Progress Report

Oooh only 2 weeks to go! :D Well this week has been pretty good, finally got the white flash sorted out, and it looks pretty good...i think it creates a more shocking effect to the audience which is exactly what we need. The opening is nearly sorted as well just need to add the finishing touches! But as Mr Bush said we need to re do Amrits scene again, with a few extra propps, eg mascara! Also, this week we shud hopefully sort out whos doing the voice over, and what needs to be said so that we can get that done as soon as possible! Cant wait for tuesdays late night editing!!! :D shud be interesting!!

Self Assesment

Attainment: 2 – i would say that I have generally done quite well, and learnt a lot of new aspects of media within the first term, however I feel that in certain lessons I do not learn as much.
Effort: 2 – I try to put effort into all my work, especially homework. However, my class work could be a bit more detailed in terms of note making.
Punctuality: 1 – I make sure that I come to lessons on time, and I’ve attended all the lessons for both teachers (when I am in school)
Submission and quality of homework: 1 – I always hand in my homework the day it was due, and I put effort in all my homework, ensuring that both presentation and content of the work is at the best of my ability.
Ability to work independently: 2 – I think I work fairly well by myself, with out other students and the teacher, however I could try to get to work straight away, making sure I do not waste any time.
Quality of writing: 2 – most of my work is detailed, and is completed to the highest of my ability, however I could improve by taking more detailed notes in all the lessons, which would be more useful for revision.
Organisation of media Folder: 1– all my media work is in a media folder, however some of the work is untidy, and so I could neaten up my notes, and certain handouts given by the teachers.
Oral contributions in class: 2 – I sometimes contribute in lessons, however I can improve this by contributing in all lessons, with both teachers.
Comments & contributions to the Macguffin blog: 3 – I add comments for homeworks, however I do not add any other comments. I could also try to add more detailed comments for the home works.

Targets

Try to contribute more in lessons.
Make sure that all my work is presented well, and is put into my media folder.
Put more effort in the work set on the macguffin blog, to ensure it is of high standard.

Progress Report...

Wednesday 26th February:
Well we got started in the editing this week, and have captured all the footage which i must say was extremely tedious! but uhmm yeahh got that done, well we had to familiarise ourselves with the software, but i think we've got the hang of it now... also made a couple of storyboards, trying to figure out the actual structure of the documentary. We've also got all the music that we may want to use, so thats sorted. Next week we will start the actual editing.

Week beginning 5th March: Oooh well we wanted to edit the archive footage, however then found out that we couldnt just get that straight from the internet (bbc) so we then had to go and film that another time. But we've got started on the editing and have got some of amrits scene done...took awhile as we have loads of footage to cut, and we have to be really precise with the cutaways...but looks pretty good!

Domestic Violence

To show the audience what other aspects our documentary will be dealing with, i thought I'd add some extra information!! :D

Domestic violence is the power of men to control woman by physical force. Because it takes place behind closed doors it is extremely difficult to measure and document. Many woman fail to report violence because they feel they may not be taken seriously or because they are afraid of the repercussions. Acts such as kicking and punching are easily recognized, however behaviour such as threats, verbal abuse, psychological manipulation and sexual intimidation may not be necessarily seen as domestic violence.

Feminists beleive that domestic violence is a problem of patriarchy, and the violence may be an attempt to re-exert and maintain power and control.

• Although domestic violence is chronically under reported, research estimates that it:
  accounts for 16% of all violent crime.
• Has more repeat victims than any other crime (on average there will have been 35 assaults before a victim calls the police)
• Costs in excess of £23bn a year.
• Claims the lives of two women each week.
• Is the largest cause of morbidity worldwide in women aged 19-44, greater than war, cancer or motor vehicle accidents.
• Will affect 1 in 4 women in their lifetime.
