The planning beggins

Our Project is to create a Media Event for BTEC Media students from Bath College.

Our class was split into 4 groups. I joined Kirsty, Mike, Edem, Tom and Annie.

All the groups were to come up with three ideas each, these are the ideas:

The Big Draw: Huge piece of paper in which they all draw on, create a stop motion piece that they can all watch afterward.
Dual Camera : one would be the animation ( the picture 'becoming'), the other would see the people moving.

Advert: Create an advert for radio or television. Give them a jingle. Let them come up with ideas then create it as a group. Split into 4 groups of 5 so they are all doing something.

The News: Create a News feature and invite people from points west to also give a talk about their profession. The students could present the weather using green screen, others could be part of a filming team in the studio or on location.

Short Film: Making a one or two minute film, certain people from the industry could come and give a talk( e.g. Sean Geoghegan ) to discuss his inspirations and what he does.

Multi camera: 2 camera unit acoustic set, they can all be involved.

Interview: Interviewee Ed Whicher from our class, the student could take roles such as camera man and sound.

Charity:Could tie in the event with red nose day and get the red nose day film crew to film our event to add hype. OR create a charity for our university as the fees are going up this would tie in well and we could possibly create hype and ask famous people to come and join in.

Green Screen: Focus on Green Screen, make a music video. A friend of theirs worked on Coraline with CGI, they could give a talk and a demo.

Dress up film: Dress up as cowboys ad film the stand off, explain how to film it ( e.g. the close up of the eyes) and then let them do it.

Radio Debate: Their aunt is a producer at BBC West she could be a speaker.

Bath Life: Greg can give a talk, put in a magazine article and publish.

These our the ideas we are working on. We need to do research into what the students would want and develop these ideas for the event.

I am excited about the project commencing!
