Behind the Scenes
Are you working by yourself or in a team?
I'll be working in the same team I normally work in, me and Addella. This is because I believe that despite the many differences we have, we usually make good projects and make an overall good team.
What materials will you need for your project?
We will need the green screen, microphones, and Ipad for this project in terms of materials.
What is your plan to create in this project?
We plan to make a talk show, in which we talk about our opinions. We plan to make the topic something different each day of doing it, and then adding special effects to the show, customizing the green screen background daily, etc.
What unique qualities will your project have?
Our project will be a safe enviornemnt, so no harsh opinions about politics, people, etc. Out project will have a different theme and argument everyday and unlike other talk shows, ours will be completely unscripted and only have one take per session to keep the authentic-ness of the show.
We technically started this porject on Wednesday. Today we planned out the project and explained it till agreemnet, then I added all the starter questions to my website- just to be prepared. Then I filled out this day one slot and added the picure. The rest of my day was spent further explaining and helping Addella with any missing work, since she has a large amount due to her absence.
Still waiting on Adella to be back, I really hope she is soon because I need her here just to start the project. If she's not, i really don't know what I'm gonna do because there's there's really not enough time to start a new project. Anyways, I worked on the sentence starter early today, as much as I could. ( I took a picture of them after they were done)
Because of Addella's absence, I instead worked on and finished my website, mostly at least. All the important, long things we're taken care of just in case of emergency or Addella's high absence continues. (work finished shown in pictures).
Today we got to draft more ideas and film more videos. We did horror themed ones as it's what we believed fit the vibe. We did indeed consider adding these to the talk show, but by the time we we're done we didn't have enough time to do so.
Today we deicded to discard the drafts and make a new video, as horror themes may be too mature of a topic for some. To fit the theme once again, we made a christmas themed one, talking about our traditions during the Chirtsmas time and how we kept out Chirstmas spirit. After this, we edited the video and worked on finishing the websites, we had many technical difficulties during this process, specifically with the green screen as it wouldn't cooperate, cutting the video short and not extending.
Today was finally the last day, now the project is about a day or so late, and we've finally fixed the technical difficulty with IMovie and are uploading onto the websites. I'm slightly sad that I won't be able to do this again, but that doesn't mean I won't be able to next year or some other time in the future. I'm quite happy with how it turned out, although I fish we had more time to work on it as that would've most definitely gave such a higher quality as the last and final green screen project for the year.
Using the Ipad and green screen, as well as it's equipment, I created a mini two episode talk show series with Addella because I thoroughly enjoyed the last green screen project, in fact you could probably say it was my favorite project I've done so far. So, I wanted to do something similar to it so I could do it better and feel the joy of doing it with Addella once again. Not only that, but me and Addella talk and disagree about so many opinions and topics, it would be hilarious to make a talk show about it, which I realized when I labeled this it's name and got introduced to the new 8PX.
During this process, I learned how to get through technical difficulties, and how to spend your time keeping things productive even when there's not much you can do. This is an important skill to know because it's useful in the real world and in working, for example, there will be days we're your partner isn't there and you have to work on everything yourself. This may happen a lot to you, depending on your job and what person your partner is. Either way, it's important to do your best in keeping things productive even when it seems hard, in all circumstances.
The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Creative Communicator because hen simply creating a new green screen movie, it's absolutely crucial to think creatively, and use your imagination to make a good final project that isn't too basic or boring in the end. Many people have to use their imagination when making movies, if they didn't they'd all be the same, which would be albeit, terrible.
A challenge I overcame on this project was timing and scheduling. Mostly because Addella wasn't there more than half the time. This as well as your average technical difficulties. I was able to do it by using some extended time, it would be late but at least it would be turned in at the end. Also, we had a lot of trouble with the green screen, as it would cut the video out. We had to try a couple times to fix that one as well as ask another classmate. But other than that, the project didn't face all too many difficulties, and it was smooth sailing, much like the last time we did this. I think that's why I like this as a project so much, because it's pretty simple, fun, and albeit enjoyable. It's mostly definitely my favorite project by far, and honestly if I could I'd do it every time.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change Addella's absences. The reason why I would change it is because this would've been done so much faster if she was here for at least three days, but she ended up skipping almost everyday of the week expect for Wednesday. This was defiantly an issue and posed a great threat to me and my grade, and of course, I can't do the project without her- I need her there to film the talk show. Sadly, I didn't have much time to do what we needed, so the project wasn't exactly how I liked it, and it totally could've been better in the end.
Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program offers Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, Marketing. My project connects to the Digital Multi-Media CTE program at Hastings High School.
My project connects to careers in Motion Design, Camera Operation, and Video Editor because just like motion design, I'm creating graphics and other elements for the background, as well as Video editor because I'm doing just that in Apple Movie, editing the video with sound and adding transitions as well.
