Week 1

First day back in Media studies lesson. I wasn't there but the teacher introduced us with documentary topic. 

Week 2 

In this week we were introduced with the brief section. I'm feeling excited since me and my team are going to make a short crime documentary movie. 

Week 3

In this week, me and my team Gio, Carrick, and Jaden decided to film a crime documentary film inspired by Donald J Trump's shooting incident. Besides that, we also learnt a new theory which is called Livingstone & Lunt. Im really pumped and excited because I've always wanted to make a film and get the experience of it so this is my first timer. All we need to do is rent some random white guy on kuta area and pay him to be an actor on our documentary film since Carrick doesn't want to appear on our documentary film project. 

Week 4

In this week, we finalize our storyboard and script to start our shooting section. We also learned about Media Regulations and Power and The Media. I'm not a huge fan of this theory lesson since I find it so boring and I'm also not into politics. What I'm looking forward is the  shooting section for the documentary film.

Week 5

In this week, we did our documentary film project script and location scouting, we also did our filming schedule and storyboard for our crime documentary film project. We also learned new theories such as Media Representations which is very boring, all theories lesson are very boring in my personal opinion. We watched an Indonesian crime documentary film called "Ice Cold" which is very interesting. Anyways, me and my team need to rush and hurry up with our film project cause we got no time to lose.

To-Do List:

• Practice scenes for the crime documentary film.

Self-Reflection:

The progress tracker was really useful for helping me stay on top of things, showing me where I was, where I needed to go, and how to get there. It made it easy to jot down notes each week, which helped me stay more organized. However, I did find it a bit tricky to keep track of everything at times. There were moments when I fell behind on something and didn’t realize until later because I got caught up with another task.
