Weekly Progress

Week 1

This week we had our introduction

Week 2

This week we had our brief and research, as well as looking at examples of what we're going to do for this semesters project- documentary project, specifically crime documentary.

Week 3

This week we did some research, we were assigned to our own groups, we thought of what we're going to do for our project and started on our statement of intent. We decided to create a plot twist murder documentary, however our plan isn't quite solid yet, we may make some changes in order to make the story more interesting yet affordable. This week we also watched a few intros for crime documentaries to understand its conventions, traits and its subversions. This way we can tell apart what makes a documentary good and what makes it bad. 

Week 4

This week we did research on theories such as the Livingstone + Lunt theories, as well as learning some real life case studies and applying the theories we've learnt on it, this can help us answer case study questions better, and we can also apply our knowledge of the media in real life situations. This week we also did our storyboard as a plan on what we're going to do, basically the hard sketch on our scene plans. We also did location scout and risk assessment, discussing where our scenes should take place as well as plans and risks so that we come prepared. Lastly, we also started on our script to get a more detailed idea on how our story is going to happen so that during the rest of our planning, we won't have to keep making changes as we already know the base of our story.

Week 5

This week we did more research and did more planning for our shooting scenes. We scheduled the days that we're going to film and discussed the outline of our documentary.
