Production Log 6
1) What progress did you make since your previous entry?
Since my previous entry I have made progress, on Monday I was able to edit more of the footage that I already have to make sure that it goes in the order that I wanted it to by doing this I was able to see all the different changes that would need to be made and the things that I could possibly remove from the documentary if it did not fit accordingly where I had wanted it to go. On Tuesday I continued with the editing process and had begun to fill in some of the missing pieces to the work, in the evening I also managed to re-film the interview that I had done with the Kindle Owner as the first time we did the interview there was not much of the interview that I could use as the answers he had originally given did not go with the side that he was supporting. On Wednesday my teacher reviewed my work and told me that I should get rid of some of the clips, add music to my work, add some more cutaways, statistics and facts and that I should film some vox pops to make it more visually impressive. On Thursday I was able to add all the changes that the teacher had asked me to.
2) What logistical challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?
Throughout the week I filmed at many different times and had to make sure that when I was filming I did not occur any problems as it could affect the way it looked on the screen, when I went to film the vox pops for the work I went during the day hoping that I would be able to have clear shots, however mid way through filming a cloud covered us making it harder for me to film them clearly. I had also filmed an introduction to one of the interviews however when I had look at it on the mac it was dark so I re-filmed this particular shot.
3) What technical challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?
During the previous week I did not face any technical problems with the camera or the Mac so I was able to do the work that was needed of me and did not have to worry over all the problems that could have gone wrong as they hadn't making it easier for me to be able to do my work without disruptions.
4) What targets do you aim to achieve before your next entry?
As I have now finished the documentary this would be my last entry, all I now have to do is get it double checked by the teacher and see what they think and then export it onto the laCie drive and then do another export which I will upload to my blogger via Youtube.

Production Log 5
1) What progress did you make since your previous entry?
Since the previous entry that was made I have managed to film my intro for the documentary and I also filmed some shots in between that would make the documentary more interesting if I introduced the interviews before they happened, during this week I have also managed to edit more of the work and my work now has a structure to it so it looks more like a documentary rather than shots just placed together so by doing this I would know where to add the shots that were being re-filmed.
2) What logistical challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?
During this week I faced challenges when I was filming the intro as it was a split screen I had to make sure that when the two people where speaking the light in the room was the same so it looked like it had been filmed on the same day at the same time as the person in the split screen played both parts. In order for this to work I made sure that the living room light was on and the curtains were closed so that it looked like it was done in one go.
3) What technical challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?
The technical challenges that I faced was that the camera had run out of battery as we took a very long time trying to get the shots correct so I had to charge the camera whilst I did the filming otherwise it would have looked as though there were parts of the shot filmed at different times of the day and it also would have jumped when they are placed together.
4) What targets do you aim to achieve before your next entry?
By the time I do my next entry I hope to have filmed all the work needed and edited most f the work so that I do not have too much to do during the last few days as I do not want to have to rush around near the end.

Production Log 4
1) What progress did you make since your previous entry?
Since my previous entry I have continued with the editing that I had started during the last week and I finally managed to interview some people at another library to also get their views on what they think is a better way for someone to read a book, during the interview I made sure that where I had set up to do the interview was in a place where there was light but also to make sure that there was a clear shot in the back of a book shelf so that it clearly showed the topic of the documentary. I have also made some progress on the editing front as I have edited two out of the three interviews that had been filmed so that I could out the important parts of the interview.
2) What logistical challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?
During the process of the filming I did not face any logistical challenges as I had become more aware of what was happening and made sure that I was prepared for the weather before I had gone to do the interview.
3) What technical challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?
This week I did face technical challenges as the tripod I had taken out was slightly lopsided when you put the camera on it as it did not stay tight on the tripod so I had to make sure that when we were filming we had someone was holding on to the camera so that the shot would come out as straight as possible.
4) What targets do you aim to achieve before your next entry?
Before my next entry I hope to film the intro for the documentary and the outro, i also hope to have begun refilming all the work the work that did not come out right the first time that I had filmed it so that it looks better on the screen and is a lot clearer.

Production Log 3
1) What progress did you make since your previous entry?
Since my previous entry I have continued with my filming as I planned and managed to interview an A Level student who was willing to talk to me about her views and opinions on what she thought was better an eReader or a paperback book, in the same week I started to import all of the footage that I had previously so that they were on the macs. This allowed me to start editing during lesson as I began to edit the clips by deciding what I would need for the documentary and what I would not need for. During this week I also managed to decide what possible shots that I may need to re film.
2) What logistical challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?
During the process of filming the interviews I faced some logistical challenges as the lighting of the day kept changing so whilst i was filming the interview with the A level Student I had to make sure that I did the interview during a time when the sun would change as I did not want their to be a problem so I made sure that I filmed the interview during the day when the sun was at its highest.
3) What technical challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?
This week I did not face any technical challenges as I made sure that all the equipment that I had work and was fully charged before I would need to use them so that I did not have to worry over them when they would be needed.
4) What targets do you aim to achieve before your next entry?
Before my next entry I hope to have filmed my last interview with another librarian as they still had not gotten back to me during the past week so hopefully that will be filmed during the next week and I also hope that I am half way through the editing so that I will only have to do the re filming and the all the last parts of the editing.

Production Log 2
1) What progress did you make since your previous entry?
Since my previous entry I have begun by filming some of the footage that I would need for the documentary. I started off by filming one of the interviews that would e needed for the documentary as I needed it to make sure that it would be in the correct order when I later place it on the programme that would be used to edit my work. Whilst filming this interview I made sure that I had filmed cutaways so that the interview does not jump every time that I have cut in between and answer and the next question. I also managed to film another interview with a librarian who spoke to me about why libraries are good and the impact a paperback book has on someone.
2) What logistical challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?
During the process of filming the interviews I faced some logistical challenges as the lighting of the day kept changing so whilst i was filming the interview with the Kindle owner I filmed this in the kitchen so that the lighting did not change throughout the interview as the natural light from the sun kept the room bright. I also faced this problem when I was filming with Marcus the Librarian as the lighting throughout the library was different as they had building work going on due to the ceiling having had a leak, I overcame this by doing the interview by the side of the library where most of the light was coming through so that the shot could be clear.
3) What technical challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?
This week I did not face any technical challenges as I made sure that all the equipment that I had work and was fully charged before I would need to use them so that I did not have to worry over them when they would be needed
4) What targets do you aim to achieve before your next entry?
Before my next entry I hope to have filmed my two other interviews so that I have most of my footage done so that I can begin to edit all the work and place all the footage in the correct places of when they should occur as Ii do not want to have to rush at the end to get the interviews scheduled and then placed.
