Blogging Health Check 1

Dilara, there is evidence of some very good work on your blog which suggests you have lots of potential and could do very well in this part of the coursework.  Please can you reflect on my comments regarding strengths and less strong aspects of your current blog as it is at the minute and then complete the to do list at the bottom. If you can do this, I expect your mark and grade to increase considerably.  Lots of promise here - well done!

strengths:
- some posts completed - mostly up to date
- some detail in independent posts which is promising
- some good evidence of research

less strong:
-time management - frequency of posting and order of the tasks is a little inconsistent
- reliance on text to present ideas
- titles for the blog tasks aren't always clear

to do:
1. complete all research tasks as we move into the planning phase
2. keep up with the planning check list and try to complete tasks as we cover them in class or as soon as possible afterward
3. try to keep posts in chronological order
4. consider presentation - think of creative ways to use ICT to present your work and ideas on the blog (emaze, powtoon, kizoa, slideshare, vlogs, soundcloud, voki etc...)

22. Initial Idea.

Initial Idea.

- walk in walk out style.
- social groups that are opposites (popular vs unpopular)
- 4 people getting ready for school, different life styles to reflect their social class and hierarchy in school.

Research:

   

1. Four different people, the camera shows how each of them get ready in the morning. This process reflects their personality
- by the "nerdy" unpopular students not being on time and having to rush to get ready.
- the popular and socially independant students waking up early and allowing enough time to spend on getting ready
- popular students not being part of the rest of the schools atmosphere because they dont share the same interests, so stick to just them selves.

2. Establishing shot to show that the film would be mainly based in a school.
3. The two groups would meet in the hallway/canteen.
4. The groups would have a 'glare-off' then walk in separate directions.

21. Blogging health check

After getting feedback from my teacher and also checked my progress, I was told that I have a good amount of detail in each individual post, however I am behind on some. Such as posting more frequently or spending as much time as I am recommended on media. 

The group work that Group 9 and I produce is also good however, just as before, there is a deficiency of how many posts there are which can be a problem when the coursework is being marked. 

My advantages:

- good amount of written work

- detailed work

- evidence of research 

- a lot of visual work

My disadvantages:

- shortage of posts

- not posting on a regular basis

14. Sub-genre conventions

Filming 4

This was a very successful day, we filmed Bilal's character Derek in Dilara's House we filmed him waking up and getting dressed. However over the week when we had to film our school scenes we faced a problem where Bilal had shaved his beard and therefore we had to refilm. We refilmed all of Bilal's parts in order to make sure that our title sequence had continuity and looked seamless. 

Filming part 3

This was also a successful day where we filmed in Martyna's school, we had filmed great shots in Martyna's school however we had a few issues with the camera and footage and due to rushing we found out that all our shots were blurry, therefore we refilmed in Dilara's secondary school, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson which had more space and had better lighting.

Filming part 2

We filmed Dilara in Martyna's room as Martyna's room is quite small which is ideal for Dilara's character. We had filmed all our shots however when we came back to college we realized the ND filter was on and all the shots were dark we then had to refilm the shots of Dilara however we decided to do this at her house instead.
