Progress
Last week, I had achieved most of the targets that I set myself. On Tuesday, I had captured the footage very quickly and had most of the lesson to start getting a rough cut in place, nearly finishing that in one lesson alone. On Wednesday, I completed the rough cut pretty early in the lesson and had asked a peer to comment on the editing of the rough cut and edited my work accordingly. With still some time left of the lesson, I started editing the soundtrack so that it fit the footage. I found this was rather difficult to do and struggled with it for the rest of the lesson. I took an extra hour during my lunch time to try and edit the soundtrack so that it worked correctly with the footage but didn't make it work as well as I had hoped but was satisfied that it would still work. With the last lesson, I simply put in the inter-titles at the end of the advert and added effects to the correct shots and finished my advert.
Target
For this week, I plan to start the evaluation of my product. I will complete two different documents detailing what I have done for my production and why I have done them to create a desired effect. I will do this all week.
Contingencies
I will prevent losing any of my evaluation work by saving regularly on putting the work in two different locations, e.g. the college system and on a computer at my home.

Production Monitoring Blog - 28/03/11
Progress
The progress I have made this week hasn't been much as I had previously completed the pre production work and couldn't start the post production as the camera is booked out for today. The progress I had made was that on Monday, I had noted down various points in the soundtrack that may be useful in post production, making it easier for me when that time comes. I also improved on many aspects of my pre production in the other three lessons of the week as there wasn't much else to work on. Nothing went wrong with any of my pre production things this week.
.
Targets
This week is a big week as I will shoot my film tonight at the locations needed as well as the post production for the rest of the week.On the lesson on Tuesday, I aim to simply capture my footage, as well as start to sequence each shot into a rough cut of the advert. I will continue this process through to Wednesday as well and will finish this in the middle of that lesson. With the rough cut in place, I will ask the opinion of someone else in the room to see if all of the shots work well next to each other and see if there are any minor changes are needed with the rough cut. These changes will be completed in the end of the Wednesday lesson. The Thursday lesson, I will edit the soundtrack using the same software that I am using to edit the footage, and I will put that over the top of the footage, silencing the noises in the shots. After that I will put effects on the shots needed and I will finally put the inter-titles at the end of the advert, hopefully overlapping with the soundtrack.
Contingencies
There are many things that may go wrong this week, including the footage not capturing correctly on the Mac that I am working on, I could get around this by moving to a Mac that it does capture correctly on. Another thing that might go wrong is the software might crash and I might lose all of my data. I could get around this by saving at regular intervals so that I don't lose a lot of data.

Production Monitoring Blog - 21/03/11
Progress
Last week, I had achieved a lot of what I wanted to achieve from the blog last week. I was able to complete my storyboard and my script on Monday and Tuesday so that I am ready to start filming apart from booking the camera and deciding the actors and mise en scene. This was done on Wednesday and Thursday. I have got the camera booked out for Monday next week. I have decided on the actors that I am using and have contacted them and they are willing to do it. The costume was decided on Thursday. I had no real problems on anything that happened last week apart from that I didn't have the phone number of one of the potential actors which was easily fixed by asking someone else who knew him for the number.
Targets
This week, as I have completed most things for the pre production stage, I will look at my soundtrack again and note down vital points in the soundtrack so when I start editing it together, I can refer to those notes, making it easier for me. I will also improve as many aspects of my pre production as I can seeing as there isn't an post production work that can be done as yet.
Contingency
The only thing that could go wrong this week is a technical error which can be avoided by saving data regularly.
