PB4 Meeting
Today my group have met up to work on our rough cut for our Video Essay. After getting feedback from Brian for our Audio Essay, we now know what we need to do to improve the Audio Essay and will do so after we have the basis of our Video. What we have done in the past week is researched different perspectives of gender in Superhero narratives such as the male gaze and the changing representation of women e.g. wonder women. I thought that this was a good idea because they are more visual ideas, so in our video we can do less description through our voice overs and focus more on giving a clear image for the audience to see and understand what we are talking about when it comes to gender and specifically women in Superhero narratives.
What we have decided to do for our Video Essay is just have one person speaking because then this gets less confusing and has the same light hearted but informative tone throughout the video. I think this works well and differentiates from our Audio Essay which is more communicative between all of us where we are each speaking it a more conversational type. Although there is some over lap of information between our audio and video essay, I think we are covering different perspectives quite well so far where now we just need to piece it together with clips and sound effects to make it more flowing.
