Creative Media Term 3 - Lesson 5

In today's lesson I really didn't do much...Mr Powell showed me how to take pictures in Istop motion and then export them to Photoshop. I'm not sure but I think I might use Photoshop to edit some of my pictures for my project. So...since I had nothing else to do for the rest of the lesson, I quickly made something in Photoshop (picture on the side).

I thought it was okay, not my best work but it's okay.

Storyboard - Transformers

Scene One: Bumble Bee drives in (car form)

Scene Two: Transforms into his robot form

Scene Three: Does a pose in his robort form

Creative Media Term 3 - Lesson 4

IMPORTANT NOTE: WHENEVER WE ARE IN R8, WE WILL BE IN THE LIBRARY!

In today's lesson, I made a storyboard and a character profile for my PRACTICE VIDEO. I also worked on my character profiles for my ACTUAL VIDEO. I really wanted to watch some videos made by PES but since we can't access Youtube, I wasn't able too. Next lesson our character profiles as well as our storyboard (ACTUAL VIDEO) are due.

PRACTICE VIDEO - TRANSFORMERS VIDEO
ACTUAL VIDEO - EIFFEL TOWER
PES - A PERSON ON YOUTUBE

Creative Media Term 3 - Lesson 3

In today's lesson, Mr Powell showed us a few more videos that contain claymotion. A few of them were pretty good but I didn't really like the claymotion about 'the pancakes'. While we watched the videos, I did started thinking about my character profiles. I need to do four character profiles.

Character Profiles Needed:
-Mayor
-Hippie-like person
-Person One
-Person Two

Storyboard - Main Project

START

Scene One: The Mayor walks in (left side)
Scene Two: The Mayor talks - explains that they need more tourist. He then comes up with an
idea. He decides to build a new exciting building.
Scene Three: (Shows the building being made)
Scene Four: The Mayor is really happy with his work and the hippie-like person comes in (right
side)
Scene Five: The hippie-like person says 'Dude! It's the Eiffel Tower!'
The Mayor says 'The what tower?'
The hippie-like person says 'The Eiffel Tower! You know...in Paris?'
(few seconds silence)
The Mayor says 'Doh!'
Scene Six: (The camera moves to two people)
Person one says 'And his running the country!'
Person two says 'We are so screwed...'

Creative Media Term 3 - Lesson 2

In today's lesson Mr Powell showed us a very detailed character profile. He discussed to us about how to develop our character and why having a character profile is important. We then watched a video called 'Crazy Pointing Guy' and 'How to Make Mamshmam's Claymen'. After we watched the video, Mr Powell told us that places like Youtube and the Internet would be a great place for ideas. After Mr Powell said that we watched a couple of videos made by a person called Mamshmam. Some videos were 'Breakdance Claymation' and 'Green vs Red'. I really liked the way they used the clay to make figures. I also like the story line of each little skit. Watching these videos haves definatly given me some ideas. For the last twenty minutes of the lesson I worked on my storyboard as well as my character profile.

Creative Media Term 3 - Lesson 1

This is our first Creative Media lesson for Term 3! In today's lesson Mr Powell discussed about our projects. He said that we wouldn't be able to start our project unless we had a storyboard and a character profile for each character. The deadline for the storyboard and the character profile is in 2 weeks. He also told us that we had to allow 2 weeks for sound too. This means that we have 5 weeks to film our project (15 hours). So in other words, we have 15 hours to create a 1 - 2 minute film. Mr Powell said we could do a spin-off of a fairy tale, a short story, an advert or basically ANYTHING! This got me thinking a lot. A few ideas came to my head but I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

The most important thing for my set is that it has to have continuity (meaning the background had to be the same). Another important thing is the lighting. It is very important that the light remains about the same but the most important thing is SAVING! Mr Powell said he wanted us to have saved our project in at least three different places (USB, Home computer and School Desktop).

Into today's lesson, I mainly worked on my storyboard. I decided that I was going to do a practice video before my main project. My practice video is going to have Bumble Bee (from the movie Transformers) transform from his car version, to his robot version.

What Do I Need For My Practice Video?
-Transformer Toy
-Black/Blue Backdrop
-Camera/istop motion
