Brainstorming on the idea Day 2

Today, Mr Ronald wanted each group leaders to present their ideas to him, Hanis told him we want to do the video in a MTV style also told him about others details of our idea. He gave us suggestions like we need to decide what kind of loop music we want to use, what is the message we want to let the audience knows and more....

After that, my group and i (except Laurie) sat in a circle and start to brainstorm on our idea. We decided to film the video a bit documentary with the interviews and film what MOI students were like behind the scene. So we thought of getting four MOI students to be the interviewers. For now, we only have Dempster and Yi Jie. The other two need to go find.

This is how our video goes (not finalize)

Introduction
  • Show some random shots of people what they do
  • show images of our MOI works
  • Have voice over in the background together with the images
  • The voices are like i want to be what what what (eg. i want to be a film maker)
  • For the transition to the content, we will film the 4 interviewers in voice over form with them introducing themselves
  • we will take video of them observing things around them while their surroundings move in fast/slow speed
Content
  • We will interview the four MOI students
  • Two of them from animation, the other two from video
  • For animation part, we will film the students doing works like using flash to do 2D animation
  • For the video part, we will film the scenes of the students' video production
  • Film what MOI students do in design school
  • Film what MOI students do in their free time
  • We will do the interviews in turns like video student first, then animation student
  • Show interactions between animation students and video students
  • We will overlap some interview shots with other shots
Ending

The ending part we thought of a few ideas, but we don't think it works. So we decided to keep it at the back, focus on the preparation for the interview part first.
That is all for our discussion...

Oh ya, hope Laurie will get well soon!

Discussion of idea at JupiterCafe Day 1

Today, Alan explained to all the students of MOI what MOI Project 1 was all about and what we had to do for it. He also told us that we need to form in group of 4 to 5. After that, my classmates and i went to class and wait for Mr Ronald to start lesson. We listened to him talking about creating the blog and other stuffs. Everyone told him which group they were in and who was there group leader. For my group, the group members were Sholleh, Betty, Hanis, Laurie and me. The group leader was Hanis.

When the class ends, we all went to Jupiter Cafe to have lunch and started thinking how we want to do the video. We decided to do in a MTV style. Sholleh thought of adding a tagline inside the video and we thought of a few. But we don't think it was nice and at last we thought of one which i thought was good. Same goal, different lifestyles.

We thought of showing in the video that even though we have different backgrounds, hobbies and interests. But our goal is the same in the end. We also thought of adding some animation effects inside the video like let the character move about and more....

All this are just the basic idea we have, there may be changes....
