Planning

Daily Diary

Today Foxy and I discussed what I need to do about my severe backlog of work and feedback. In his pair of comments on my Evaluation page he told me to create this Diary for the work I do along with what I need to focus on the most. Today, after having done a small amount of editing to sync audio in my edit, I plan to begin with what he's asked me to do in research. I shall look for something on Multi-cam in Google Books. Failing that I'll look for web based research on the topic.

I could not find a suitable book or journal though Google Books to use as Research. I'm now going to look at various websites on the web to find secondary research. Afterwards, as primary research, I shall look into Multi-camera products similar to what I want to make. In this time as a response to a presentation Foxy gave to the class I listed several things I need to do in my Production page as well as looked into one of the Theories I've researched that applies to the whole shoot.

12:50

I found a good website article based on how to make Multi-camera shoots and I'm using quotes to spearhead my research. I've done one section and found the quote for the next section. I'll likely continue this when I get home today. If not I'll do it tomorrow after editing. I'm hoping tomorrow I can finish the edit if I push though it the whole day.

In the end I didn't end up continuing at home like I thought I would mostly because I ended up having a headache by the time I got home along with a small cold. Not feeling in the condition to be productive, I left the work until today. I was planning to edit in the library today, but the one computer with the software I need that I got on for some reason had a dysfunctional headphone jack. Instead of wasting the computer I will use it to continue the research and then proceed to do editing later today, likely in the creative block. If I cannot do the editing today I'll have to wait until Monday. I however don't mind this as it'll give me more time to complete the tasks set by Foxy.

Early logo ideas and concepts

In this small sheet I started making concept drawings for the logo, with the intention of using it to make an opening graphic and watermark. I'm not particularly happy with some of my designs, and afterwards looked at other logos that relate to the kind of product I'm making for inspiration which I show in Research.

Story boards

This Shows the shot and dialogue of the introduction where the host (Person 1) is me while persons 2-5 are the other people on the podcast. While I might ad-lib slightly due to my difficulties with scrips, it gives me a better idea of the structure to begin with. The descriptions of shots and framing helps me direct the camera people and understand the flow of the scene. This is all more of a rough guide and may change when it comes to the actual shoot.

This, while only half completed, was a description of how I wish the first scene to play out. Because I wish this to be more free form I'm only giving rough ideas for the dialogue. It's only half finished because I was then recommended to do a shot list instead as it would be simpler and quicker to get the information about the shots across while giving more detail and still allowing me to describe the dialogue.

Shot list

In this shot list I've listed from start to finish what kinds of shots I'd like, what each camera is filming, and what the guests and host (myself) are doing. Like with the storyboards this is a rough idea, not set in stone. When it comes to filming things may change and done differently as needed, but this will likely be printed off and used as my main guide for the duration. 

Risk assessment

Here I made a risk assessment for the studio including the possible use of the jib crane to get higher angle shots for the gameplay. I'll use it while setting up to make sure theres minimal problems
