Progress Report 8 and 9....Editing and Print Productions...Amal

(16/03/09 - 22/03/09)

Over this past week or so, myself and my group and been trying to finish the film production and print production before the deadline. During this week we did a draft of how our magazine layout would look like and I took the responsibility of doing the layout while Meena wrote the first bit of the article and Jaleesa decided on what pictures would go on the magazine article. This gave us a chance to do what we had to do as well as edit in our free time, so we decided on how the layout was going to be and started creating the magazine article, however since myself and Jaleesa didn't know how to use Adobe Photoshop we had to find another way. Even though we have done so well in our editing we still need to complete one last bit of the filming to get the best and right conventions to make our film a horror. While we were creating the layout, Meena continued to edit and has done a good job of it as well as writing the article. However whilst we were doing that we stated looking at how far we've gone with the trailer and from that week we are now up to the 1 minute 30 seconds band which is very good as we only have 30 seconds to go till we finish the trailer which will be fantastic for us as we will have time to concentrate on Print Production 2, which will we in initiating next week. Athough we have done the trailer to 1 minute 30 seconds and the timing is all good with the images, we have one problem we need to change the soundtrack as it is from a film and we need to be original to get the marks we need, instead of using something thats copied. However back to the print production, after showing Mr Bush what we had wrote for the print production he said that it wasn't enough and we needed to write a bit more to make it look like an article, so myself and Jaleesa went to continue to write the article and finish it off so we can add it on the computer with the Adobe illustrator, which was what we were using to do the print production.

Hopefully for this upcoming week, myself and the group will be finished with the trailer and beginning the second print production and before the half term eveything will be completed. I am very proud of what my group and what we have all achieved as individualis as well as a group and below I have written 3 What Went Well, Even Better If and Next Best Step.
