Weekly Progress

This is my Weekly Progress: 

Week 2:

+ learned about camera angles & movements

+ Learned about Demographic and Psychographic target audiences 

+ Looked at the advert (barbie)

Week 3:

+ Watched 3 adverts and analyse them

+ Need 1 more simple one, and 1 more detailed analysis

Week 4:

+ I learned about mise-en-scene, visual aspects of media such as colour, blocking, props, weather, hair, set design and etc

+ I studied about the different groups of audiences, Demographic (age, income, location, occupation) and Psychographic (interests, values)

+ I finished the mini project experimenting with the camera angles and camera movement

+ I finished My Target Audience post

+ I started to get ideas for my advertisement: about supercars for women

Week 5:

+ I leanred about sound and types of it (diegetic and non-digetic).

+ I learned about how to make a storyboard (layout,and what to put in it) and practice making one

Week 6:

+ I learned about technical editing elements such as cutaways, match-cut, cross-cutting

+ I made a video analysis about Quiet Place clip (practicing Section A for the exam). I was tasked to choose 1 big idea that describes the video and used technical elements (camera angles, camera movements, sound, and edit) to support the big idea.

+ I submited the practice storyboard

+ I made the proposal for my advertisement

Week 7
+ I make a video analysis about Peggy, in captain America. I wrote down the technical elements (camera angles, camera movements, sound, edit, and mise-en-cense) to support that Peggy is being casted away and overlooked than the men.

+ I did a Unit Test about camera angles and movements

+ I finished my draft storyboard and my teacher told me to work on my scaling so my shot looks realistic

+ I'm about to start my final storyboard

Week 8

+ I started my critical self reflection powerpoint and finished the first question. While doing it, I feel it takes a long time to do it since I have to think about what to type and how to format my response. 

+ I continued my final storyboard. I believe I took too much time drawing each shot and I will improve by simplyfying my drawings and continue making it faster since I have many shots and limited time.

Week 9:

+ I finished my final storyboard and critical self reflection. During the proccess of finishing it up, I had difficulties on the cam scanner app - sometimes it is too bright and I cannot see my text clearly so I had to redo it (eventhough I tried to reduce the brightness in the app, it's still bad quality sometimes).

+ I learned about 4 media theories such as the Hypodermic Needle theory, Two Step Flow theory, Desensitisation (compassion fatigue), and social learning. All of these theories I can use to answer the question in section B of the exam such as 'How does media ownership affect the content that it produces?' 

+ I also learned how to structure my answer to respond to the section B question: which is starting with an introduction, paragraph 1 consisting of the point, the context, a case study, and the theory related to it. Then repeat with paragraph 2 and 3. 

Self Reflection

Keeping track of my weekly progress helped me to stay organize and aided me in time management so I know what to do in my free time. This makes me more focused in doing unfinished task. By doing the task as soon as possible (final storyboard), I get to use the remaining time to double check for any potential mistakes (wrong spelling or unclear drawing). All of this assisted my progress on finishing my final storyboard on time and in high quality.
