SMART Objective

 Smart Objective F or all terms of this module (Media Project 1 and Digital Arts) before any project that we chose to create, we had in mind the SMART objective formula. For term 3 I plan to create a video talking about todays society and to raise awareness about the major problems of our community like the racism, cancel culture, corruption, war and the stressful life that the average human is going through on a daily basis. In order to achieve this firstly I will need to contact research on todays problems and iconic events of the past decade that have shaped todays society. This project is achievable and I can do it in the given time span. I plan to film a lot of the scenes my self with additional footage to add more depth. This idea has been in my mind for a lot of time and I have visualised how I want my final product to be. The footage will be filmed like by myself using my camera and a tripod. It will be an awareness video with some kind of narrative. The style of the video ...

Idea Development Using Piktochart

Image
The Platform  Using this iconographic platform I was able to create a chart that expands on my three amazing ideas in a way that is easier to the eye of the reader and more customisable to feet my personality. This website has given me the opportunity to experiment with different fonts, templates, shapes and more, in order to customise my chart to feet my continuation route and personality.  With this activity, I got more engaged with my ideas and I have invested more of my self into exploring them and making them a reality. The Chart With this chart I decided to go with a dark background in order to make the colours of the shapes that I added to be more distinct. I deleted everything from the template given and I added the title of my chart "Three Amazing Ideas" with an orange colour so that it would stand out from the rest of the text. I then added some text explaining the purpose of the exercise. I used lines to distinguish each idea from the previous one and to structure ...

Initial ideas for my Media Project 2 final project

Image
 Introduction An  important step for the development of a project is brainstorming ideas that can happen with the software and hardware available. For todays post I have thought of 3 ideas to build upon for my final project. IDEA 1 A small video were life is told by the eyes of a dog. His thoughts and ideas become the narrative of the story. We can showcase his thoughts when chasing a cat or going for a walk. The software that will be used for the video are Adobe's programs AfterEffects and PremierePro for the editing of the videos, as well as iMovie for cutting and editing the footage a little before importing it into PremierePro. After that Aftereffects will be used to add the effects. For images that may be used on the video I will be using Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. Any sound related data will be edited and recorded using the program audacity and the a Razer Kraken Pro headset. The video will be edited on a MacBook Pro and the footage will be recorded on a Leica v...

Icebreaker Exercise: Make a robot

 My Robot: I created a robot with the help of Adobe Photoshop to present my self: This robot character represents my self. The strong upper body holding the lightsaber with his arm on the sky like a hero, and the golden head of C3PO that also expresses my love for STAR WARS and good filmmaking. Heroic actions and characters are a big part of George Luca's space opera and since I was little I was seeing these superheroes as my role models. The background with the forest and nature shows my love for nature and outdoor activities like football and handball.  Star Wars was the first movie franchise I watched as a small kid and from then I fell in love with filmmaking. I loved watching other big movie franchises as well, like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. I was fascinated by the design of film universes and the detail and thought that goes into them. The way a good writer can tell a story and a director to bring into the full screen is fascinating. 

Welcome to Term 3

 Term 3 Welcome to Term 3! This term I aim to explore the concept of filmmaking further, while also building upon the skills I gained last term with the creation of my small animation video. Furthermore, I would like to improve on my writing skills by practising for the final essay through drafts and research that will help me as a student achieve a high mark. Last term I had the opportunity to engage with programs that I never used before, like Photoshop, PremierePro and CharacterAnimator and this inspired me to continue working after the end of the second term by uploading Images on my website.
