Reflection on development stage
Wednesday 23rd September 2015 - 10:50 Present: Kloe , Rochelle , Darnell & Shakur
In the development stage we have completed everything that we needed to complete to meet the deadline during this meeting we discuss certain things on what we did we to complete it together as a group and talked about things we could have done as individuals in order to make the outcome better.
Kloe said her two negatives were that she considers herself being a bossy person and she would like to control that and that she loses focus on topic a lot so she would like to control that also. As a group we said her two positives were she is a good leader and helps as she makes sure that everyone is up to date with their work, another positive is that she is very active within communication
Rochelle said her two negatives were that she is a bit slow with work so she admits to taking her time and also that she doesn't trust in her decision even if their good one. As a group we said her positives were that she takes charge which is need when in a group and also that she is creative which is good when it comes to how things look visually
Darnell said the development stage was decent and feels that he should be more confident when it comes to saying/ expressing his ideas. He also thinks the tasks were okay but the amount of it on one page and making it look presentable was tricky.
Shakur said that he should be be more descriptive when describing his ideas to the group also he should communicate in the group chat more than he does. His two positives are that he works hard to meet the deadlines and create good work.

reflection on Pre production stage
Wednesday 14th October 2015 - 10:50 Present: Rochelle, Darnell & Shakur ... Kloe (Absent)
In the Pre production stage we really got a chance to see where the individuals in our groups talents were , we completed everything we need to in order to move on to production, during this meeting we discuss how everyone found their individual tasks and what they feel they could have done to make it better and what were their strengths and weaknesses that got us through Pre production.
Rochelle said overall print design was good she enjoyed creating posters and magazine and exploring different fields in order to produce a layout that could potentially be used and build up to our final. She did mention that she was confused at first with how to set up the digital draft and how they should look but managed to complete it to a good standard towards the end
Darnell said at the start of storyboard and animatics it was a struggle to think of the scenes without it becoming repetitive, however it was easy using premiere compared to what he thought, he did say he would like make the images from the storyboard to look more realistic.
Shakur said that his moodboards were challenging as his skills on Photoshop are limited, he thought the style of the moodboards became quite repetitive. However he still managed to meet the deadline and create 8 moodboards.

Production Stage meeting #1Monday 19th October 2015 2:50pm
Present; Rochelle, Shakur, Darnell and Kloe During this stage, we all chose the roles we would like to do for our production stage. Rochelle - Rochelle decided to pick make up as she thought it was the most suitable role for her as she watches make up tutorials often and she did it in the summer as her summer work. Darnell - Darnell chose location because he believes he has the key skills to do this role, such as being organised and he liked the look of the location. Shakur - Shakur chose to be the cameraman as he knew little information about cameras and wanted to expand his knowledge of it. Also he prefers to be behind the camera rather than in the front. Kloe - Kloe chose sound because she studies music tech and she thought this would be most suitable for her. |
pre production feedbackWednesday 21st October 2015 - 10:50 Present: Shakur, Rochelle, Darnell & Kloe
Since our last meeting we got a chance to get feedback on our work from pre production while we are in the middle of production, so we decided to focus this meeting is based on the feedback of the pre production stage because we are up to date with everyone's progression in production. Shakur said that his moodboards needed more manipulation techniques and it should look more visually engaging. Also the layout of the page should look more presentable. Rochelle needed to annotate and reposition her work. Kloe has to add an introduction and make the work look more visually pleasing. Darnell needs to add an introduction and make the captions more interesting as well as creating a photo animatic and photo board as well. |

Monday 23rd/30th November 2015
Present:
Kloe, Darnell, Rochelle Shakur
Nighoutinc need to discuss when we are going to film the rest of our trailer as we are lacking shots. We have all decided Wednesdays as we all finish early and believe this is a suitable time. For the final production construction we decided that Darnell and Shakur would edit the trailer because Darnell did the story animatic and Shakur did the camera work so he is familiar with all the shots. Rochelle decided to do the poster because she did print design in the pre-production stage and she explored different layouts for the poster. Kloe decided to chose the magazine because her grade for the magazine last year was good and she felt confident that she had the skills to do this.

fiNAL PRODUCTS REVIEWMonday 4th January 2016
Shakur says he likes the shots that are in the trailer however he didn't like the ways the captions were presented at first. Darnell felt when creating the trailer time management was keep as nearer to the end it became intense. Rochelle I like how busy the poster is as it is very artistic "pushed out the boat" demonstrated my photoshop skills. Changes i could make are the colour scheme and possibly the font used on for the main coverline. Kloe says she is proud of her magazine as she liked the structure however she wants to swap the picture... |
