Progress on Media Project


So far during this week gold team has made good progress towards completing our project. We have meet a few times out of class at the library and gotten a good amount of work done.  The group went to the library and checked out a flip cam. Part of the group filmed students on the bridge, started creating the video. I created a title screen, with the name of this project and our group names. This entailed first arranging the intro to our video, which is a statement on how the media and the world’s culture have changed since the 1950’s. Next I arranged the photo essay which starts off our video. The photo essay is composed of pictures of modern day celebrities who are engaged in the types of relationships we will be talking about in the video. I added titles to each section of the essay and did my best to creatively display all the photos. As I was in the middle of this the part of our group that had been filming returned. I finished up the photo essay and then uploaded their videos to my computer. Next I imported the video clips into the movie.  Then our group meeting was basically over. At the next meeting we had we planned the rest of the week and worked on the video, created a survey to collect data, along with working on the accompanying paper. Both of these meeting were very productive and put us in a good position to complete this project well.  My group had another meeting, which I missed where they worked on the paper amongst other things. The next day, another group member sent out an email out with more video interviews she had done. I then added the videos to our group’s video.  During class today we planned our next meeting and I continued to edit the video.  The plan is for each of us to write our quarter of the paper and me to work more on editing the video by Sunday.
