Week 4: We did statement of intent on this week, this helped us why we want to do this genre and scenes.

Week 6: This week we did all project lesson and we did the storyboard and made a script for our opening scene and we also did a screen test to figure out whos going to be the actor of the movie. We also did statement of intent to figure out our demographic and psychographic and we also did a location scout to film our scenes, im not scared of this and im excited for the next step

Reflection: weekly progress helped me to track my progress and helped me to remember the things we learned either if its a day ago or a week ago so it makes it really easy for me to put stuff in my head

Week 1:

we created a mini movie clip, we created that in our group to practice our acting

Week 2: 

In this week we learned about dominant reading oppositional reading and negotional reading, we also learned about how to edit and continuity editing, this can improve our knowledge on our main movie project and this can also make it easier for us to decide who will edit in our group, We also learned a couple new theories such as cultivative theory, desentitaion theory, social learning theory and reception theory.

Week 3: 

In this week we learned about 3 theories judith butler laura mulvey van zoonen, and we also learned about reception theory and stuart hall. we also learned dominant reading oppostional reading and lastly negotional reading. we had some clips ready and we already filmed but the problem was the clips were shaky and we might need to record the clips back again which we plan to do it tommorow on friday 24th january

Week 4: 

in this week we only had one lesson because of holidays, in this one lesson we did a project lesson about the typeface and searching for the perfect title for our movie and we also created and opening credits for our project. 

Week 5: 

in this week we have a long holiday and i did all the work at home

Week 6: 

we had online classes in this week because of extreme weather but we started to make CCR1 and CCR2, we also started to do audience feedback and created a new blog for it.

Week 7: 

in this week we started CCR 3 and CCR4, we also have mock exams which made us too busy to study for it until we do not have time do continue our blogs or reshoot some scenes that are no perfect yet

Week 8: this week we did full review and we did 3 mock tests which was suprisingly pretty decent and after the mock test we dicussed about the questions and the right answers

Week 9: this week was very turbulent and everything went downhill quickly between mock tests slc and the project that we failed to meet deadlines, with lackluster presentation, this week was the last week and a few more days until submission, so we now had to focus fully on the fixing

Week 10: THIS WEEK IS THE SUBMISSION WEEK!!!!!, our group locked in and straight up focus fully on this project and we had help from addie to record too since arnold is unavailable
