Finished filming!

Mar 24th

We finished filming in record time this year, which I am very excited about! I am looking forward to the students having more time dedicated to editing.

We do have some technical issues to overcome with the importing the footage in such a way that we can edit in Windows Movie Maker, but we hope to overcome those this week.

Filming went well, and it was pretty funny during our fight scene to try to figure out the whole fake blood issue. Two actors were fighting, and we were trying to see if we could make the blood fly onto the wall for an effect, but had a heck of a time figuring out what the natural trajectory of blood would be. It made for some pretty funny conversations.

Back from Christmas break, and heading into filming

Jan 30th

Posted by Jenny

We have been working on our scripting since we returned from Christmas break, and have a final edit of it now. We spent this last Monday on site, where we want to shoot, and took some photos for storyboarding.

This next Monday we will start shooting, if all lines up, and I am looking forward to it. I like our story this year; it is based on a parable again, but the adaptation is shorter and I think it will be a little easier to edit. Also, one of my students can edit at his home, so I will have only two editing at the co-op itself. This should save some time, and be easier on the technical side of the project, than it was last year.

First editing project of this year

Oct 12th

Posted by Jenny

Last week, with the help of the computers that were so generously donated, the students were able to do their first editing project in class! I was very excited for this, as last year we did not have this capability.

I had them take a song (we had several to choose from), and the choose photos, and make a simple slide show. It is a fairly easy project, but important in the long run for the students to learn about editing. We had fun, and they did very well on the projects.

We are also in the middle of story development, and I am glad to see the students getting involved in really thinking about what would be a story with a good lesson. I am looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

New students!

Aug 1st

I received my new list of students for the year, and I have three. I think this is a good number to work with (although more would be fine also), and am looking forward to the class starting.

Also, we had someone donate computers, so the students will be able to work in class on editing projects. Hopefully, this will diminish the complications we had last year with students working at home and struggling through technical issues. We will have the chance to work on more, short editing projects. If I learned anything from making all the commercials for the co-op last year, it was that practicing in editing is very, very necessary to learn about it.

Onto planning!
