Next Lesson

After our visit to the site we now needed to create a Gantt chart and tidy up our presentation slide, in order to show any progression made.



Talk About-

Equipment (cost and buying)
Date we were planning to film
Restrictions
Gantt Chart

On-site at Skidz

Resolving Issues and developing progress

After our presentation Dave had spoken to us about the problems and why the he was disappointed with the presentation (He wasn't the only one). He pointed out a couple of things:

• No storyboard
• No Gantt Chart
• Little Risk Assessment
• Whether filming Kids was a good option.

We did explain that we had just got confirmation for filming at Skidz. We took these points on board and decided that we would not film with kids.

We were unable to create a Gantt chart and have a storyboard because we hadn't been on site yet. So we decided that the on the weekend we would visit, take photos and book the place in order to get some progression.

Project Proposal

Set Back!

As we only had the green light from the Go Karting place to film a day before we needed to do a Project Proposal this meant we had to scramble to get a presentation done. I managed to create some slides on Prezi but was unsure as to what we needed.

I found it difficult to make a prezi on my own with only basic knowledge of film, and had no knowledge so far as to what was arranged with the Go Karting place. I did the best I could with what i had and reminded Solomon and Sam that we had to do a presentation the next day.

Presentation Day

I arrived at uni an hour before the presentation was due to be done, We also had to do a group meeting  for another class for half an hour. We sat down in the group and expanded on the presentation I had created. I tried to include a Gantt chart but we hadn't booked the place yet. 

Short Story-

The presentation was a mess and didn't go as well as i'd hoped, my body language had spoken for itself. I was quite annoyed that no-one had made their own (solomon and sam) in order for us to have more information and be better prepared for the presentation.

Ideas

The group consisted of me, Solomon and Sam.

Solomon is experienced with filming

I am experienced with Stills 

Sam has got some experience in both

Ideas

Me and Solomon came up with several ideas, we wanted to do something exciting like filming some sort of Sport. These are the suggestions :

• WaterSports

           - Scuba Diving

           - Sailing

           - Surfing

• Archery
• Go Karting
• Dirt Biking
• Music Orchestra

At the time these seemed like viable ideas that we could carry out, but we needed to set a date and check for permission. I was in charge of finding out about watersports. When I checked I was told that it wasn't the right time to go Scuba Diving or Sailing as it was in cold conditions and weather permitted. As we have a set time to finish this assignment we decided that Watersports was not an option, even though i had found someone to agree to go Surfing. 

Solomon was in charge of finding out about Go Karting and archery. He managed to get permission from the Go karting, a day before our project proposal was set by. We had little time left and so we decided since we had permission for Go karting we'd run with that one. 

As Solomon was getting confirmation, we made the suggestion that we may want to film with kids on the Go Karting track. Sam said that he would make the permission forms.
