Production Journals Thursday 1st September 2011

Now, we have the film material to edit and work on it. We have the material that we film and with what we have to work to do and interesting documental about 4-5 minutes long. First, we do a copy of the material and then we work on changing B-ROLL footage. We work along an hour through this, to have our documental in the best form possible.

Production Journals. Monday 29th August.

Monday, a monday of hard work that we have to do, in Tuesday 23rd we get out to the streets to film our documentary movie. We have some problems here, because some people dont want to be film by us, or they want to be film but not the face, so we have to film some images of the place without the person that is being interviewed, also we use a sound-recorder to have a best record of what people said, so the sound, we can hear it. Also, we cant film a bus driver that was our idea, but was really difficult to do this. Finally another problem that we may have to affront was the sound, we have to carry a voice recorder to have a better sound and then introduce it after with the images of the camera, the battery of the camera dont was a problem because we carry two or more cameras.

Production Journals Thursday, August 18.

18 August, we work in the documentary planning. Our documentary ovbiously is made up with a lot of interviews. The interviews have to be seem profesional. To help us with the interviews we see interviews of the documental "Super Size me". We saw the techniques of the camera, to introduce the audience to the interview subjects, we analyze if the question is really needed to show for the audience, the research that Spurlock have to do to create the documental and finally the movement of the camera. Taking all this, Tuesday 23rd we can go out to the streets and film the main part of our documental!

Production Journals. Thursday, 11 August

Today, we, Toto Productions have to hand in the location list, we have it nearly finished to hand it in. In our group we complete all B-roll footage, and include a shot list to do a complete work. We have to solve some problems in the location list to define places, but we can solve it and is all right. The deadlines we can submit all in time.

Production Journals. Thursday August 4.

Today in Toto Productions, we have to search the locations of where we were going to shoot our video. We need this information:

-Deciding where you plan to shoot video
-Visiting sites ahead of time to get a sense of the space
-Planning the order in which you will shoot in different
-Locations
-Identify what the best shots are in each location

With this information we do a document filling this information in and give this in before a deadline that we have. The document show to us where we are shooting in, the order we will shoot in them (including dates you will film/have filmed), and still shots with the name of location.

Production Journals: 4th July

In Toto Productions we start to prepare the our production journal. To prepare this we have to spend 25 minutes preparing or starting to write our production journal. Also discuss our textual analysis of Eden Lake and seeing this with our feedback. The production journal is the work that evaluates us individually, are the individual records of our documentary work. The production journals evaluate our work so far, the successes that you have, what problems do you have and how you solved them, what changes do you have to do? , what are you going to do next?

Production Journals: Friday June 10

In Toto Productions, for our documentary we choose a problematic that is frequent in Argentina. The driving in Argentina, our country that is in the top five of the world ranking in the car accidents. We think that this problematic is not so hard to search information about, for example interviewing people that drives out in the street all day, the man that drive taxis out in Capital Federal, is easy and safer to us, searching the information about this problematic. My role in this project is the camarographer.

Starting this projects in Toto Productions first we choose to film public schools in Argentina but really was a problem to find information about it, entering the public schools was a problem.. so we change the problematic for our document.
