Progress Report for 20th April...

On Tuesday we showed Mr Bush, the finished version of our practical production . We got some really helpful advice on the areas that need to be improved, changed or cut out as our documentary was approximately 12 minutes long, and therefore needed to be shorten. At the weekend we are hoping to do these improvements and hand in our final version of the production on Monday.

Progress Report for 10th April ...

Well during the Easter holidays, I have continuosly been going around to Naziya's house to complete the documentary. The good news is we have finally finished the main bits of the documentary, however there are a couple of things that we still have to add to, for example our Montage sequence and then we're done.

During the Easter we have added things like the voice over, we've edited the two main interviews- so that they get to the point, a range of non-diegetic music has been added throughout the production, the end titles have been completed and we have also done some minor improvements to the documentary so that it flows properly.

Overall we are really happy with the end result, as 'Islamophobia' is both entertaining and informing but at the same time gets to the point, so that it doesn't bore the audience to death!

Next week me and Naziya are hoping to show either the Media Mentors or Mr Bush our final production as they haven't seen the up-to-date version, in order to give us further advice on what needs to be improved.

Progress report for 4ht April..

Tanya came to my house after we had collected the hard drive. We got down to work from 11-5.45! We worked really hard, and the good thing is that all the documentary is done, we just need to add in the voiceover. Me and Tanya also fixed a few bits in our documentary, for example we worked on the montage. Also we added in 2 of our experts.

The documentary looks really wicked now (mashallah), both me and Tanya are really proud of what we have done.

I went to Tanya's house the next day (5th April) and we recorded my voice, hopefully next week, we will add it in.

Good news...

During my English revision class, my sister gave me a call, and gave me the world's most happiest news, I GOT MY LAPTOP BACK WITH MY DOCUMENTARY ON IT! i was so happy, i told Tanya that there is no point of editing in school, as we have got the latest version at my house.

So tomorrow (wed 4Th April) me and Tanya are going to come in school, collect the hard drive ant finish off the last 3 mins of our documentary.

Progress Report for 4th April...

Well we have got some really good news as we got the laptop back from 'HP' and our documentary is still on there, so we still only have 3 minutes to do. Thank god we may finish on time after all. This morning I'm going back to Naziyah's house to try and complete the last three minutes of our production.

We've learnt a lesson which is to always save a back up copy!!!!

Also tomorrow 'Thursday', we have decided to re-shoot Reshma again as the victim, as we weren't happy with the filming.

As soon as we've completed the editing, we will start writing up our evaluation!

Progress report for 30th March...

Today i came in to school at 9.00am. Me and Tanya decided to capture all of the footage again. As Tanya had to do her Art work, i quickly captured all the footage again. It took me 1 hour and 30 mins. I was pleased with what i had done, and sowas Tanya.

Today 2nd April, me and Tanya started to edit! Things are going ok, not to bad! I just hope we do well, and get our thing done!

THINGS ARE GOING BAD!...

Last Tuesday, things were going wicked! me and Tanya had all the work going on good. I was just about to save my work on the hard drive to show Mr.Bush it, and when i turned my laptop on, THE SCREEN WAS ALL BLACK AND I COULD HEAR THE ICONS LOADING UP! so my sister rang up HP and they said they will have it fixed within 8-10 days. So i told Tanya that, there is no point waiten for my laptop to come back with the documentary on it, so we deiced to do it all over again.

Progress Report for 1st April...

So far as we have to start the editing process again we have captured all the footage and we are now in the process of editing the beginning of the documentary. The good thing about editing the second time around is that we are much quicker than when we did the editing the first time round. For example something that took us 4 hours to do now takes us half the time.

Disaster!!!
Last Tuesday we was just about to save our documentary on a hard drive, in order to show Mr Bush and the Media Mentors what we've been up to and then all of a sudden the computer crashed on us. Which may have resulted in us losing our whole documentary. We have sent the lap top off to HP, who have told us that they would take between 8-10days to fix, so we thought that to be on the safe side we should start the editing process all over again. Me and Naziyah were really upset as we only had three minutes left to edit and then we would have finished, and now we have to start all over again!!!
