Our assignment is to make a video animation using different programs and techniques. The topic is of our choice and we are to be in groups of less than 4. In my case it was a group of 4; Emily Jones, Therese Jankovic, Franchesca Alberqurque and I.
It took a few weeks to get started on our assignment due to being stuck on picking a topic. At first our group decided on doing a muck-up news report about planking and the effect it has on students and schools. We thought it'll be great topic because it was a recent topic in society and making a funny video about it would amuse people. However, it came to mind by Mr Lennon that planking isn't such a good topic unless we are talking about going against planking. As a group, we weren't thinking about what kind of message we were sending about planking, whether it be being against or for it. In truth, we weren't planning on giving opinions of our own but asking others what they think about planking. It also came to mind that planking is not allowed at school and school being the only place the 4 of us see each other, we knew it wouldn't be possible.
Following the fail and rejection of the topic about planking came a few more days of decision and discussion until we finally decided on making a video on random dares. Although random dares don't really have a storyline we thought we could make it a internet show where doing dares was one of our episodes. The group decided it was good enough and we allocated a piece of work to each person. Emily was to make a Ghentt Chart, Franchesca was to make the Synopsis, Therese was to make theme song and I was allocated to make the storyboard.
Due to the loss of my USB...again and not having access to Microsoft Powerpoint at home i decided to use Microsoft Word to make the storyboard. The storyboard is 15 scenes and is pretty straight forward. I have finished the storyboard and sent it to my email so I can access it at school and be able to screen shot it and post it on my blog for the rest of my group to access. It will be posted up as soon as possible.
Two weeks ago, Franchesca, Emily and I began playing around with the video cameras. Therese was unfortunely sick. Her sickness also set us back in filming but no one is blaming her. We were lucky enough to have her back 3 weeks before the assignment was due.
On Wednesday 15th of June, Emily, Therese and I began filming the first dare. Franchesca was absent at this time due to being Office Monitor. The first dare was Emily's dare. It took awhile to get started on the dare due to Emily's refusal to do the dare. After a while she did the dare and it turned out great. The only problem was the sound. When we watched the video we couldn't hear Emily's voice and hardly anything else anyone else was saying unless we were close to them. Therese and I have discussed whether or not we should re-do the scene again but we first have to talk to Emily and Franchesca. Therese also suggested that we get all the other dares and bits of filming done first and if we have time to film any scenes that may have faults. On Friday 17th of June we wil be filming Franchesca's dare and one of the studio dares at lunch.
