Hello team.
Our mid-term critique has given our team quite the wake-up call and I am hoping that it will help to kick start us into overdrive these next few weeks. Here are some things from the notes that I took during our critique that we need to pay extra attention to.
1. From now on we need to do some sketches of how we want our cameras to be set up at all of our photo shoots.
2. We need to have all footage shot by the end of the first week of April.
3. No more shooting without the use of tri-pods. We can't afford to have to re-shoot.
4. We need to truley divide and conquer. There will be an updated schedule on the blog/server by the end of break with individual assignments.
5. Finally, we really need to come together as a team and work like one. This is all of our responsibilitiy and I know that we can do it and prove anyone who thinks we can't, wrong.
Nathan has already posted the things he will be working on over break. Let's all comment on here and write if you can do anything over break, or what you will be doing before the next class. Have a good break.

Process and Notes from Hanson
Process for Completion and Notes From Hanson
1. Order your sequences
-SCRIPTING (1-2 people orders each section)
-what pieces are similar?
-create a "bin" with extra comments included
-make it cohesive
2. Re-arrange the sequences based on the whole content
-keep the big picture in mind
-learn to let go of unnecessary details and walk away with the most important factors
3. Listen to it with closed eyes
-make final touches to the overall piece and polish
-critique for further review and show it to Hanson

Content = Skeleton and MAIN POINT Key Notes: -Tighter is better (balance length with the amount of information being said, don't worry about length) -don't feel trapped, go get the footage if you need it! -work on ordering sequences while still gathering footage to save time -discuss the state of editing by specific dates and DEADLINES (they are included in the calendars)
-Communicate and work together as a team, one person shouldn't be doing all the work and one person shouldn't be doing nothing as well
Sadly most of what I mentioned that I could do with what we have would require a connection to the school server, so most will be work when I get back, but the transcription I can do, and I already bought the tape before heading home, so I have said tape in the apartment. If there's more I can do I just need to be told about it.
ReplyDeletesounds great! I will be here in BG for a little while. The footage for from the last interview and also museum is pretty good and we can adjust camera angles so our interview footage is not invalid. We just need to color correct and do some editing tricks with B-roll and his great informative speech. If you guys need tips on how to connect to the homework server from any computer I can let you know. its just FTP-ing the right address to get in. I dont have final-cut pro, but I do have AfterEffects on my Mac so if you guys can think of some experimental editing that we could do over break then I can do my best to put some things together. Let me know and have a safe and fun rejuvenating break!
ReplyDeleteHey everyone. Camera 2 is my fault. I shoulda adjusted it. But it is what it is. And yes critique was brutal but i think it was what ALL the groups needed to hear. Bottom line is we have great oppritunity to put this on our resume. We do have alot of work to do but if we truly divide and conquer we will get this project done the right way. After spring break, things are gonna move quick. School will be over before we know it so it is essential we all get together and do what is needed. Over break i will story board the outline and when we get back we can critique it to fit what everyone thinks. i hope everyone's break goes well and enjoy it.
