Post-class discussions
We decided to spice up our previous sketch with better quality photographs and also nicely printed text for our travel video review. We chose to visit Koko Black along Collins Street.
I like how the entire place had a very brown, rustic theme, and as we were taking photographs of the place, we decided that we would properly edit them before having them printed out so that they would look much nicer and clearer. We failed to do that in our previous sketch, which is probably why they turned out so dark and dull. We also took a couple of video footages for a slightly different sketch that we wanted to try out.
After that, we discussed about what we would achieve over the week, and some other sketches that we would be working on. We went to Officeworks later to get Blu-Tac and some manila card. We were thinking of doing this new sketch we were planning on a wall instead of on the wooden floor of Jia Jia’s apartment.
This is because we previously shot our sketch with my iPhone 6, and the overall quality of the video was reduced because we had to zoom in to get a better view. So this time, we want to start using a DSLR to improve the video’s overall quality, and for that to happen, it would be much easier to have it on a tripod and have the whole thing done on a wall, instead of having the DSLR – which is much bigger and heavier – face the floor.
We plan to film it later this week, so hopefully that turns out alright.
