March
2015
This is when the group had started to discuss ideas that we could use for a storyline for
our short film. This had to be an idea that we could agree on, with the factors that we
could work together and we would enjoy making the film.
4th
March
2015
Out of all of the ideas we thought of, we narrowed it down to 3 ideas. We then decided
on what would be the idea we used for our short film. This film had a familiar tone with
us and felt the audience would understand it.
10th March
2015
Around this time we had to make a pitch for our short film, filling the audience with basic
information that would be contained in our short film.
We planned and divided what the group did. Stevie and I made the pitch, agreeing that
Niamh would have to speak during the presentation, as well as Stevie and I.
11th March
2015
This was the day we showed our film pitch to an audience of peers and “producers”.
From this we got feedback, what went well and what we could improve.
Once we had the information back, we started to plan when we would start filming.

March
2015
We met up on this day with our actor and started to film scenes of our short film.
Due to realising how many shots we needed and the time that we met, we couldn’t get all
of our footage in one day, so we agreed to continue on the next Sunday, for the group
and our actor were all free at this time.
17th
March
2015
Due to new information given to us by our superiors and the time we had to work on pre-
production work, the group started our reports. This needed the information of research
and our target audience.

2. 18th
March
2015
We have continued our production work and added more information into our reports.
This was to fill out some blank information into our ideas so we could decide what we
could do with this extra information.
22nd
March
2015
From what we previously agreed, we met up once again with our actor and filmed the
footage we could not get the week before. This was a success and we finished pour
filming. We checked on the footage and agreed this is what we needed.
25th
March
2015 At this time the group looked over all of the work we had completed to check if we
needed to change, re-write or add anything into documents for our pre-production
work.
14th
April
2015
We have discussed and fixed our problems that we had during filming, which also
showed in our short film, which was having our camera portrait instead of landscape.
We have also discussed about what can hook our audience into our short film, since our
production lacked a hook, so we came up with a few ideas.
15th
April
2015
I and another member of the group (Stevie) met after school hours to take images that
we were missing from work for the storyboard and recee.
19th
April
2015
The whole group met and discussed what we needed to do to finish of relevant and
missing work, as well as decide what our extra and added scenes were going to be.
21st
April
2015
This is when we decide that our hook was to be in the form of a can and started to make
these ideas into our short film.
22nd
April
2015
We continued to finish all of our pre-production work and plan out what we were to do
on the 26th
so then we knew what we were doing.
26th April
2015
We met on this day so we could finish off extra footage for our short film, including
extra scenes and the hook that we previously talked about.

On this day we shared the footage of our short film and individually edited the short film
so we had our own versions.
