Week 1
In this week we filmed our first scene of Veronica (Yuden) in the school toilets, which she had bang her head on the wall and had to act like a psycho in school. As Yuden is a very good actor we only filmed that scene once of her in the school toilets.
After we filmed that scene we to film another scene that had the therapist (me) and his colleague (Lara) having a conversation in costa coffee about his patient Veronica. Unfortunately this scene didn’t really go to well, because there was too much noise and it didn’t really seem to well, because we went during lunchtime and it was a bit busy.

Week 2
In this we went back to Costa and filmed the scene between the therapist and his colleague again, but during the morning and it wasn’t that busy, so we managed to film the scene very smoothly. We managed to film this scene very quickly and went outside to film an establishing shot of the location that me and Lara was in. Lara and I had too look smart and professional we had to look apart.
Week 3
In this week we had to film classroom scene that Veronica (Yuden) had to walk in the class, scream and fall in the classroom suggesting to our audience that something mentally is going wrong with veronica. To be honest this scene didn’t really go to well, because the students that were supposed to be quite and do as I told them, they wouldn’t really listen and they consistently messing about and I didn’t really like the way the scene went. When I tried to edit the scene it didn’t look really good, because they weren’t doing as they were told. As you can see from Lara's facial expression this scene didn't really go to well.
Week 4
In this week we decided to film the scene between me and Yuden. We decided to film the scene in Lara’s living room; we thought that Lara’s living room looked like a cosy room that would look like a therapist office. The filming went very well, but when it came to editing it didn’t really look like a therapist office that would look cosy, it looked like a living room.
Week 5
In this week we filmed the restaurant scene with Yuden and Durim (Veronica’s Boyfriend) and we went to a restaurant in Old Street called “Carnevale” and I managed to book a slot with the owner of the business, so we can film the scene in private. The scene went very well and we all was happy with the way the filming went, because the location of the restaurant was perfect and the actors were doing very well in terms of there acting.
Week 6
In this week we filmed a scene of Yuden running from a long distance towards the school camera. This scene that we filmed was inspired from the famous horror movie “Get Out”. We think that this scene is very effective and that this would be a very cool shot for our audience to see, because it would change their view on Yuden. To be honest the footage didnt really go to our plan, because Yuden slipped a couple of times and for Yudens health and safety we decided to film the scene another day when the grass wasn't wet.
Week 7
This week we filmed the bathtub scene that Yuden would seem that she is drunk and that she is about to drown her self in her bathtub. While we was at Yuden’s house we filmed the kitchen scene between Yuden and Durim where he physically hits her. We thought that the scene was quite successful and we didn't find any major issues that required re filming.
Week 8
So this week we filmed the park scene, which was one of the most dramatic scenes in the teaser trailer as you see Veronica going crazy as she is having a panic attack on the swings. But this scene did take a long time, because it took a lot influencing from Lara to motivate Yuden to act like a crazy person on the swings.This scene went very well and we only had to shoot this only once.
Week 9
During this week we had to reshoot the scene between me and Yuden. So we decided to film in our Head teachers office. This scene went very well, but it didn’t really look like a therapists office and it didn’t look very realistic that it would be a therapist office. As I started to edit the scenes together the office scene didn’t really look too good. So I think we would need to reshoot the scene again. Another reason why we had to reshoot the scene again is, because i was wearing the same clothes from Costa.
Week 10
In this week we looked through all of our scene and we noted that we needed to reshoot, which was the Yuden running from a long distance towards the camera, the office scene between me and Yuden and the classroom scene that Yuden would have to walk and scream. So we decided to reshoot the office scene between me and Yuden in our school interview room, which it looked very good and it met our criteria on how the room would have to look. The scene went very well and we were all very happy.
Week 11
So this week filmed the running scene and we decided to get a larger lens that would attach on the camera, so we would be able to zoom in more and it would look better. During that week Yuden took our groups camera home and filmed a very short scene of her looking at a lighter and being amazed with the fire and it looks very cool and it would definitely make the audience question themselves about what is wrong with her.
Week 12
During this week we filmed the classroom scene again and this time we chose quiet and more respectful students to come and do the scene for us and used rolling base to put the tripod on, so it would help me film towards her smoothly
Without the camera shaking. This time we decided to turn our teachers whiteboard on so it wouldn’t show my reflection filming through the whiteboard.

Week 13
We all came up with this idea that we could have added to all of the scenes, which was to film Yuden walking like she is drunk and that she smash an alcoholic bottle on the floor suggesting that is a psycho. Afterwards during that week I started to edit more and started to place that footage and other footages in our timeline on Adobe Premier Pro.
Week 14
During this week I started to edit edit and put a lot of the scenes that we had filmed together. I had to research about how to do glitches and effects about on Adobe Premier Pro, so i can make our trailer more exciting and fun to watch to our audience. I learnt how to change the volume of the soundtrack and the characters when they were having a conversation so the the sound as a general would sound proffesional and good.
Week 15
During this week me and my group were consistently going over the the footages on the timeline and the glitches that i did , so it would look and seem professional when we was to post it on youtube. I started to place all the footages on the correct beat on the soundtrack, so it would look better. Towards the end of the week I posted the video on Youtube.
I learnt how to make glitches through a tutorial on youtube, which is very easy and simple, all that you have to do is you duplicate the footage that you want to make the glitch. Then you have to go on effect controls, then you open up motion and opacity. After that you have to change the positioning of the duplicated footage and then you have to change the opacity to the extend that you want to give the fade that you want to give to the footage. Meanwhile, when you're making those changes you then dots are going to appear while you're making those changes, which they are the programme making and saving the changes that you want it to make. After that you would have a glitch footage.
Week 16
So during this I had to complete and film my evaluation question, which was Question 4 (How have you used technologies in the construction of your media product?). I wanted to film and present my evaluation in a unique way that no one has ever done, i decided to do a live stream through Instagram pretending that i have my 'fans' asking me questions about how what technologies i used and how they worked. So what first was that i downloaded an app called 'Du Recorder', which what it does is that it records your screen when you want it to by pressing a play button. I downloaded the app so i could record the questions coming on to my phone. Then i made an Instagram account and i followed the people that were going to ask me the questions through the stream. After that i started the stream and then my followers asked me the questions that i already made and then i answered them and i managed to complete it first. After i filmed recorded the stream i emailed the footage to myself through one of my gmail accounts and i logged on the computer that i was going to edit the footage through premier pro and then i started to edit the footage. When i was editing my live stream i thought i would be very good if i could add videos of what i was trying to explain through the questions, so i added little videos on the corner of what i explaining and it started to make the evaluation more good and professional.
