Blog 16: Project 3_Day 1

Day 1: 

This is our first day for the next assignment Project_3. We agreed on the roles for the next assignment 3. My role is as Video Director. The other roles are as Director, Sound Director and Production Manager. We read the brief and made our plans. We discussed video content and researched similar promotional videos on-line. I took out the video equipment and familiarized myself with its functions. There was 16 minutes left in the battery so I made the best use of this and took some video shoots of the college corridor otherwise known in LIT as “The Street.” While filming, I noticed different types and styles of college users, be they students from home and abroad, lecturers, visitors. It is important that this video incorporates the excellent attitude and facility’s the college has for disability. With these objectives in mind I am incorporating these angles in the video shoot. After this I set the camera to recharge in our Mac Lab and we continued to research promotional videos and all about LIT. We discussed visiting some of the campuses like Clare Street Art and Design and the Ennis branch of LIT. For those more distant areas such as Thurles we researched photograph stills to add to the shoot. I’ve watched the video on Moodle about incorporating stills into the video shoot. Also, today I spoke with a Science Lecturer who gave permission for me to film in a Science Lab, where I will film on Friday. We have made a list of all the areas we should cover in reflecting the College in a promotional video and have set out plans for the next Digital Video Class next Wednesday.
