  ★ week 1

this week Mr Nick taught us a lesson on the three stages of production that are production, distribution, and exhibition. I've also started my blog this week and published 7 posts that are Brief, Team, weekly progress & plan, preliminary research and research industry, audience and genre.

- ive started my blog and 

  ★ week 2

Today I've started my big research. i found it hard to see texts because the app netflix is blocked from my school so I couldnt watch movies from there. I also researched about the genre conventions of the genre i chose and made a paragraph on that. for my big research i chose two movies i have watched called as above, so below and smile. as above, so below is my favorite found footage type horror film and that is what inspired me to choose found footage type horror film for my media project genre

 ★ week 3

This week we finished up the research and we had to make 2 big researches that took me a very long time to finish and do, and afterwards I started on my small researches and we had to make 6 and it seemed overwhelming at first but once i started it was very easy to finish but i had to watch 6 movies that were horror and that was very tiring for me because i really did not want to watch it alone and i found it hard to do this task because i'm scared of watching horror movies by myself; plus i was home alone most of the week so I had to call a friend while watching for this research.

 ★ week 4

This week we started on statement of intent, although i wasn't present during the class because i was sick, my group helped me catch up and my group member Kellie sent me the statement of intent for me to put it one my blog. and then we had our theory lessons where we learned about vertical and horizontal integration, cross media conversions, synergy and media consolidation. we did a lot of class discussions and Mr Nick did a good job at making us understand the whole concept.

 ★ week 5

this week we started on our storyboards and screenplays, mr Nick showed me the format of a screenplay to help me with getting started. we also created and finished our storyboards which took a lot of time and effort to finish. this week we also had a unit assessment about media consolidation and someone in the classroom tried to cheat so mr nick took our notes and that got me a bad score, so next time i will study harder. 

★ week 6

 This week Mr nick helped the whole class create a screen test, a lot of us weren't ready or experience so it turned out badly and a lot of people were shy. either way, none of our classmates results really fit into our found footage horror criteria so we will be looking for actors outside the classroom. hopefully we can find a good actor to act in our opening scene. this whole week was project lesson too so all we did was check off our blog to do lists
