Everything’s coming to a close!
The light at the end of the tunnel (you know, the metaphor that I’ve used a few too many times now) has finally come into arm’s reach. It wasn’t easy; it actually required a lot of work. But we’re almost done.
As previously stated, I sent all of the sound clips off to Ben, so all that he needs to do now is input them all into the opening. After that and any minor tweaks to the sound that may need to be made, we’ll have our final cut! Our group project will finally be complete!
But that’s not the “final stretch” I’m talking about. My final stretch towards completing the group part of the project was finishing the sound. As of now, I am officially done with our group video project
Now, I move onto the Creative Critical Reflection, better known as the CCR. This is the last part of our project, meant to help us “reflect upon [our] work, using digital formats such as director commentaries, slideshows with voiceover, podcasts, Prezis or screencasts” according to my teacher. This is the last big part of our project, holding nearly as much importance as our title sequence.
In this CCR, we need to answer 4 questions:
- How do your products use or challenge conventions and how do they represent social groups or issues?
- How do your products engage with the audience and how would they be distributed as real media products?
- How did your production skills develop throughout this project?
- How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?
To answer these questions, I’m planning to do a sort of “director’s commentary” which will require me to mess with some video editing software that I have only scarcely dealt with previously. This will require a bit more research and a lot more ranting in my blog posts.
Anyway, this process will start shortly, so expect some troubles ahead.
