Wk3 Project: Digital Storytelling Challenge

Wk 3 Digital Storytelling Challenge Video

The apps we used to collaborate were Google Drive and standard group chat through texts. We all have class together everyday so we spent most of our time speaking about what to do in person. But Google Drive came in handy because we were all on a strict schedule on our personal lives so it allowed us to access the video files needed when we were open to put them together and finish our projects away from each other. 

Individual Roles:
Gener Almestica - Director, Video Editor, Lead Actor
Alexis Aho - Director of Photography, Lead Writer
Ajay Bahtt - Audio Producer, Actor

Overall I think we did a pretty good job! We worked together well and came together pretty quickly to get the filming done. Once we figured out the brand and type of video we wanted to make, we leaned towards the comedic side of advertising pretty quickly. I wrote out a few different scenarios for the videos which we all agreed on a particular style and how we wanted the video to look, but once it came to actually filming, we were sort of at a loss! We did no previous storyboarding, so I shot the video with Gener and Ajay taking on the roles of actors, and we sort of figured it out as we went along. In the end I really like what we came up with and I think it's pretty hilarious! I will say the one thing we all sort of had trouble over was the audio. Ajay came up with two really great options but I felt as though they were missing something, and somewhat took away from the comedy of the shots. In the end we were able to find something all of us liked, and we overcame the obstacle to produce something we all felt pretty good about. In the end, I wish we had a clearer plan, and I had storyboarded and had more of a vision to contribute to the group. But, we had a fun time filming and I'm happy with what we made!

Wk4 Synthesis: Curating Through MCBS

Image
I believe it's been a mix of everything I've learned so far that helped me to create projects this month that were more "pro-looking" than they otherwise would have been.  From past projects in previous courses to the curation of assets within this class, I was able to put everything together to find things that worked better, and use new media tools to get me there. I definitely appreciate all the links provided to us through the MCBS Symbaloo web mix. It made finding what I wanted and needed so much easier knowing that they were higher quality than I would have used. But I will go on to say that I don't necessarily believe anything I created in this class are ones that I want to keep. They definitely still need more work, but they help to show where I'm starting so that in the future I can look back on them and see where I've gone. So in that regard, I'll retain them in my back pocket. Having gone through the course I've developed a much...

Wk 2 Analysis: Brands & The Human Connection/ Curating 3

Image
Dove Beauty Sketches “You’re More Beautiful Than You Think”, was a video produced by Dove that took the internet by storm back in 2013. It was a very successful ad campaign because it was beautifully shot, had really emotional music, but it also touched on a very prominent and important message about women within society.  This video was meant to touch women of all ages. Although the women in the video were adult females possibly between the ages of 25-45, the message can still clearly resonate with teens and young adults too. Today women are habitually chopped down to small versions of who they are by others, which makes them think less of themselves altogether. Through this video, women were able to get a chance at really seeing themselves through the eyes of strangers, and not the mainstream media or society at large. Multiple women were sat down, and asked questions about their features, where the man asking the questions would then sketch what he was hearing. Then s...
