Production log 6

What progress did you make since your previous entry?
Since my last entry i have recorded all the voice overs for my documentary, i have also downloaded all the music and the archive footage that i needed for the documentary. I have also managed to get all of the editing done. I also managed to put the cuts in between the archive footage to make it have a bit of style to it. I final also added transitions between each shot so that they flow together more than just having none at all.

What logistical challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?
The logistical challenges that I faced was that I did not know what to say or how to introduce the people that was being interviewed through voice over, however I asked my teacher to give me a rough idea of what i could say and went from there.

What technical challenges did you face this week and how did you overcome them?
Some technical challenges that I faced this week was with the graphic's of people's names and the title there was not on the screen for long enough which meant that i had to go on to live type and make the time longer and export it again for it to come up on the screen for about 5 seconds to give the audience time to read the names without rushing.


What targets do you aim to achieve before your next entry?

The target that I aim to achieve before my next entry is to have my teacher check to see if all the editing is fine and to tell me if i need to make any changes or where i can improve on certain things or what i should change or take out so that my documentary can be the best it possible can be.

Production Log 5

What progress did you make since your previous entry?
Since my last entry I have re filmed all of the scenes and shots that i thought needed to be done again for my documentary, i have also recored my voice overs with the voice recorder. I have also managed to get the first 2-3 minuets done. I also managed to put all of the clips i needed onto final cut pro. I also managed to sort out the parts that had gone out of sync from the video's.

What logistical challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?
The logistical challenges that I faced was that when i had to put the voice overs in from different interviews i had to make sure that they were all in the right place at the right time and that there was not a lot of gaps between them.

What technical challenges did you face this week and how did you overcome them?
Some technical challenges that I faced this week was that with trying to move certain voice overs to different places and it would move other video's to different places, which meant that i would have to move it all and do some of the stuff again to make sure that all of it is in the correct place at the right time.


What targets do you aim to achieve before your next entry?

The target that I aim to achieve before my next entry is to have 5 minuets all edited, to also make sure that I got all of my voice overs done and make sure that all the archive footage and the music is on the timeline in the right place with cuts in the footage to make it more interesting.

What progress did you make since your previous entry?
Since my last entry I have filmed my all of the scenes and shots for my documentary, i have also filmed certain parts that will just be my voice. I have also started editing and I plan to have the introduction and the first 2-3 minuets done by the time i come to do my next production log, this is so that i can be finished on the deadline date.

What logistical challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?
The logistical challenges that I faced was that when I went to put some of the videos on to final cut pro and edited them they did not come out how i pictured them to come out which meant that I then had to go a film certain things again during this week to make sure that all the footage that i need looks how it is supposed to.

What technical challenges did you face this week and how did you overcome them?
Some technical challenges that I faced this week was that with trying to move certain things around, the video and the voice would be out of sync, which meant that i had to delete it and reposition it so that it would all be in the right place with the voice and video in sync.


What targets do you aim to achieve before your next entry?

The target that I aim to achieve before my next entry is to have at least the first 2-3 minuets all edited, to also make sure that I have done all the voice overs with the voice recorder, and finally to have all the footage on final cut pro so that I do not have to keep using the memory card.

What logistical challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

The way I will overcome this is by asking more people in his family for interviews so that the audience will see more of a personal side to the documentary.
