Weekly progress

 Here is my weekly progress.

Week two:
- Introduced to the brief.
Week three:
- Researched and analysed ads. We learned about demographic and psychographics and analysed each of the ads based on the target audience.

- Camera angles and movements (made a video). My partner was Rachelle and we made a short video featuring the Jenga game.
- Started researching for the storyboard. I’m planning on making my storyboard based on Nike.
Week four:
- Learning about mise-en-scene. It was interesting to see that so many different elements fall under this category. Before I learned about this, I didn’t really consider that it was such an important element in evoking emotions in the audience.
- We did some target analysis research for storyboard project. This will definitely come in handy to decide certain elements for my storyboard.

Week five:

- Learning about sound (diegetic and non-diegetic)

- Learned how to storyboard.

Week six:

- Did analysis of A Quiet Place clip.

- Learned about edits.

- Started our storyboards.

Week seven:

- Unit test (camera angles and movements).

- Working on storyboard draft (I was still confused about what to do for the scenes in the middle of my storyboard but brainstormed some ideas with Mr Nick).

- Another text analysis. 

Week eight:

- I started working on my final storyboard. I think it will take quite some time to finish as I forgot to consider the pacing of the frames beforehand. So far, I’ve done only 6 frames so I definitely have to do some work at home.

- I also started doing the detailed self reflection which was alright but it also forced me to see the flaws in my storyboard plan.

- I also started my brief presentation for the storyboard project. 

Week nine: 

- We have been introduced to the Effects Theories. So far, we’ve only learned about the passive side of the theories. I think it isn’t too hard to understand however I probably will have a hard time remembering the names of the theorists.

- We are also still working on our final storyboard. I think my time management might be a problem but that's alright, I’ll work hard on it during the weekend! I’m thinking of changing some frames of the storyboard to portray the strength of women.

Week ten:

- I finished finalising my storyboard, made annotations and also finished making my critical self reflection presentation. I worked on it largely throughout the weekend but managed to finish it on time (which I am very proud of).

Reflection:

I think keeping track of my process by using this weekly progress post actually helped me stay ogranised as I know what part of the project I have already completed. This saved me some time so I didn’t need to keep checking all my files to see what I have already done. Next time, I will make the weekly progress more detailed as I didn’t understand it’s importance at first.
