December 8th 2018 Meaghan’s Media Art ISP proposal (grade 8 open house video) :
As we head into the last little bit of next semester, we were given our culminating projects. Alex and I decided to take part in recreating the grade 8 open house video that will be played in front of the audience to give them the right idea that parkside is the right school to attend in the fall. In order to create our video we will need supply's such as, our school cameras, computer access (preferably a mac book), movie maker that’s on the lap top, paper, scissors, colouring pencils in order to create the lettering,Photoshop for stop motion, we will need year book photos and pictures of our own that we take throughout the school as activities are going on, we will need to choose a song etc for our video. This project is personal to me because my brother is going into grade 8 next year and he is most likely coming to parkside, I remembered how nervous and afraid I was until open house night. First impressions are a big thing, and if they see this video and realize high school isn’t so bad as they may think. Fun videos and videos full of laughter are extremely eye catching towards parents and kids. Also I really enjoy taking pictures and doing something that is beneficial to others. As we began this course we learned many things such as learning how to use Photoshop which will be something we use to contribute to our video, taking good quality photographs which will be in the slide show, using stop motion to make the video different and eye catching to keep the audience interested for the lettering of out categories, using fun music to engage the viewers, editing is also a key aspect in this project to have a great final project. We got out inspiration from Ms Cameron has she wanted a new video for this year because that one was from a few years ago, and Alex and I thought it would be fun to put one together to present to not only our teacher but many parents and kids to represent our school. Our video will be unique and creative based on the photos we will be taking at school events and also the letting we do by hand to use for our sub tittles. We will be changing the song so it’s more up to date as well. Not all the photographs will be ares as there are many great ones already in the video we would like to use although we will contribute newer ones.I’m looking forward for the final project, and excited for it to be shared at the grade 8 open house.
Picture vs Camera proposal
My culminating project consists of 2 things which was creating the slide show for grade 8 open house night with Alex, and completing a few of my own picture vs camera ideas to add to my ISP. Materials I will need are a camera, access to Photoshop, some photographs I have taken and paper and a pencil to draw and overlap my photo. This project is personal to me because I really like to draw helps me express how I feel through emotions someday's. Also I found this task throughout the year more exciting then some of the others. I will be using photo shop which is the technical aspect we learned this year in our media arts class to create layers on top of each other. My inspiration comes from the fact that I like to draw and be creative . Recently I did one of these from a picture I took at the fair and I was really happy it turned out the way it did. I'm excited to start the other half of my ISP. I did 2 picture vs camera due to our other isp and because that was all that was required.
