Research & Planing (Plan) - Seun
This essay is an essay that is going to help me in preparation for the exam and how I am going to improve my research and planing for SETNews247 on the mistakes of my AS coursework and group "Creak Productions".
In Year 12 what I noticed about the performance in the my past groups research and planing was the blog; this was due to the lack of posts in general, the timing of the posts, the quality of posts and me personally not knowing how to use the online software application. This is not a good sign looking from an examiners point of view because this shows a lack of organisation and flaws in my groups time management, so for year 13 I believe the best approach would be to do my research and planning early and space out the posts on the blog, as this will show professionalism, good organisation and time management in my group. I would also recommend looking at videos to modify posts and the actual theme of the blog to promote branding, this will help me and my group to help distinguish our group from others and make our news more unique than other news packages. In AS Level I also had a hard time embedding files like music from garage band and animations/ videos from adobe premier elements and after effects onto the actual blog itself, as it used to be time consuming. To counteract this I believe that I should learn the HTML javascript code that is used to embed file onto the blog, so that i could understand the syntax errors that are going on.
Another problem that I noticed with my group was time management as this affected the posts and the actual quality of the work. I believe that the main reason was time management because we left everything to the last minute leaving shooting to the last minute and blog posts where unorganised an posted all at one time. For year 13 I believe that the best approach would be to do all the work that I can possibly do as fast as possible so that I could get feedback as soon as possible in order to improve the blog. This will boost my level as I will be improving my work one post at a time, and post about how i am doing this making my grade increase.
The next problem that I encountered was the storyboard as my group never completed we could not get passed a certain level. I believe that this was one of the main reasons why our research and planning was low. Having no storyboard for year 12 had a big impact as my group had nothing to follow so the narrative of the story kept changing lesson by lesson A way to tackle this problem in year 13 would be to attack the most important the most important tasks first because if you leave them to someone else or at the last minute, the quality could be poor or there could be no work at all. I would also recommend me doing the storyboard and other tasks on different formats like padlet, emaze or thing link.
The other problem with the planning was organising the props too late . This was a major problem as the shooting schedule was pushed back due to the lack of organisation of props therefore pushing other important tasks back like editing the actual opening sequence, ident, background music and evaluation. To avoid this problem in year 13 would be to plan the actual idea so that it will be easy to find or buy props. Props are essential as it shows the mis-en-scene in a scene or character, having barely any props would make a film pretty basic. So if I increase the quality and quantity then the quality of the opening sequence would have been better as we would have been able to do more detailed shootings.
The final problem with the research was the macs and application on installed onto the PC. First of all research was so hard to complete due to the slow internet. This means that if the internet is not working, then I cannot search the web and if I cannot search the web, then I cannot research online meaning I would have to find some offline alternative which could be frustrating. Secondly the Adobe applications on the Apple Macs where difficult to use so I had problems editing because of this. To tackle this problem for year 13, I will have to carry on my research onto my personal computer at home because the internet is better there and I will have to check you tube tutorials on the various adobe workshop applications, so that I will have an easier and more efficient time using them.
