Video Update
This week we - Renae, Christina and I - collaborated with what we had so far. I found some links that I believed to be copyright free, though I was still trying to find way to search whilst excluding copyrighted images/videos, because it was unclear to me still. Found out during this class that our tutor Lauren was also finding the best way to search for video in Creative Commons. We'll have to get back to that later. Our plan was to shoot some footage during that class and after, but we had a turn in the narrative, changing some key plot elements. We were no longer to make a cheesy horror move trailer, but more of a thriller type trailer about a university student who is about to finish her Journalism Degree and wants a topic she can sink her teeth into, something controversial. E-waste is a massive issue, in where Western nations are exporting and dumping their electronic waste in third world countries such as India and parts of Africa. This was to be the issue our protagonist was to grapple.
We thought some snippets of her video blog entries would be a good way to start the trailer, with images of articles on e-waste on the first shot. To avoid copyright we are going to make these ourselves, making the titles the largest and using a gibberish mix in tiny text so as to seem like a full article. At the moment I am typing up scripts for Renae (playing our character) to read for the blogs, which we will film on Christina's internal iMac camera in an iMovie tool. The plan is to have two blogs, two weeks apart. The second one is when Jen gets an anonymous email saying to meet 'them' in a computer lab in Griffith to discuss the suspicious disappearance of an environmental activist.
Cut to scary snippets of action. Electronic doors slamming by themselves and an article about the missing activist is used as a 'warning' to Jen. Hopefully we can get most of this done in class next week so we can begin editing, because that's where we need a lot of time!
