Progress Report Four - Saira .x


This Week Has Been The Most Stressful Week Ever. When Coming Across The Drug Scene, We Got Stopped By The Police As A Man Had Complained That We Were Doing Something Dodgy In The Alleyway. Luckily, Sim Ran Off With The Drugs, So The Police Woman Couldn't Really Say Anything. Next, In The Evening We Did A Fight Scene Near Durdans Primary, Where Our Main Character Gets Beaten Up. Again, A Police Man And Woman Stopped Us As Someone Across The Street Had Complained Thinking It Was A Real Fight. However, We Explained The Story And Went Away. When Filming Our Scene With The Spliff At Ravenor Park, Both A Police Man And Woman Came And Stopped Us Again. Luckily, Aarun Threw The Spliff Away So They Were Not Able To See What We Were Doing. Apart From All The Stops From The Police, I Reckon Our Production Is Going Very Well Since Everything Is Going According To The Plan. Also, We Have Now Started Editing Our Shots, Therefore Our Production Will Be Completed Successfully In No Time.

Progress Report Three - Sim.x.


This week not only for me but the whole group has been a long and stressful week, their havent really been any difficult problems if there were any they were all minor problems. Many of our shots had to be completed this week as we are going to start editing in the next couple of weeks. This week we did shots of the main actor before he gets corrupted so these included the home shots we also did the rival gang shots, setting shots, train and also bus shots, we have also filmed the two main female roles which include the girlfriend, the mistress role which is also known as the slag, from both these roles we did some intresting shots.

Progress Report Two - Sim.x.


This week we have overcome any problems that had occured last week. We have all our actors ready and booked for the days which we need them on. This week our shots of the rival gang have all been finalised, we went to slough and shot the rival gang doing their day to day business, we tried out a variety of shots and did them from different angles, we have also done the shots of the main actor (Indi) friendship groups the ones in which have corrupted him. With this we had made our filming successful so far, there havent been many problems this week which is a good thing, we have also made a list of things so we have a clear understanding on what we have to do, i think that everyone in the group have been enjoying themselves, So overall this week has been going well for filming.

Progress Report 3 - Saira x


We Have Finally Completed A Large Amount Of Our Production. The Final Shots Needed Are Those Of The Rival Gang, And Our Main Character Indi Getting Beaten Up. This Will Add To The Narrative Of Our Trailer As Without These Shots, The Storyline Will Not Make Any Sense. Therefore, It Is Vital For The 'Korrupted' Group To Catch The Footage. During The Week, We Have Filmed The Most Important Scenes Of Our Trailer, Mostly Including Both The Female Characters. As A Result, The Group Has Done Extremely Well Since We Have Put Our Time And Effort Into The Work. We Have Also Included Some Dialogue Which Includes The Couple Talking On The Phone Aswell As Indi's Mum Speaking To Her Son, Before He Goes Away. As The Group Has Been Coming Out Everyday In The Holidays, We Have Successfully Met Our Target, Which Was To Film Most Of The Scenes Before We Come Back To School. Consequently, This Shows That The 'Korrupted' Group Are Determined To Do Well, Since We Gave Up Our Holidays In Order To Come Out And Complete Our Media Production.

Progress Report 2 - Harvy


Our media production is well on the way of sucess, we have sorted out the main actors, setting and also made a detail shooting scedual so we know what we are filming on what days. It is extreamly helpful since we know the minimum we have to cover and also it keeps us on track so we don not fall behind and we are able 2 meet the deadlines set. Over the weekend we shot sum very important sceans and the outcome was brilliant, we have covered all the shooting of our meis-en-scene althought we have not got much of the action, we will be covering that throught the corse of this week. The group input has been very dedecated so their are not any problems we have come across. This week will be the important shooting. We hop that the weather is clear this is the only problem we may face while shooting.

Progress Report 2 - Saira x


I Personally Believe The 'Korrupted' Group Has Done Extremely Well. This Is Because; We Have Worked Together, And Helped Eachother Out With Each Shot, In Order To Grab A Lot Of Footage Which We Can Now Use In Our Trailer. We Have Taken Our Camera Out Everyday And Have Used It To Catch Random Shots Of The Rival Gang, Aswell As The Important Characters In Our Production. It Is Vital For The Group To Stick Together, And This Is Exactly What We Have Done Since Everything Is Going As Planned. Therefore, Once It Comes To Editing, We Will Know Exactly What To Do. We Have Filmed Footage Of The Girls, As Well As The Boys; Consequently Our Trailer Will Be Targeted At Both Genders. Moreover, We Have Used Different Cinematography Such As High And Low Angle Shots, Point Of View Shots, As Well As Both High And Low Key Lighting. As We Have Experimented With The Different Shots Needed, We Have Decided What Shots We Are Going To Stick To, For Us To Use In Our Production. As A Result, I Believe That The Group Is Now Progressing Further.

Our Media Production Filming Has Been Going Well So Far. We Have Filmed A Variety Of Different Shots Such As The Cocaine Shots, The Rival Gang And Footage Of The Main Character, Which Is Indi. As We Have Finally Decided Who Our Female Characters Are Going To Be, We Are Now Able To Get On With The Other Scenes In Order To Target Our Trailer At Both The Males And Females. We Have Decided On What Each Shot Is Going To Be About. Therefore, Once We Get The Shooting Schedule Sorted For This Week, We Will Be Able To Go Out And Film The Shots. So Far, Everything Is Going As Planned.

Progress Report - Sim x


What we have achieved so far.

So far as a group we have been doing quite well, we came across one main problem which was to do with our main characters we over came this situation by having a group meeting which has helped us in many ways. We started filming a couple of days ago so far we have done the minor shots for the production from different angles and different views. We have done shots such as the main character in a lesson, a setting shot; rival gang shot, drugs shot, a phone shot and the other were seen as the minor shots which may be needed in the production. We will start filming our important shots in the up coming weeks.

Progress Report - Indi x


What we have achieved so far!

We have progressed alot with our media production. We had a few minor problems to deal with such as characters and location. However, due to responsible actions we decided to have a group meeting and solved all the problems. We now have everything we need and also have shot many shots. We were able to take shots of the main characters rival gang hanging around in alleys and also many other shots in the alley. Also, we were able to take shots of the main character doing cocaine which was crushed up paracetamol.

Progess Report - Saira x


We Started Off By Filming A Shot From Harvy's Roof As With This, We Were Able To Catch Some Footage On The Setting. We Also Brought Our Camera Out In The Rain As We Thought This Was A Good Opportunity To Film Since The Whole Atmosphere Would Then Go Along With The Theme Of Our Production. Whilst The Rain Was Pouring, We Filmed Our *Rival Gang* Drinking Alcohol. We Used A Variety Of Different Shots Such As Close Ups On The Drinks And Cups, As Well As Their Facial Expressions To Then Show The Reaction. We Also Filmed The Gang On A Random Day, So We Were Able To Show The Audience What They Get Up To On A Standard Day. Moreover, We Also Filmed Shots Of Our Main Character Sleeping In A Lesson, To Then Show How He Has Been Corrupted And Is Not Able To Concentrate In His College Years.
