This is my weekly progress and plan for this year
Week 1
This week we learned about industry and audience. We learnt about the producer of the films, which are companies who makes them, then the distributor which are companies who help spread the films to the exhibitors, which are platforms or places that people go to in order to consume the media provided such as the cinema, netflix, HBO+ and Disney+. We also planned a bit and gathered ideas on what genre we want our film to be for this project. I am doomed.
Week 2
This week we began our research into the genre of our film. We used examples from the opening of horror movies and analyzed it according to what we like, dislike, its conformity and what it subverts against. We looked more into horror genre and discussed and contemplated a lot of things.
Week 3
This week we talked about media consolidation, vertical and horizontal integration. Media consolidation is the ownership of other media companies. Vertical integration is the ownership of multiple companies in different sectors (production, distribution, and exhibition). Horizontal integration is the ownership of multiple companies from the same sector whether its production distribution or exhibition.
Week 4
This week i finished and polished my 2 big research and 6 small researches in genre. I got a 95 which im very satisfied with bc i did know (a little too late) that i wasn't using enough media technical terms and was too lazy to polish all 8 so i only inputted a few. Me and my team has different ideas on the movie. I think we should conform to most of the tropes, but not entirely. Our film will subvert the isolation feature and probably more features such as psychological harm instead of physical (paranoia, schizophrenia) We also did statement of intent.
Week 5
This week, we are going to be doing storyboard and script. My group has to think of the location scout because we plan to do it in the forest, and it isn't easy finding a place to shoot in Bali, especially because we're doing the horror genre. Me and shannon did the storyboard. First, it's going to be fire crackling, then a shadow will zoom past it making the fire dim a little. It then cuts to 3 teens (1 girl and 2 boys) inside the tent playing board games. One of the boys will then get out to retrieve food in the car, this is where the killer will inch closer and closer to him. By the time he sees the killer in the reflection it is far too late, and it cuts to black with a slashing sound. Then it cuts to the girl alone panting and running, chased by the killer. I really like this plot so i hope we find a good location for the camping area that won't disturb other people especially because we'll have a screaming scene.
Week 6
This week we're going to be focusing on the project (finishing up some blogposts, and making all the blog posts needed). I changed positions with kenneth on the script (which i will be doing now), and Behind the Scenes (which he will be doing now). We were given a sheet of paper with checklists on all the blogposts needed to be done. Shannon is doing the storyboard. im going to do the screenplay as well as the location scout. for the location, i chose taman festival bali because it is abandoned and creepy.
Week 7
This week is review and exams. Media studies exam is next week and this week we're just focusing on completing our work and planning for our filming scenes. We've already planned the spot and created as well as altered the storyboard accordingly to our likings. These media classes are also for people who hasn't completed any part of their blog or has missing assignments. For most my team though, we finished with everything and basically have free time.
This term went well. Although the final project could've been better, we did our best and learned from our mistakes. I hope term 3 will be better with practice and a deeper understanding of film making.
Term 3
Week 1
This week we learnt about new media and technological convergence. New media is media that requires internet such as smartphones, laptops, computers. Old media are TVs, radios and newspaper. Technological convergence is the combination of multiple functions to be made into one device to improve efficiency, such as smartphones and social medias. This week we also did a horror movie scene recreation although the scene we were recreating was only a speech scene. This practice helps us improve our filming skills as well as putting the acting skills to the test. We had some trouble getting the timing of the speech right, but it wasn't a bad try.
Week 2
This week we learnt about editing, we tried to edit a simple scene that our teacher has recorded the scenes for. We revised some editing techniques, did some media text analysis, reviewed some theories we've learnt such as hypodermic needle, uses and gratification and also two step flow. We also learnt about social learning, cultivation theory, desensitization, dominant oppositional and negotiated reading. This saturday we are going to film our project scene so i hope we can do a good job.
