Week 19th-23rd April

Monday 19th

Our group had a meeting on our idea as we had doubts over the weekend if it was going to work. We wandered if the idea would make a good documentary and would get us the grades we wanted. we thought about the different aspects to the topic and which one would make the best documentary. We talked with John Branney to see his views on the idea and what he thought.
We finally decided that the idea would be a good idea and would work for a documentary.

Tuesday 20th

The group got together and started to get some research into the topic. we thought about what we will need to do for our pitch and scheduled the week. we looked into previous medieval documentaries but found it hard to find some which was a good sign as it showed our idea is original. we started to think about questionnaires and how it would benefit our group.

Thursday 22nd

I started my presentation, I made a few slides and added information that we had already produced. In our group we discussed what we needed to do and who needed to do it. I was assigned to get some Ofcom and PRS research. I went onto the website and looked at some of the guidelines and made it into a word document. At the end of the day i added this information into the presentation.

Friday 23rd

Today the group was mainly focusing on the presentation and adding all the information in. Today i did research into the advertising and also added this into the presentation. In the lesson at the end of the day we practised our pitches.

Friday 16th April

Today both of the groups got together in the lesson. all the groups discussed ideas which we had thought of over the week. John simon and myself got together in our group and talked about ideas which we had thought of. our ideas which we had come up with were
-Bin-men
-the life of a taxi man
-Greek history
-BNP
-The Circus
-Medieval Re-enactments

The group consulted the ideas and finally decided that the medieval re-enactments would be the best idea for a documentary. Graham helped us with our idea and told us the different aspects to the topics as he used to work in one of the main places for it. I started to watch some videos of the re-enactments and how they worked. I then researched into the institutes that hold the events. I also wrote down a few numbers for these institutes which i would later on compose into a contact list.

Monday 12th April

Today we received the assignment brief for our Final Major Project. We had a brief about the project with the lecturers. Simon,John and I were in a group for the final major project. We then had to mind map ideas for our documentary in our groups. we worked mainly on our ideas and asking lecturers what ideas would be the best to produce into a documentary.
