Recreated Stuck on a Escalator

Description:

We watched a video about two people on an escalator and they get stuck and don't use there initiative. We decide to create our own video of us not using our initiative. In my group there was Hunter' Jett and I. We created a video on Jett not using his initiative by not charging his IPad

Big Idea:

Criteria: (Content)

1. Video - 30 seconds long, time is limited.

2. Scenario - Show someone being stuck and not using the ability to act.

3. Clear Message - Short sharp clip. Can the watcher get the point of your video?

4. Unique - Coming up with something funny that gets a laugh from others.

5. Time Passing - Do you need to show time passing in your clip to emphasise your message.

Criteria: (Movie)

1. Light - Make sure the sun isn’t creating a hard to see clip.

2. Voice Volume - Needs to be louder than other background volume eg Noise, Kids.

3. Frame - What’s in the frame to make your message obvious

4. Steady Hands - Make sure the camera is still.

5. Individual Clips - Don’t do one continuous shot of 30 seconds. Make a range of short clips and join together.

Evaluation:

I reckon we did well in making sure our video was in the right angle so you could see Jett clearly. I think we could of worked on not cutting Jett's head on some of the frames.

Feedback/Feedforward:

You are very good at videos. You could work on not cutting Jett's head off. #Connor

My Childhood Memories

Purpose: To share memories from my childhood

Description: We read a story about someone's childhood memories. It was about summer. We decided to write our own using the same format.

That was my first time playing my friend at cricket.
