Week 11 hits and all of a sudden the pressure mounts and the stress begins.  It doesn’t help that our photo shoot with Connor fell through on Thursday either.  But a good team is able to work around issues together and revert to Plan B, and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.  Kylie is putting her photography and editing skills to good use and attempt to Photoshop Connor into the background of pre-existing party photos, after Kevin instead took some shots of him in front of a green screen yesterday.  Kylie picked out which photos she would include Connor in, and sketched the positions and angles he should be in, with Kevin replicating her list in front of the screen.

(UPDATE:  Here’s the first few examples Kylie has produced.  I think they look fantastic, and likely have turned out better than our original plan to create a fake party with guests)

My news articles are taking shape, and I’ve decided to use a fake newspaper generator to display my articles with.  Although they look great, the generator does raise a few problems.  Once created, the article is downloaded and saved as an image file.  This means that the articles will not be able to include direct hyperlinks to our other online platforms, as originally planned.  To work around this, I will need to instead change my writing style and rather than link directly to other platforms, subtly ‘namedrop’ each elements into the two planned articles; one which takes place the day after the murders where few details are known, and a follow-up piece that will be released a few days later, confirming more details.  The other problem I face is a strict character count for the generator, so my articles will need to be clear and concise, yet still provide all necessary details.

Progress is still on track, but we need to keep pushing through to have all the content uploaded in ‘real time’ as planned, to match with our event which takes place in the coming days, so next week will be pretty intense.
