Last class

Today we finished editing our final movies. To do this we had to cut up the sound and the video and put everything together in a logical order.

This is our final movie:

Second Last Class

Today we recorded the voices for the video. After recording a couple of takes of each in the sound room we put the sound into Soundtrack Pro and started editing it all together. We finished it by the end of class and now we are ready to edit the video clips and putting the sound with the video. By next class our assignment should be done.

The last two classes

In last weeks class we focused on doing any last minute changes to our apartments in preparation for filming and working out how we were going to film our stories. My group decided to remove unimportant parts of the script and change the storyline a little. Instead of the male getting kicked out for messing the house up it is for playing loud music instead.

This week we filmed all of our scenes. The first thing we had to do was set up the microphones so we could make our character look like they are talking. Then we went through and filmed from a series of angles so we have a lot to work with when we are editing.

Next week we have to record the voices and edit the clips together.

Second Life

Today our groups went over the scripts to make sure they were ready for us to start filming. We continued added objects to our apartments and set the room up ready for filming. We got a program called Capture Me, which records what is on our screen. We played with filming our character to see how everything worked and the quality of the videos. We now should be fully prepared to start filming.

END

Setting up our appartments

Today we finalized our scripts and started decorating our apartments. Donna, Ian and I are working together. We started off by creating a banner with our characters name on our apartment. Then we got to work setting up the rooms for our characters. It was a little hard trying to find the objects we wanted but it came out looking good.

Our second lesson on Second Life

Today we went back into Second Life and started learning how to make objects. We made a rotating earth with clouds to start off. Then we grabbed images off the net and created them in the game after uploading the images. I made a stereo system. These we can use these objects in our projects. Then we quickly looked at how to create guns in the game. To finish off the class we went into Comic Life and made a short comic based on our Second Life snapshots. Mine was about the mess we created in the game.
