Our group members are Fraser,Benna,Bradley, Rafe and J-dog This term were making advertising videos for the school. We go to Arrowtown [|school].



We are using the gold system here at goldminds this term this process includes the following stages

We started editing after 2 weeks holiday. We added some music in the movie and edited some more on the movie.
21.10.10 One of the teachers has a macbook so we are going to dump the windows and make the movie on the mac. So we are taking 1 step back to go 2 steps forward.

We have been watching ads and movie trailers and identifying the rule of thirds.

For example Charlie St.Cloud: media type="youtube" key="ze6M7EbB0R4?fs=1" height="340" width="463" .Notice the main thing in the scene is always a third in from the side. The rule of thirds is that....

third || third || Third || The screen os split into columns of three like the chart above. Each corner of the rectangle in the centre are the main focus points wheneve there is an ad the people or whatever character is on the ad their head should be on one of the corners or the thing that they are selling.
 * One third || One third || One
 * One third || One third || One
 * One third || One third || One

How to make your own thirds for a computer screen.

Step 1
Get a see through plastic sheet and rule up into three rectangles. On the centre rectangle on each corner draw a cross or a circle.

Step 2
Place the the plastic sheet on the screen of the laptop or computer.

Step 3
Got onto youtube or another video site and select a movie trailer or an ad.

Step 4
Put the video on full screen and watch.

Step 5
Look carefully at the video and when someone goes nto the screen you should see that the character most of the time their head should be in the area.

Step 2 ﻿organise the story board and scenes.

Story Board:

Scenes:

Step 3 ﻿Film all the scenes in any order as we can change it on windows movie maker.

List of places in school we have filmed ( or need to )
 * Classes
 * Library
 * Field
 * Playground
 * Office

After talking to Mr Harris we found these things tht werent perfect with our video.
 * The still photos were to slow
 * We were missing the tech and room 17 titles
 * The back ground of the video was uninviting
 * We hadent zoomed in told anyone what the kids were doing
 * That we had 2 archery photos insted of 1
 * That we didn't have anyone popping up and saying Arrowtown school ect ectThe film
 * We had a pic of one teacher but not the others
 * We had to much tech footage
 * Slow down footage in room 17 because it makes you dizzy
 * The intervews might have come out better ifthe people had been sitting down

We'll take this info on to improve our video.

Today was the first day of our project. We organised ourselves into groups then we started jotting down ideas for our video.
Step 1: To interview Mr.Harris and see what he wanted to see on the video. He said:
 * Lots of kids
 * No silly behavior on film.
 * Only a little bit of narration/ most talking when person is on screen.
 * A little humor

====Today we finished our storyboard and got to play with the flip cams we are using. We tryed zooming, moving fast and moving slow, sound wise/ how well you can hear someone when they are far away or close. After play we started to film our group started by filming room 4. We fimed the class working and the art on the walls. We also started to fim our opening scene we wanted to make it walk across the field but we found it quite hard as the camera kept bouncing up and down.
