23rd September 2013
Today we had a meeting regarding what things we need to complete and whether or not we had any concerns. We videoed the meeting and it is going on You Tube (youtube.com). Also today we uploaded our script , synopsis and an animation. For the script Josephine decided to use www.rawscripts.com to create a professional looking script. However because the technology was free and short filmakers would be on a low budget this may be a software they would use. Ruby has been researching VoxPop a method used to get the publics view. Josephine has created a questionaire consisting of qualitiative and quantitative data. These methods will help us understand public audiences and get a wide range of opinions. This is something Josephine and Niyika learnt when doing audience research at AS because we only got opinions from Holy Family students of one age group . this meant our outlook on thriller was very limited. Therefore our group intends to use a variety of methods to effective audience research that has opinions from a wide range of ages, genders and ethnicites so we can get a greater knowledge of what the audience would like to see from our short film.

Working on the Website
Choosing the style, we added the necessary pages ( the different sections in the project).
working on the website,adding work onto the website like:
The Brief
Powerpoint on what artist moving Image is
Still frame analysis
Brainstorm of ideas
13th Of September
Continuing to add to the Website whilst sorting out any problems that had occured.
Problem that we faced was that work added onto the website was not saved/ Showing when the website had revisited. We overcame this by only having one person on the website at the time to upload so the software does not have an overload
30th September 2013
The beginning of the month we carried on with our research into short films, such as arrays of short film by their up and coming filmmakers, small film production and company's and people who are looking to make it in the industry. We came back together as a group and showed each other the things we found we picked one each that we liked the most and deconstructed it. With this done we looked into film reviews we talked about the layout and the text.
team meeting on the 10th of OctoberWe discussed about the date and time we would meet to film and create our Vox box and also when we are going to take pictures of our location and settings | zoomed out version of our plan | our plan |
