all members present.
today we prepared our media products and presentation, as we displayed our workings to scott smith today at 11:30. we showed our promo material, our webpage design, and our pilot demo, alongside our presentation layout and structure. we were pleased to hear that we have considered all areas of the project, from scott, although it is necessary to fully flesh out all details for this presentation.
after this we organized our materials, as well as presentation data, in order to assign individual task for the last day before presentation revision is primary, so the key goal today is to complete all outstanding work and assemble all works into presentation.
currently we are a little behind on schedule, but are all able to complete the necessary tasks, as well as being able to designate a day solely for presentation revision.

Filming & More Research
Last week, we finished writing the script and we shot the footage for the television promo on Friday for Death Staff. We also recorded some voice-overs for the narration and for the end of the video. Kiran made the props we used and edited the footage over the weekend.
additionally, Adam C edited music to function onto sections of the video, and Adam T also created a revised document, with a more in depth description on the story arc, plot, character profiles and type of humour.
Across the week we have taken some time research some show demographics, such as mobile device usage, popularity and show statistics. This was all research to support the new media requirement.
Kiran has continued to finish character designs as well as begin design work on the web page.

20/10/11 = 11am -
members present:
we also decided that having a narration sequence to start the film scenes would be a good idea, in a similar fashion to little britain's tom baker sequence. we chose adam t to be the narrator of the sequence, and is fleshing out the script.
adam c is creating and compiling more music samples to have more variety. some ideas for the 3rd sample have been made with the astro farm theme in mind, particularly the pace and upbeat nature of the song.
we also did some research into early theme tunes that were catchy and analysed why they were catchy.

on monday we attended the group meeting with scott smith to go over our most recent works, as well as where we should go form here, all members were present. we took out some additional reading materials for the group to read, as well as classic sci fi films that have been most useful at identifying science fiction niche's. we met up before the tutorial to discuss story arc and finalize any ideas about the plot. we also were introduced to prezi, which proves to be a very impressive form of presenting, and began conjuring up ideas about how our presentation can look, and hold a sci fi-esk feel. time of meetings were from 11am to 4pm
on tuesday adam c, adam t and mickey met up and began working on the script for a scene that we have decided to create. we decided that it will solidify our pitch idea if there were scene footage available for the assessors to see, and get a rough idea of how the shows humour and behaviour will be broadcasted. time of meeting were from 12pm to 2pm
today we elaborated on the script and were able to fully flesh out 4 seperate scenes of the show and begin test acting the scripts out. we decided that the main members acting out the scenes will be myself and mickey. additionally i have started reading books, particularly in "from alien to the matrix". part of the book analyses the film "galaxy quest", and how its a well made comedy sci fi film. we will be looking into this to see how the film displays its humour. time of meetings were from 11am to 4:30pm

Television Promo & Studio Shoot
Today we began writing the script for the series television promo. The basic outline of the sketch involves the two writers of the film, Bob and Tom, being in the middle of a heated argument over whether or not light-years is a measurement of time or distance.Whilst arguing, they notice that they are actually being filmed at the time by the production crew, which makes them quickly change gears and start talking about the series and promoting it. This will act as a form olf advertising for the series aswell as a kind of prequel.
We have also booked the studio for Friday where we intend to shoot this sequence and also some stills for the promo posters which we plan to create.

today we took a step back to look into our current project progression and our current strengths within the project as a whole. we agreed that our weaknesses lie within the research section of the project, and therefore is what we focused on today. we looked into readin materials that covers tv, film, music, design and story telling, and then split the material to sort through relevant material efficiently. here are the list we chose to look up:
although we are uncertain as to how relevant these materials are to our work, they proved to be more relevant than other reading materials we discovered. our aim is to research relevant material from these books, as well as watch (research!) films and tv shows to further solidify our ideas.
here are some of the media we will be covering:
my current work progression involves completing character designs for the show, as well as begin designing prototypes of website design for the show, and a 3d model representing the space office.
work progress has been slow for the group due to illnesses, so we hope that next week will be more productive.
- classic sci fi
- alien zone
- art of wall-e
- art of ratatouille
- alien to matrix
- cinematic storytelling
- 100 modern soundtracks
- brangwyn hall organ
