Week Commencing 3/5/10

03/05/10:-
Bank holiday monday; today my reseach time was restriced due to the fact I was at work. However when I got home I was able to rehearse my own section of the pitch and make sure the issues and reasons were fully explained and related to our pitch.

Re-pitch: Our idea has been commisioned; although we did have a few problems:- some areas that werent relevant were still left in our presentation. However we had re-hearsed well, but we hadn't took notice of our style very well - they believed we had a similiar style to the gadget show but we had looked at Charlie Brooker for style. We then agreed to come into college the next day to get on with work.

05/05/10:-
Today was our first attempt to capture game footage from PS3 and XBox 360 straight into final cut pro. However when we attempted it we had no input coming through into final cut pro. We started discussing ways in which we could work around this. We decided to attempt to do it using a DVD recorder linked to the console and then link this up to the TV.

06/05/10:-
Today we started breaking down all of the areas of pre-production; I was given - treatment and health and safety/risk assesment. So I updated the treatment and started writing up the health and safety forms ready for productions for each location we were working at.

Today was spent discussing contacts and continuing with pre-production. We also carried on looking at style. I looked at the gadget show and started noting down which sections I wanted to imitate.
