Unit 5: Working to a brief production blog

As part of our working to a brief assignment we had to keep a up to date production blog, showing my contribution to the production and any important information/problems we encounter

25th Feb 2014

Today we had our first production meeting, our production supervisor assigned us all individual pre-production tasks, I was given the task of finding research about and relating to the factory act of 1833, this research was to be put into the production folder the following week, I collected a couple pages of research and put them into the production file.

26th Feb 2014

We had our second production meeting, Leah Sharp took the agenda and we decided that Ryan Bartle would be our team leader. Ryan then assigned us all new pre-production roles, I was told to find pictures and archive footage of the factories. We also received an e-mail from our client Alice this informed us that she would like to arrange a meeting to discuss progress and to share any ideas we have.

27th Feb 2014

We discussed the success of our meeting with Alice and had an informal meeting in which we discussed the direction we would take the production.

3rd March 2014

Today we had our meeting with the client, we discussed our ideas and how our progress was going, we also discussed a time limit for the production, Alice recommended 15 minutes, we thought this was much too long and explained that all the information could be covered in under 8 minutes, this also suited our target audience more as teenagers don't want to watch a long production that drags out parts to fit the 15 minutes. Alice gave us some leaflets and booklets that contained information which may help our production.


13th March 2014

Today 3 of our production team members filmed some vox pops at the college asking the following questions;
  • Did you have a part-time job while in school?
  • If Yes. Did you enjoy the job?
  • If No. Would you have liked one?
  • What are the pros and cons of having a part-time job?

19th March 2014

Today I organised our production folder and began work on casting the modern reconstruction, I generated a schedule for planning and filming the modern reconstruction

25th March 2014

Today we limed the majority of the modern reconstruction, this went really well, there is only a short sequence to be filmed before the modern reconstruction is completed

29 March 2014

Today I and Dale Whyte went to preston park to film the historical reconstruction, but due to actor schedules filming didnt go ahead and we left without filming anything, this was poor planning on our behalf, we will arrange to film this next week with proper planning and organisation

2nd April 2014

Today me, Shemar Chawla and Ryan Bartle filmed part of the modern reconstruction, we used Katie Smith as our paper girl. We filmed Katie leaving for her paper round and returning after it, this went well we now need to film the rest of the modern reconstruction

5th April 2014

Today we filmed the historical reconstruction, we changed the script while on set as we had access to multiple child actors whilst before we only had one, this went much better than we had planned originally, we will change the voice over to match the new visuals we had filmed.

15th May 2014

Today I, Ryan Bartle and Leah Sharp wrote and recorded the voice over for the historical reconstruction, this went well and fits the visuals
