Weekly Production Logs:
17.06.2016:
Today, I organised paperwork which was required of me in order for me to complete the work which was required for my Documentary to take place as well as got my camera which would enable me to start filming scenes in my documentary as I was unable to do so before due to the fact that I didn't have a camera which was allocated to me. In terms of interviews, things are moving a bit slow in the sense that I haven't recieved much replies from those who I emailed concerning the documentary which therefore meant that I have to continue to persist and await replies whilst also looking for others who may be interested which is really stressful.
I have also began to create a plan or a structure for my Documentary so that when it comes to actually filming, I am aware of what each scene entails and what specifically I need to film rather than having something which I do not understand and then struggle to film when it comes to that stage so I have decided to create a plan to enable me to map out my thoughts.
19.06.2016:
Today, I spent my Sunday evening gathering my two friends Jaqueline and Presly at my house where we were able to get some filming done for both of our documentaries which was very exciting and insightful as it was the first time which i filmed for my documentary as well as Presly however we were not able to record as much as we could because the lighting was very bad and my professional camera which we had previously decided to use because it had better quality was out of battery.
21.06.2016:
I used my time in media to be able to record some more interviews with two members from my class which i was able to take out for a while and interview which was quite productive. I was also to begin to get the visual side of my documentary ready by starting to add videos and graphics to my documentary.
27.06.2016:
Here I began creating the Intro of my Documentary which is a moving collage made up of videos which required me to go on on youtube and learn how to do so through watching tutorial videos which was actually quite helpful. I also played around with different songs in order to try and see which one fits best and was able to find the end result.

Evaluation of News Package
In this parody news report we had to use humour and take real life conventions used in a news report and twist them around to show "how not to report the news". We had to make sure our mode of address wasn't formal and that we were completely going against the rules of a traditional normal news report. A news report would consist of formal/appropriate use of language and our parody version didn't comply or follow any of the conventions which are shown in my blog and were previously shown.
Our link to the studio who was Presly who wasn't wearing any formal clothing in the parody version that were was suitable. She was wearing a Bodycon Dress which showed she was not presented appropriately and my mode of address in terms of tone and accent was in a "south London" accent as well as language which would definitely not be used in a formal setting. When it came to looking directly at the camera, she didn't do so as she was too focused on other things such as her hair and his phone. this did not conform with the address in which I was supposed to do as a new reporter and went against the rules.
The field reporter played by Ariana had the role of not paying attention and not being aware of his surroundings, a traditional news report famously has the field reporter walking slowly towards the camera and talking about the subject of matter. We decided to "take the mick" out of that and use that in our parody but with me saying how I have no idea on whats going on, we then followed it on with a mimicked panning shot that the news tends to do a lot of the time.
A normal news report would have interviews with random members of the public or experts in an area. In our parody version of the news report we had an interview however it did not follow the conventions of a formal interview. At first the field reporter wasn't paying attention and was "making jokes" with a random member of the public (Chrystella). In the Parody created by our group we cut to the actual interviews with a "random member of the public" who was meant to have some information about the topic. The field reporter then is told he is live and proceeds to the main story.
Before the actual parody of a News Package actually took place we had to show a technical difficultly screen to show how unprepared we are. This would in effect add to the humour and show the inappropriate timing of our studio service. this is not usually seen on national television especially on the news as in reality they'd try their best to avoid any mishaps like this whereas we showed to not give any care when doing so especially in terms of the talking that happened behind the camera and the behaviour shown by the person in the study which is Preslu.
