Week 8 tutorial

This week was our first class with our whole group present, so we started to do some brainstorming of ideas. Our media idea that we received was “technologies”, and we needed to start thinking about what we could do for our final media artifact, which we all agreed on doing video. We were having some mixed ideas of what we wanted to get out of this. I was thinking of doing a similar thing to what we were to do in project brief 3, and use both a mixture of our own footage and found footage, but Jack was thinking more of making something really big and with our own footage, something he could use in his “film reel” thing at the end of the course. Helen was pretty neutral to ideas at this point. After some research we did in class, we found a video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPzgl2C7cZY. We obviously ignored the music used because it was unrelated to what we wanted to do, but we all seemed to like the idea of having this sort of layout for our final product, filming in one take and having this sort of screen dominated set, as our media idea is technologies, this would relate our content with the projects intention. With this in mind, we all started to figure out what we would each concentrate for our annotated bibliographies. Helen was going to focus on virtual reality and social media, Jack was focusing on film production and editing techniques and I was going to be focusing on desensitisation caused by technology, and violence in video games and television. Because all of our topics weren’t really connected we were struggling to figure out how we could all connect them in script, but I think we will leave that for next week.
