In this week’s tutorial each group presented their ideas for an artefact. Ideas included videos to websites and art installations. In keeping with this creative flow, Dyy and I presented the idea that we would like to collate our research into a step by step guide on making a digital narrative in a relatively short video. Some constructive feedback we received from the class was to be conscious of the timing of the video. We are thinking it will be around 10 minutes in length, but other videos we have seen in this style are most engaging when 3-7 minutes in length. Also, we see the opportunity for this film to be informational but also humourous which may work to engage an audience.
We plotted out parts to be scripted, based on our research and our collaborative mind map which assisted in visually mapping out common threads in areas we have researched and that may inform the chapters we divide the video into. When then divided who will script which parts with the intention of filming next week, having also booked the appropriate equipment with the AV dept. A timeline for calendar of important dates to develop artefact was also created
Our draft script outline is as follows:
Introduction – “How to make a successful online series?”
Video Montage both need to find links to videos to download/include
History/Background – over the last decade, Types of digital narrative, Japan
Purpose / Role – entertainment, communication, reporting
Production –
Challenges –
Briefly talk about a chosen series ?
What we need to do:
> collate research
> develop a script & rough running time of film
> book equipment
> record one another speaking (so each has a turn at using the camera/directing)
> upload footage (might need to book editing suite)
> arrange for Wk 11, present, get feed back from class.
