One word project

For the one word film project you got to choose one partner to do this with and you had to start by choosing a random word from a bucket which you then had to make a story about based on your word, making a 15 slide story board with the shots and angles explaining what each scene would be and then you got to film all of it in a 60-90 second film with no sound and would edit it all together for your final outcome.

During brain storming we were just thinking about ideas and every time we would get a good one we would write it down and once we had a few we chose the best option that we came up with. The storyboard really helped so we could see what we were doing and not just have to be like what are we gonna do for the next scene or how should we do this, which overall saved us a lot of time that would have been spent thinking thanks to the storyboard.

I think our story for the word was good but the bad thing was we did to much and over recorded more than we needed to and a lot of it was very unnecessary, and we could have definitely improved the way we did our editing most of it was rushed so it didn't turn out the greatest but not that bad. Lastly our shots and angles i feel could have been better if we thought about it more we didn't put enough thought into it and just went with what we though looked right but overall i think the project turned out good for what we had.

My first media quiz experience

In this activity all you had to do was come up with a visual story with one or two objects about what ever you want but had to be within the schools rules and you only had 15 pictures that you had to take with different shots and angles but some of them were required. You had to take all the pictures on your phone horizontally and make a chart with what shot and angle it is and saying what is happening, then lastly you just had to submit it but also add a one to two line reason explaining why you choose that shot for all 15 pictures.

I approached by first just brainstorming ideas with my partner till we got the best we could which was two brothers walking then being attacked by an alien that came from a ship in the air which the alien the abducted a brother and the other brother went back and killed the alien and was able to get his brother back from the ship. And then we went through and wrote each scene with the shot and angle on the paper so we could remember for when it came time to take the pictures. Then we took each picture half of them were in class the others had to be done at home because of time so we did that then we put all the pictures in a power point and wrote a 1-2 line sentences describing why we used each shot.
I feel i could have taken better pictures by editing the color of them and the sentences talking about why we used each shot was made bad and rushed so they didn't come out the best other than that i think we did a good job on the overall quiz activity.
