the zebra crossing frantically. Similarly, we managed to shoot the classroom scene and similar scenes. Also, I managed to get sounds and songs for the trailer which were suitable. In addition, we created some institutional information for the trailer.Personally, I managed to start my print production using the EMPIRE magazine features as a template. Effectively, I managed to extract film stills from the trailer and started on the copy of the magazine, as my double page spread is based around an interview with Monica, who plays Jenny.

Action Plan

For next week, as a group we intend to resume editing by sorting out what more sounds we need, such as sound effects. Also, need to create the Prime Times Production institutional logo and title logo. Furthermore, we need to complete filming ASAP, so that we can spend time editing.Hopefully, we should have the Ting Tings song available to add in our timeline within the trailer, as it did not play. We should aim to complete 3 scenes a day or more if we do have time. Personally, I need to complete the print production first draft by finishing the copy and deciding on backgrounds and taking photographs of the lead actress. The magazine should look authentic, so I will decide where to arrange photos. Most importantly, I need to find a double page spread on a comedy film, as the template and designs will come of use to me.

Sunday 7 March 2010

FUAD'S UPDATE

Filming has been neither here nor there, but things are moving on slowly and we're getting some filming done, we have about 30% of filming done, which is unfortunatly the most important scenes of the whole trialer.

We will be filming all this week from March 8th to March 13th.

Then by March 16th we will be hopefully be editing for 3 weeks without worrying about filming...hopefully!

Progress Report and Action Plan 1/3/2010-5/3/2010

PARMINDER MATHARU

Progress Report

This week we managed to capture all of our footage from both of the tapes onto Adobe Premiere. In addition to this, we managed to log some of the footage from the first tape and began to decide what scenes to capture and which were deemed suitable. On a positive note, we decided to re shoot the scene with the three girls outside the E block, as the previous scene had poor lighting and the sound was muffled. We also managed to film additional scenes such as the office scene with Sheila and the scene with Kashif and Monica.We startder editing the footage, which we need to complete. This week has been partly productive, as we captured all the footage and began re shooting scenes and shooting other scnes that we needed.

Action Plan

For the following few days and next week, we need to urgently complete the rest of the logging of the tapes, so that we can resume shooting the remainder of the scenes or re shoot some scenes such as Ms Dixons' scene if necessary. Also, we need to film more scenes outside of school, such as in Monica's house or Rajneet's house, for the scene with her mother.

Collectively, we need to gather music and sounds for the editing of our film trailer, so that we can decide what music is best suited and where the music needs to be sorted. Similarly, we should consider the title logos and institutional logo, as well as the film's caption, which could be a pun.

In regards to print production, I need to extract some film stills from our footage, such as the still with mica walking away from Rosie and Sanjay, the office scene and other stills for the magazine double page feature. As well as this, I need to take photos of cast members such as the protagonist, the helper, the geek, the jock and other characters in a variety of poses.
