Production Log 4

During this week I continued planning and  following my schedule, I I decided on the questions for the interview/Vox pop section of my documentary. I produced a hard copy of them to assist the interviewees for vox pops and the experts. This week I requested permission via the social worker for the possibly of involving fellow residents/adolescents in the filming with for my documentary.

Consent by the way of the letter on my behalf was issued and I advised my social worker about my documentary. I had a meeting with Chau Lee at my house where we discussed and about issue I am encountering and so far he said he will write a letter to Barking and Dageham Council on my behalf requesting his permission to participate in this documentary.

Whilst my social worker was working on that I continued to do my planning of my documentary I had done another planning work which was called Reeces and location and now I  have finished the planning work for my documentary

Next entry you will know that I have started the filming of my documentary and how it is going. I will enjoy this.

Production Schedule January and Feburary

Call Sheets

Risk Assessment

Production Log 3

Last week I said that before I make my next entry log I would have done the risk assessment and also the call sheets. However I did more i did the email work where I had to illustrate that I am contacting the specialist to fit in a time to do the documentary and show what I said to him or her. What did in the call sheet is that i had to type out the location of where I will be filming and when I will be filming in the specific location and who will be helping me film in the location. In the risk assessment I was told to make 1 risk assessment for each location I intended to film. I will need to type out for each risk assessment, explain the risk that I may face in the location and how I will prevent facing the situation.

I managed to do all of that work. I came across facing a problem within my work which was the risk assessment I could not come up with some ideas on what risk face in the location. I overcame this problem by asking one of the member of staff in the residential for help as they are always doing risk assessment for the adolescent that lives within the care home.

Next time you will find out that more information on what i have done got left to do within the planning work and also what i have done before the next entry log. Stay tuned.

Production log 2

As I continued doing the planning for the documentary. I came across seeing the two paperwork which I wanted to do before the next entry they were the budget work and crew list work. What I need to do to in the budget paperwork is to show how I will spent £5000 in my documentary and how it will be allocated. In the crew list paperwork I was told to write down the names on who will help me do the documentary.

During the lesson on friday I was told that i had to make some on the narrative arc and I was told the deadline on when all the planning had to be done which was next Friday. I made the changes and continue my planning for my documentary. I have not yet uploaded any of my work for planning on the blog yet but I will once I have finished doing the planning.

I managed to achieve finishing off the budget and the crew list paperwork before this entry. They were not that hard to completed. However I did face a quite a lot of problem when doing the budget as I told that i needed to illustrated how i would spent £5000 pounds all together however I went over the budget quite a lot times. In the end i manged to show how I will would spent £5000 for my documentary.

By the next time I do make entry log for my work I should done the call sheets and the risk assessment. What I need to do in the call sheet is to type out the location of where i will be filming and when I will be filming in the specific location and who will be helping me film in the location. In the risk assessment  I will need to make 1 risk assessment for each location I intend to film. I will need to type out for each risk assessment, explain the risk that I may face in the location and how I will prevent facing the situation.

Production Log 1

During this week I started  my planning for the documentary. During the lesson that was provided I was told to make an arc on what was going to happen within my documentary. My documentary is about me on how I can handle the pressure in being part of the care system.

We started on the narrative arc on Wednesday during the lesson. So instead of making a shooting script for the documentary it was decided that we would make a narrative arc based on the sections that will happen within the documentary.

We were told that the deadline to complete the narrative was on Thursday 8pm. I manage to complete this section on my own without partner, though will be making this documentary on my own. The challenge I face this week was when i started to do the narrative i found it hard to put lighthearted section within it as the documentary started to look very gloomy and pretty boring. I overcame this problem by asking my friend when calling him on what lighthearted section I could put in the documentary. I got some ideas from my friend and I included some of the ideas he said I could put in the documentary.

My targets before my next entry is to do the budget paperwork and also the crew list. What I need to do to in the budget paperwork is to show how I will spent £5000 in my documentary and how it will be allocated. In the crew list paperwork I will show who will be helping me throughout the filming of my documentary.

reeces and location

Holibrook house

My bedroom

This is one of the locations where I will be filming a piece to camera in the Holibrook house. The location I chose was my bedroom the reason is because I want to personalise this documentary about the care system. I will also use this room to film on the tour of the house to show that it is accommodating, clean and a safe environment so therefore it would appeal to the audience. 

I will be using the artificial lighting in the room. I will be filming the tour of the house during the morning. However the piece to camera will be at night the reason is because I want the audience to be able to see me in sugu and it is also because nobody will interrupt me during filming as the adolescents will be asleep.

Kitchen

I will be using the kitchen as the location whilst filming which is set in place at Holibrook House. The reason why I will use this location is firstly for the lighthearted section  where i will be a a chef cooking Biriyani , the other reason is for the tour of the house as I want to show the looks of the home.

I will be using in the kitchen chopping board, knife, frying pan and also the ingredients to make my dish. This filming will be done during the morning at the weekend as the adolescent tend to sleep in on the weekend

Office

I will be using the office as part of my documentary. This filming will be done at the location of a home called Holibrook House. The reason why I will be using this location within the house is because this is where most staff do their paper works. Another reason why I will be using this location is because I have 3 sections of filming to do in this location. These are piece to camera, interviewing with staff and also tour of the house

I will be using this location during the weekdays in the morning as there not many people around the home during the time.

Conservatory meeting room

I will be using the conservatory meeting room as part of my documentary as I will be using this location for 3 sections of my filming. in these sections I will be interviewing adolescents, touring the house and also interviewing the social worker. The room is often quite cold and I will be placing a heater in the room so it does not effect me whilst I am filming. 

I will be using the artificial lighting in the room as you will be able to see me chat to the social worker.

Chadwell Heath Academy

Green screen room

I will be using the Green screen room. The filming will be done at the location of Chadwell Heath Academy. The reason why I will be using this location of the filming is because I have a section that I will be filming in which is the piece to camera incorporating statistics and facts.

I will be using the artificial lighting within this location as the audience will be able to see me clearly and talking directly at them. I will be using this location for filming during school time table.
