Script Writing & Comm Studio 4 The End!!!

Script writing was a bit missing in action somewhat but based on what I did learn it will help me in writing better scripts in the future. My recommendations however would be that script writing because a component of Comm Studio I don't see the need for them to separate. Comm Studio was very eventful but fulfilling it brought broken friendships within my group back together. I enjoyed the experience and I look forward to more great moments in Comm. Studio 5

The End...


  We ended shooting on Sunday and can I tell you I am so happy its over .We had lots of fun but it was a very very long process. However being in a group where all members showed interest in getting the work done helped. We got it all done with limited problems and I'm very thankful to God for that the work still continues as editing gets under way and we do hope everyone enjoys the end product.

The wind came in...


 Today, my group was scheduled to shoot at 11am we got our equipment and strutted off to our location when after setting up we realized that the wind was too much and our ever sensitive wireless mics picked up every bit of it. We then decided it was in  the best interest of our production to reschedule our shoot for Sunday. We could have gone ahead with our shoot by using the boom mics however another groups selfish attitude saw our mic being present at their shoot. Well we decided to use the day instead to do some editing so the day wasn't completely wasted.

How it all started

    Honestly my group got off to a really good start. We were very organized and everyone was comfortable with the roles that they received. We started out with "Battle of the Princesses" which saw us going the extra mile by having shoots on Sundays Mr.Dixon was very helpful and guided us at the start. our shoots were scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays and we maintained that schedule throughout the entire semester. It's my hope that the editing purpose will be a smooth and stress free one. Difficulties faced were students walking in and out of our frames and group members hectic schedules. Hopefully the outcomes will be a wonderful and fulfilling one.

Let the Projects Begin!!!!!

     This week saw miss being out as she was feeling sick in the past this would have been a fun week for students as we could get some free time, some time for ourselves but  this was not to be. We had to use whatever free time we had to get our projects under way as the story board was due this week. My group was a bit shaky to begin with as we have had problems deciding on the perfect concept for our group however we went ahead and got our storyboards completed. I look forward to shooting this week and getting our projects completed as quickly as possible.

Hectic times ahead...




    This week my group had the task of completing our scripts, treatments and scene outlines for our group assignments. It proved to be a tedious task but our group is focused and well organized and we got the work done in a timely fashion. This first phase showed us exactly how much work we really have to do in a limited amount of time. Look out for more posts on the development of our presentations has they prove to be entertaining and leave you wondering what just happened.

Ask...before you post

Script writing class yesterday saw us exploring the world of copyrighting now I was aware that we needed to ask permission for the use of certain documents, pictures and so forth but I didn't know I had to actually go forth and ask permission for the use of certain pictures on my personal blog. Now I'm a person who tries to blog each day and I speak mainly on issues affecting Jamaica I do try to use my own pictures but at times I do venture in the world of breaking the copyright rules that others have imposed. The discussions in class saw us thinking about artists locally and internationally who have used songs of other artists and whether or not they had permission to do so.Some of the artists names that came up where Whitney Houston, Kanye West and even Elephant Man. By the end of class I was left thinking long and hard about the consequences that we could face. Miss even went on the say that our course should include a legal section where we are educated on how we go about the legal aspects of journalism and so forth. I learnt a lot in class and going forward i will ensure that I ask before I post.
