In our first meeting we got to know each other as were are a new group, we shared contacts to make it easier for us all to communicate as a group, inside and out of college grounds. We went on to share our strengths and weaknesses to then decide what rolls we would undertake such as: Blogger, designer, researcher and editor etc.
We also as a group discussed ideas of our production name. We went around the circle and we all gave input we came up with four ideas:

We also as a group discussed ideas of our production name. We went around the circle and we all gave input we came up with four ideas:
- Nas: Came up with Drift aside and time inc
- Shannice: Came up with FourCircleinema and Streamline studios.
- The group liked FourCircleCinema and Streamline studios the most the majority vote went to FourCircleCinema as they had an incline that streamline studios was already existing. After creating the name Fatih and Nas roughly drafted a logo. It was a two ideas that we all liked. Fatih then combined both the logos they both did to make one, (to be toyed with later on).

In our fourth meeting we again decided to meet outside of lesson, during this it was only three of us that were present (Darius,Shannice and Fatih). We decided to allocate every member a specific task which could be completed in the time we had as our group was short of one member and we could not move on without this member being present.

In our fifth meeting we attempted to do a list of things, our concepts, textual analysis and some missing information on the website.
- As we needed to have two whole concepts to present to the class, Fatih left his activity of the logo to help Shannice write up the second concept, we decided this next concept would be based on the sub genre 'Zombies'.

- Fatih worked on the logo, mixing the colors and making it 3D, he occasionally stopped to ask the groups opinion and then focused back at the task on hand.
- Shannice: Worked on the first concept. she drafted the name of the trailer by asking every one what they wanted it too be. we first agreed with a dead students ID Number(i.e '13l0986') but then found complications with this so Shannice decided we create a room number by using all our favourite numbers. this became the antagonists room number.
- Darius: Worked on the website; changing the format and presentation and updating missing information.
- Nas: Nas started off writing and updating our team log, but decided it would be better for her and Darius to team up to complete one concept.
- As we needed to have two whole concepts to present to the class, Fatih left his activity of the logo to help Shannice write up the second concept, we decided this next concept would be based on the sub genre 'Zombies'.

30/09/14
In our sixth meeting which was in lesson, only three member were present again (Fatih Darius and Nas). In this meeting we organised who will do what in the pre-production stage of our trailer.
We decided Darius should do The story board and animatic as he was the best with editing and using final cut pro 7. also, Fatih should do the drafting of the poster and magazine as he is graphically creative making him the best for this position. Nas was chosen to do the mood boards and character boards as she is good at using Photoshop and could easily access it. overall, we then decided Shannice should do the Audience research as she is into social media more than all of us and has many acquaintances.
Nas and Fatih decided to brainstorm each character before they left so Nas can make sure the character boards includes lots of detail about each character.
After this Darius compiled the treatment photos and placed them on the website.

In this meeting we discussed plans for filming.
we had just been assigned our shooting day which was the 27/10/14. it was the first day in half term, so we had to make sure we were prepared in every aspect because there would be literally no time to amend it. in doing that we all made sure any written work was completed so we could put our full focus on on filming and getting all of our shots down. we sat down together and discussed some things we might have been worried about, doing this will help us make the day run smooth. shannice was very worried about the time every group member would come and when we would actually start filming, she was also worried about getting all of the shots done as there were quite a few. fatih was nervous about getting all of the shots right and perfect, basically good enough footage to use. he really wanted the day to be productive. |
darius was nervous about his camera work as he felt under pressure as he was the assigned 'camera man' he wanted to make sure all the shots were perfect.
nas was afraid of everyone's timing and attendance on the day as she didn't want to waste any time, when we could be filming! 100% attendance ( Shannice, Darius, Fatih, Nas) |
27/10/14
The day of filming!
On the day we all arrived on time (8-8:30), as soon as we arrived we got to work.
Nas started on her make-up for mrs. tresex and started recording herself doing so.
fatih prepped us with our missing posters(props for filming)
shannice started briefing everyone with the updated storyboard and call sheets. she went through each shot and each location with the group.
darius got all his equipment out ready for filming.
The morning:
the first location we chose to film in was the art area, because that was where we had most shots so we wanted to get that out of the way. although we tried to keep time conscious it was very hard as we wanted to perfect shots. so we did run over time.
we then moved toward the chaplaincy as we had very difficult shots (like the 180 turn) we didn't want to miss the opportunity to get it right before we ran out of time. in doing this we managed to run over time.
The afternoon:
in the afternoon we were very limited meaning we only had enough time to film only a few shots that were left. we went to the r.e corridor and had less than 20 minutes to complete the shots as we would run over into the other group time if not.
end of shooting:
when our time was up, we were disappointed as we never got to finish filming some vital shots putting us at somewhat of a disadvantage as we would need to find time to shoot again.
overall the day was productive even though we didn't finish filming.
