Today I finished my equipment booking shit including risk assessment for both filming location in Manchester Metropolitan University and Mr. Amang’s house in Hazel Grove, Stockport.

Also I had to check with the technician to find out about lighting, due to the big size of the Redhead Lights which its comes with the big box and it’s a hard to handle it with out car so I checked it with the technician if there is any small size of light to collect but after checking with the technician unfortunately there isn’t any small size then Redhead lights so I have to sort this problem and I contact with Nyasha and explained about the problem of handling the lights and Nyasha will help me to collect the equipment by bringing his car, so I booked equipment’s for Friday 8/02/13, and I will start filming my project from Saturday 9/02/13 in Stockport and also I will film interview with Mr. Amang about his studies at the Manchester Metropolitan University in Manchester Metropolitan university’s gallery from Monday 11/02/13.

However, today I tried to gain more knowledge about how to use the camera while lighting are set up, so firstly I set up the lighting with gel and then I set up the camera and done white balance for it and I think I know what kind of format and setting I will use for my documentary, so I practiced on camera and lighting today and Rebecca were helping me to set up and also she acted as my guest and she sat on the chair while I was fixing the lights and camera.

As a part of my research I will contact Mr. Amang and will talk about the both location which I will film my project.

Also I will be meeting the Manchester Metropolitan University gallery to check the location of filming and also to get permission of filming, to get singed the filming consent form from some of the staff of management of the Manchester Metropolitan University gallery.

Also I need to make my Gantt chart ready for next week.

After finished college straight away I phoned Mr. Amang and I spoke to him about the project filming in Saturday, however, we both agreed to continue and start filming.

Also in my way home I visited the Manchester Metropolitan University for location check and also to get permission for film my interview with Mr. Amang in the University’s gallery. In addition I past the location release form for signature and I am waiting to get the result back from the University. The below picture is for prove that after I finished college straight away I contacted Mr. Amang.

In today lesson we had final presentation for our project (Self-Directed Project).

However, each student had 15 minute to preparer and present their ideas.

My time was at 3.10pm to 3.25pm, however, I came to college early in the day to print and be ready for my presentation time and made sure not to be late and also be prepared fully.

Moreover, after organising my folder with all the research and documents which I researched about my subject, then at the time of my presentation I was ready and went to presenting room,

Furthermore, I start my presentation really well and without any stress, I think I pitched really well and I was really confident and relax during my presentation. Also I think I was well organised my folder which I had to handed in, was good prepared and organised. During my presentation tutor just asked 2 question about my project and I answered both question, the questions was how will I fill the genocide subject which I mentioned in my treatment about the artist work, however, my project will be totally different to the past work which the artist done but the discussion of the artist archive work which his more famous in is genocide about Kurdish people but this project will be totally different to the discussion. Also the second question was about how many event I filmed before in past because I mentioned in my pitch that I am confident and relax using Sony V1 camera. However, the answer I gave was to show my YouTube Channel link which all of the project I have done in past is uploaded onto my Channel including the artist exhibition which held in Huddersfield, March 2012.
