A documentation of my experience in this module from 18/1/2024 to 6/6/2024
Entry 1 (18/1/2024)
Today, I have made initial thoughts on this module. I have detailed that I have experience with film making but I do not know who to make a profile film about.
Entry 2 (25/1/2024)
Today, I have begun working on the Statement of Intent for the brief that I intend on completing. I still haven't chosen the person I plan to make a profile film about.
Entry 3 (1/2/2024)
Today, I have begun deciding on who to make a profile film about. I have also made more progress on the Statement of Intent, and the only work left to be done on it will be answered when I have decided on who to make a profile film about.
Entry 4 (8/2/2024)
Over the last week, we were given a lesson on editing and how different techniques are used in video editing. We were also given the task of writing a piece of research around the module we are doing and around creative professionals.
Entry 5 (22/2/2024)
Over the last week, I have chosen who I want to make my profile film about. I have chosen to make my profile film about Danny Stanton, a dirt trail builder for a local mountain bike park. I have been researching any ways of contacting Danny (as he has recently moved to New Zealand) for an online interview and I have found that he has a YouTube Channel and an Instagram account.
Entry 6 (29/2/2024)
Over the last week, I have been working on a presentation about the profile film I will be making about Danny Stanton. I have not yet had the opputrunitie to show my presentation this week, so I will spend some more of my free time updating my presentation for when I need to show it next week.
Entry 7 (7/3/2024)
Over the last week, I have been making contact with Danny Stanton, the person I plan to make my profile film about. We have discussed about how we will record the interview and he shared where I can gather archive footage of the Hollow and its previous builders.
Entry 8 (14/3/2024)

Entry 9 (21/3/2024)
Over the last week, I have been tasked to colour grade raw footage using the knowledge we have been taught in previous sessions. Below, you can see images of the raw footage before (left) and after (right) colour correction.
Entry 10 (2/4/2024)
Over the last week, I have been making contact with Danny Stanton about how I will gather archival footage of the Hollow. He has recommended I contact other dirt jumpers that went to he Hollow. I am now waiting for any response form those other dirt jumpers.
Entry 11 (2/5/2024)
Over the last week, I have been recording B-roll at the Hollow to use in my profile film. I am also planning to write a script with placeholder dialogue as Danny still has not replied to me with the answers to the question I have asked him to answer for the profile film.
Entry 12 (3/6/2024)
Over the last week, I have received the answers from Danny in the form of audio clips. I have begun to produce the final product using the B-roll I have recorded and the audio Danny has given me.
Entry 13 (6/6/2024)
After completing the production and upload of the profile film, and writing the final evaluation, I now believe that I have completed the work for this module.
