Reflective Log

Friday 28/03/2020 Week 1 
For the beginning of the week Wednesday 26/02/2020 we have done some research on Areas of London we want to do for our FMP.

On Thursday 27/02/2020 we've done some Premiere Pro work on editing still images on Evolution of different Movie or tv shows or what people choose to do it by, My idea was to create an evolution of the Joker how it changed in the past years what actors played and some information on them.

On Friday 28/02/2020 in today's lesson, we did some more research and continued out work on researching and analyzing Magazine Spreads, a screenshot from a video that represents London Tourism and a Website related to London Tourism, also towards the end we set up our Blogger webpages.

What I really found fun doing was the Premiere Pro edit because I really like editing videos as I've practiced editing at home or in my spare time as from the start i found it really fun to do. 
Then on the Thursday we had a trip to the museum of London which was quite a good trip, the museum shows the history of London, the wars, the riots, the royalty, to the celebrated events, it was enjoyable, taking images, reading the blots of information was really intriguing, sometimes I struggled as my back was starting hurt, but luckily I was able to experience as much as I could, overall it was a fun trip and glad I was able to experience it.


Friday 6/03/2020 Week 2
This week we had to do some research on Yoni Alter a famous art and design producer, the reason we had to research his was because we had to create one of his most famous things that he’s known for Art print in photoshop, We had to use photoshop to create our own Art print on the theme London.
Wednesdays lesson we had to write about different file formats


Week 3 13/03/2020
This week i completed some stuff that i had unfinished most important settings up my new pages for the blog, and creating a Animated image for the first time that is related to what we are currently doing. I found that really easy as before i didnt use Animated i used After Effects which ended bad at the end but creating an animated image was really easy.



Week 4 20/03/2020
Lockdown started we started working from home a lot changed as i dont have the programs i need at home to create what i need and that will bring some of my work to a lower quality and expectation. The work is fair but i can't access my pc which has some softwares and now am using a laptop that isnt fast, but i am still tying and completing some important work that i am missing badly.

 This whole week we had to fix up our faults on the FMP what we are missing and what can be improved, I feel like i have done some parts good and the parts that were missing are all uploaded on their sections except that i will be working onto more stuff to make them better and completing the ones that are missing.


1/5/2020

This week went horrible due to a massive network servers fall, A lot of people that have Virgin Media has experienced this problem some haven't but from the start of the week (Monday night) my network decided to lose connection at first i thought it was a massive packet lose or something so i left it then Tuesday i still couldn't access the internet then i saw on my phone that there is a massive network fall on Virgin Medias servers, This whole thing lasted until today Friday where my internet came back up but it isn't the best as sometimes you can still see a lot of lose packets which brings down downloading speed and uploading in this instance i really need to download a lot of videos for my FMP film, This week really put a hold on me because i was getting behind on some work now i am behind on 2-3 days of work from all  my subjects, However since this morning i got all my saved links that ive researched from my phone and i downloaded some stuff i will be using in my film, i am also working over times late at night to get my project finished somehow because my PC will not turn on and my laptop doesn't have a strong unit to run the Adobe programs i will be using, From today "Friday" i will be working over nights and more hours over the lessons to get it finished then i will be working on other stuff i haven't completed and behind with.

8/05/2020
This week didn't go as i wanted i've been down motivated after getting food poisoning, my stomach hurt really bad for the rest of the weekend i barely got to eat anything or drink i wasnt to comfortable doing so, this put me in a very bad lack of motivation on working because i didnt get out of bed until it was all clear but i still managed to do some stuff as well as completing some uncompleted work like the leaflet exp and then back to editing.


15/05/2020
This week i wasn't focused with anything than media other subjects were excluded for me but at the end of the week i managed go get some work done, This time we got a link where we can compare old years FMP with ours to see at what level we are at this helped but didnt really because there was only one video which i believe it was a pass,

22/05/2020
This week has been tight for me after looking and getting some feedback on some work that i need to do i done a questionnaire on the video to help me with getting it better and putting it together, I AM VERY very angry after a lot of time spend and lost nights i had some clips where they weren't the best of best and i made the decision to take them out and DO MY RESEARCH again on new videos, so this time i found a perfect video and shows around London's super stores of streetwear and sneakers and its exactly what i need for my project so i went over and deleted the whole project out the way and adding the new one, TBH i am a little happy how it turned out because the filming was professional and this REALLY helped out, before i released my questionnaire i only had music playing in the background and text on the screen, i wasn't really feeling right with that so the first question on the questionnaire is "Do you think the audio should be Mixed with TALKING or just MUSIC" after the replies i got the most voted was MIXED, so this time i had to go back into downloading the whole original video audio and getting 3-4 seconds of audio of the person representing the video and putting it exactly in the correct place and mixing the audio with music, This sounds like simple stuff and it is but when you dont have a strong pc to work with the work is not easy anymore because A LOT OF CRASHED and unsaved work and slowness frustrates you so much, That's why in the past week i ruined my sleeping pattern having exactly no sleep at night and sleeping for 1h each morning before lesson starts, this ruined my attendance and punctuality as well because the tiredness gets to you and you miss you alarm and oversleep just for losing nights,

however i am very disappointed how this turned out and i will make my best to make it as good as possible but it really isnt easy editing when you can make a playback speed of 1/2 or 1/4, This is all myself to blame for getting my good pc to break during this pandemic where i cant really take it no where to fix it, a lot of the timing lost is during Exporting and rendering as it takes a long time, but i will be working as well as losing my nights (Thursday now) again to somehow make the video look professional.
