Prodution Managemet Dairy

Diary 1

Today is 20/04/2010; I start planning the idea on production management video on rough page. There are different kinds of ideas are coming out in my mind.

Diary 2

I watched different kinds of video based on two genres: one is horror and second one is culture. The horror one was quite hard to make it as my own video idea because all the videos were animated and too scary to be filmed by me.

Diary 3

After doing the research and watched several videos on these two genres I finally made a decision that I will make a video based on culture.

Diary 4

I decided to do the rough brainstorm on the page and right down some rough ideas and notes based on culture.

Diary 5

By using my rough notes and all the information, which I write down on the piece of paper and my research work I finally come up with in a idea. I then gathered all of these work together and made a decision that my video will be based on culture of Punjab and I will show the wedding ceremony that how they celebrate their wedding.

Diary 6

After that I start working on that who will be my target audience and to whom I will allow to watch my videos. Deciding the audience was not very difficult to think as the video will going to be on culture so therefore I want to share with all the people specially those one who did not know about the Punjabi culture.

Diary 7

Today I started organizing my production paper work. I start felling out the storyboards, shooting schedule, call sheet, risk assessment and the script forms.

Diary 8

After filling all the forms, I start filming the scenes of the videos which will represent that how the people from Punjab celebrate their wedding. The scene I filmed is based on the function called Rasm-e-Hina, in Urdu Mehndi. This day is one day before the marriage/wedding day and it happened always in the evening or night times.

Diary 9

It was hard to capture all the moments happening in the function, as there were so many people who were keep coming on my way. Because of many people there I hard to set the tripod as I was feeling the risk of dropping it. What I did I hold the camera in my hand and filmed the scene all the way through my videos.


Diary 10

After finishing the scenes of my videos, I start uploading the footage on the Imovie and start doing the editing. The whole editing process was not fine but was not bad either. It was just ok. I cut some of the scene and used that scene which would be effective and will leave the good impact for audience.

Diary 11

Today I finish of with all the paper work and editing process, now I start going to work on my evaluation. By the end of this week I hope I will hand all the work related to this unit to Chris.
