Process Journal-Entry 2



February 27th 2010

Today, I found out that there had to be an extra task added as well as a few tasks removed. Gathering the materials, and memorizing the lines were the tasks that were thrown out. This is because gathering the materials wasn't really needed and was basically instant. Memorizing the lines however was resolved by quickly glancing at a laptop containing the lines. Speaking of lines, this was the extra task. I had forgotten that I didn't have lines to say anything on my video and ended up spending a couple of days writing them. These two problems easily cancelled out because they luckily had the same amount of duration. Now, it was time to get started on my work.I started by writing the lines that were supposed to be said in the video. I started by looking at my brief script and using its bullet points to create the final script with all the lines for my video. First I started with the introductory scene and wrote down what each character would exactly say. I then moved on to scene 2 where I had to write down an interview. I created a few appropriate questions and used my investigation and other sources to answer them in detail. This took me around an hour.

The problems I faced were that I wasn't really following my Gantt chart and the exact timing and I had just found out that the deadline had been postponed to a different day. I also encountered another problem; I didn't know the roles of each character and who would be which character. To fix these problems I started by calling my friends and asking them if they can help film the video, after they agreed, I was able to complete the other task of choosing the roles of the characters which I did as I was writing down the final script. The other challenge I faced caused me to have to work faster but keeping the effeciency at its standard which is how I ended up finishing the script faster.

Here are a few screen shots of my progress:



These Screenshots show the work I had done that day which was finishing the final script of scene 1, 2 and the first few lines of scene 3.
