this week at college...

We had a run through of the entire script. We had a technical rehearsal. We had a few meetings which I have typed up and filed. I went through folder work and what needs to be in there. I had a meeting with Peter Silk about the script, we went through actors, locations, props and everything else. I came up with a schedule and I put dates down for filming and editing. I put it on the wall so everyone knows when I intend to film. I need to arrange a meeting with the client. We're emailing actors for multi-camera next monday. I got some feedback on my logos. I have a lot of work to do this weekend. I want to arrange a meeting with some industry professionals for primary research but I do not know how realistic it will be to get in touch with someone who will let us interview them. But I think it is worth trying anyway. Especially for the PA role!
I still need to do my contextual studies presentation. We went to the RTS awards in York on Tuesday night which was a good night!

I went to college early today, did research, some organising for Live, we watched auditions, had a script

read through, I got feedback for my logo designs, I put dates down for filming / editing live.

Logo ideas

I have been coming up with some logo designs for my company. Here are a few...

Reel Tees Productions?

I originally wanted my company to be called Zeus Productions (my brothers tortise was called Zeus) so I looked on Companies House and it looked like that name was available. However, I googled it and there was an existing film company with that name. I didn't want to risk it just because it was not on Companies House so I thought of some new names. Reel Tees was the best one I came up with and it hasn't been taken but I am still not sure. I am going to think about it for a bit before I make a decision.
I have spent nearly all day doing work for every module. I am almost caught up already which I am feeling happy about!

Contextual studies

EXAMPLES OF SOUND USED TO CREATE MEANING OR IDENTITY WITHIN THE TEXT RELATING TO GENRE
I am half way through my presentation planning. I want to choose texts that are unpredictable. Jaw's is the film people usually talk about when it comes to sound and I don't want this. I have so far a Korean comedy film, a sci-fi film and a fantasy film. The presentation is on Wednesday, we have to keep them to 30 minutes so I have to keep this in mind when I lay it out. I am thinking of making it more interesting and adding some TV series in but this isn't a definite decision yet.
I don't know if I am filming tomorrow yet. I am waiting on a phone call. I wish I had more notice and an idea of the plan but I will have to prepare for it regardless of whether or not it is going to happen.

this week...

Some of the things I have been doing these past few days... I had a meeting with my Live crew. We had a run through of the western script (I was Sound, PA then camera), we had a Technical Demonstration on Edit 7, we had the second auditions, watched the camera presentations in Contextual Studies, had individual meetings which I sat in on, had a talk about the specialisms, did research, come up with ideas for my company name and logo for Professional Studies, started on my Contextual Studies presentation, had a Multicamera meeting, spoke to my live client, typed up all of my notes and diary, filed and got almost everything up to speed. I still have a lot to do but I am happy with the progress this week.

College

It's good to be back at college. There isn't much time before we break up for Christmas and I have so much work to do. We had the second auditions this evening for the multi camera module. We had a few meetings today with Live and Multi-camera crews. Yesterday Andy and I were having a talk with someone from the Evening Gazette about BBC Blast. These next few weeks are going to be crazy but I am looking forward to it.
