Teaser video showcase

Today (25 May 2011)

We are meeting the client today to present our teaser which we have work on for the past 3 weeks.
We are now in the vista lab to do editing of the video. Due to the time constraints, 4 of us have stay up late to complete the video.

We have go through many changes in storyboard, visuals and audio. Although the changes do make us angry sometime, this is the process of learning and also make us stronger. Our advisor (David) have also share with us a lot of ideas and also what are the places can be improve.

All of us are nervous in today meeting as we want to show them we can do something different. We are still editing and hope it turn out right as we do not have very much experience in doing video for external and facing clients.

Wish us luck. :)


18 May 2011 ( Final Idea)

We are meeting the client for the second time. We do have a bit of ideas what to expect from the client but it still have a strong impact on us. During the meeting, we have learn different thing from the last meeting. Our advisors have advise us to look at a different view for the teaser. As students, PBL learning have been in our back of our mind and hence we cannot us the basic knowledge we have to treat the teaser. We have to change of point of view to allow the target audience to get interested.

This time round, we get even more information for the client on what they are expecting and also what are the key point they will like to highlight. After our presentation, advisors sound out what they dislike and like about the mock up teaser. We discuss and finalize what should be include and what should improve.

Concept
- using the 5 W to show case and tell the audience the message.
-What (past symposium)
- Who (target audience)
-Why (key message on symposium
-Where (Republic and logo)
-When (Date)

Video
-fast pace
-allow information to go show straight to the audience

After meeting with client,

We stay back to discuss the concept on full video and proof with our advisor (David)
We have plan to keep our first idea on the teaser to the full video. Doing split screen and create a visual that the director is walking through the frame. We plan to do a 3 min video and planning to finish it before July.
We will also do some editing to the scripts to make it more interesting.

For proof, the concept is to be funny and we wanted to do a dance video based on the MTV by LMAO "Party rock anthem". We will also be mixing music and the NG part on the full video to mix it in to the proof.
The members of the company will need to do a dance. We will also be using different angle to shoot the proof.

After the meeting, each of us have different thought in mind. Doing Final Year Project is never an easy thing.
Hence, we need to open up to different possible methods and understand each other.

We are learning step by step and soon we will know how to walk. :)

Teaser

A change of idea in the teaser
9th may 2011

Previously, we met our client on the 6th May 2011 and showed them our storyboard as well as the audio that our team member, Mandy, have done up. They felt that the initial idea isn't enough for 30 seconds to be able to convey the message to the public. They couldn't find the link to what we have pitched during the meeting thus we have to change the idea for the teaser. 

During today's (9th May 2011) meeting with our FYP advisor, David Cheng, the comment that he gave for our initial storyboard (idea) was that he found that the photos for our storyboard isn't suitable for the theme as he mentioned that the photos are like it's the tourist attraction. Therefore, after approximately of 15 minutes of the meeting, we have discussed that the idea should change to a comparison between past learning style and current learning style. The frame should be divided into two and we felt that whatever on the left is the old and past learning style therefore, it should be against white background. And for the right hand side, we felt that it's more suitable if it's vibrant in color. This way, we will have a feel that the learning style like Problem Based Learning would be important as well. 

During this meeting, we also discussed how we could come up with the storyboard as we need to submit to both our FYP advisor as well as the client; what kind of photos should we take and who should we ask to be in the photos itself. We also discussed when should we start to film our video and when to do the post-production. Our FYP advisors guide us along on the different ways to film the video as well. 

Overall, I felt that the meeting is beneficial to us. We learnt some ways of editing the film with our advisor's help. The ways that we doesn't know about it. We hope that through this FYP as well as advisor's help, we could carried out the filming and post production smoothly.
