Evaluation

The Eiffel Tower…that is the title of my awesome movie! Since I only used i-stop motion, I did not really use any tools. By doing this project, I how gotten a better understanding of how to use i-stop motion as well as the apple laptops. However, before I could finish my movie, I had a huge problem! My main problem was i-stop motion. When I was creating the Eiffel Tower, I had to keep adjust the camera to be able to get a good shot. After I finally bulit the Eiffel Tower, it occurred to me that I could have asked Mr Powell if he had any ideas on how to solve this problem…oh well.



I am so happy with the way my movie turned out! I had put lots of time into this project trying to get it done and I was so proud of myself when I had finished it.However, my movie is not perfect. The one thing I would like to change would be to have the camera in the one spot so the pictures do not jump around. If I could start this again, the only thing I would do differently would be to plan my movie out a bit more. Instead of thinking of ways to solve the problem (taking pictures of the Eiffel Tower), I just went with the flow and did not really do anything about it. For that I am vey disappointed in myself. Overall, I believe that my movie was a huge success for me!

Below is my movie!!!

Character Profiles!

NOTE: SINCE THERE IS NO MAIN CHARACTER IN MY STORY, I DECIDED TO DO A QUICK SUMMARY OF EACH CHARACTER!

Mayor: The Mayor is a kind man but he's not the sharpest tool in the shed. He does crazy things without thinking things out and his methods of running the city are often questioned. He has a good heart and does everything he thinks is right for his city. Overall, the mayor is a sweet guy but he's also a bit crazy.

Tom: Tom is a very smart man who is Head of the Local Police Force. He is married and has two kids called Larney (a girl aged 9) and Rama (a boy aged 10). Tom is a calm person who does not get angry easily. Overall, Tom is a cool, calm, smart man and is not easily angered.

Jim: Jim is a very active and loud person. He likes to play sports and he has won the Iron Man tournment. He is a fit person and he is a police officer at the local station. He is married, has 4 children and he is a grandfather of 2. He is a very busy person but he always makes time for his family. Overall, Jim is your typical family man (puts his family's well being above his own).

Sebastian: Sebastian is a shy, smart and a quiet person. He was the dux of his school and he also works for the local police force. He tends to be quiet around people he does not know but once he starts to open up, he is a very lively man who enjoys a good laugh. Overall, Sebastian is a shy person unless you know him really well.

Creative Media Lesson 15 & Lesson 16

Lesson 15: It's the last lesson before our movies are due! I'm very happy since I have already completed my movie and my blog is up to date. Thanks to this, I'm not very stressed this term unlike last term how I was freaking out the day before my video was due. Anyway, I really didn't do much this lesson since I've completed everything...

Lesson 16: In today's lesson we handed in our videos. My video was a mov. film but it was 2GB! It was way to big to put on blackboard! So I spent 20 minutes freaking out trying to compress my video into a smaller size. Lucky, it worked and I was able to hand my video in. Note to self: next time have the video compressed before the lesson! Oh, in the last of my reflections, I have had pictures of eyes. There is a purpose for this. I find eyes really interesting. They can be draw in many different ways and they are the doors to a person's soul...anyway, I'm very happy with my video and I hope to get a good mark for it!

Creative Media Reflections

Lesson 10: In today's lesson I started filming the other part of my movie (the scenes with the lego men). I did most of it in today's lesson so this means all I need to do next lesson is finish my project off. The scenes I did managed to do, was scene one and scene three. I thought it turned out really well and I look forward to being able to finish it next lesson.

Lesson 11: In today's lesson I decided it would be best to work on my blog. I decided to catch up on my reflections and finish editing my video. I am very happy with the turn out of my video and I believe the sound I put with the video is awesome as well.

The video below is a section of my video.



Title: Eiffel Tower
Music: You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) by Dead or Alive

Lesson 12: In today’s lesson, I made a really quick video. This video was shot in Reeves Courtyard using my books and ipod. It was really rushed so it might not flow correctly in some areas.




Title: Before Class
Music: None


Lesson 13: Since I have completely finished my video, in today’s lesson I decided to update my blog. I wrote some reflections and with the left over time that I had, I quickly made something in photoshop. The class only has two lessons left before our videos are due and I am very happy with myself since I have finished all my work. All I now need to do for each lesson is to write a reflection and that’s it, so I’m not stressed at all.


Lesson 14: Where oh where is Mr Powell? Oh wait there he is! In today’s lesson all I did was write my reflection and looked at other girls with their project. Personality I think Elna’s project is really awesome but it requires a lot of time. I also think that Brittany’s is good as well. I like Brittany’s because her idea is really simple but good at the same time. This is the second last lesson before our project is due and some girls still have a lot of work to do. I’m really glad that I’m not one of these girls because I think I would die of stress!
