Week 1: 30 - 5 Jan/Feb

We quickly decided what the layout would be - considering colour palettes and rules for each theme

And prepared fears and ads quickly for the presentation

Created a schedule

Week 2: 6 - 12 Feb

Had a talk with Helen and she suggested focusing on the question “what do you want out of this project?” - have you thought about this much?

Presentation went well - our idea was liked and we met deadlines we set up

Week 3: 13 - 19 Feb

Got good feedback and worked on it well

I wanted to start working/building ideas for the other themes but kept postponing because I couldn't think of anything

Week 4: 20 -26 Feb

I did meet the deadline for fears and ads WIP but I did very little in terms of progression

I also wanted to redo style frames but I didn't but I'm glad I didn’t waste time of that because the style frames are ultimately fine and aren't even graded and they also show how much progression I have done from initial concepts to final pieces

Week 5: 27 - 5 Feb/March

Work on timings for reactions

We were meant to finish fears and ads this week but me and the others were slightly behind but I imagine this is to be expected with most projects

Did more research - usually lack in research

I hadn’t focused on my theme much yet and I was a bit depressed so when asked I hadn’t done much

Week 6: 6 - 12 March

Finished fears - bon!!

Did some kings and queens concepts but none for transformations - at this point the concept was still quite confusing like the only way to understand it was to have actually animated examples

Everyone kept using words I wasn't familiar with - I guess I should have asked what they meant

Week 7: 13 - 19 March

Had to tweak fears

Finally got some transformation stuff done and it was a lot easier than I was expecting

Made no animatic for transformation and kings and queens tho

Week 8: 20 - 26 March

Did the animatics!! I feel they could have been better/ more interesting but for K+Qs I was drawing blanks #depression #anxiety

Week 9: 27 - 2 March/April

Made some progress with animating for transformations

Did a selection of intros for transformations

Added some details to fears and sorted out timing on ads

Enjoying transformations now

Excited for the final fears and ads

Week 10: 3 - 9 April

Worked more on transformations

Looked for farmer drama inspiration

Started intro animatics

Week 11: 10 - 16 April

Updated blogs

Animatic for farmer drama - very different from old version

Week 12: 17 - 23 April

Write out plan for Farmer drama and give it to the team - feeling more confident with the theme

Did more intro stuff and progressed on animatics for farmer drama

We decided because iI'mdoing intros im not participating in abstract mind

Week 13: 24 - 30 April

Pretty slow week in terms of actual work. It was more schedulling and preparing and fleshing out blogs

I did finish k+q and added some more details so I like it a little more than I did

Week 14: 1 - 7 May

More intro stuff

Worked and planned out much better this week making significant progress on farmer drama

Week 15: 8 -14 May

It’s funny how closer to the deadline i begin to work more efficiently because I had most of farmer drama finished by sunday - though i was quite stressed

I think the reason I felt like I had so much to do was because i had become accostumed to having an essay to hand in each project and this time around I didnt and so felt like I was missing something from my work

Week 16: 15 - 19 May

I have improved in my organisation skills but I need to be more consistant. Giving myself breaks is fine, and something I’ve always been good at, but when to know when you actually need a break and when you are just procrastinating because you are worried it will come out wrong.

Worked efficiently this week - managed to get all the video stuff finished relatively quickly

It’s not all finished - I think I could have had it finished if I had organised and been so wrapped up in my own head as I was this term.

I can see my editing skills on software like premiere and after effects are really lacking which I am upset with. I think if I had planned ahead more I would have realised how significantly they were lacking.

Tbh I think if I learn more over the next week and get on with it then I can actually improve my personal project and this collab projec for the degree show

I would’ve definately liked to have more work to show for this term.
