Summary)
This week I have completed the risk assessmentand
Emma is currently working on our analysis for our
survey. Meand Emma also did a pitch for our final
major projectidea. I think we did quite well in our
presentation as we followed the structureof how
we were asked to presentthe idea. We also included
everything about our idea such as the narrative,
characters, target audience, pre– production and
production. The only we missed out was the
explanation of our scriptand storyboards in the pre
– production section. Overall I think we did well at
the details included and how we presented our idea
with confidence and in depth answers.
We were given a distinction for this presentation. I
was quite shocked as I thoughtwe would need to
probably do it again to reach that gradebut I am
pleased with how well wedid.
By the end of next week I aim to make a
starton our scripts and storyboards butalso
have finished most of the pre – production
sheets such as, location, equipment sheets.
