~Second Week~
Since our group is complete, we decided
to meet up and talk about our plans for this video presentation. At first, we were
having a hard time on how we should deliver the presentation. But after long
moment of discussion, we all agreed to present the mission as a game show because
we expected that most of the group will create similar idea such a more information
type of video and some would also act for their video presentation. We wanted our
project to be unique and different and more fun to watch that everyone can also
enjoy.
Our game show is about guessing the
images that we have created. It starts from an easy image to difficult end. I also
suggested to make the game show as a Kahoot style where the sound background is
catchier and could get people’s attention. As all of us decided to create our
images of popular locations, people and movie scenes, everyone can all relate
to it and it would be great if all the audience would participate, hopefully.
What we have also decided to do was
to record our voice instead doing an actual video with our faces in it. We record
our voice in a more enthusiastic tone to add more effect for the game show. We also
have a script already, so everything was planned, and it just need to be done. Most
of us in this project don’t have enough experience in video editing but we all
managed to get a head start and start the video presentation by doing a
slideshow first where all the completed images are put together.
I was struggling to find any good
photoshop software that I could use to edit my images. However, my group was very
helpful as they suggested an app called Gimp. This app was helpful to me and it’s
very easy to use even though there are a lot of editing options. I was still able
to create my images though I never used it before. One of my colleagues also
helped me on how to use Gimp by talking through Skype.
Before I start editing, I collected
the images first using secondary sources and we also must copy the images link
of each (we could use it as long as we have state where the image come from). Then,
I used the Gimp software to edit the images where I must individually crop each
photo and put each image on top of each other to create and illusion and make
the actor’s/actress’ face unrecognisable. We also need to change to opacity of
each image so the previous images would still appear slightly. I collected 25
images approximately for each actor to create my finished image.
After the long process of creating
this last mission, we completed it at last. We made sure that every task was
ticked before submitting it. I hope everyone could see the effort of our group
put in on this presentation and I wish everyone luck on their video presentation
as well because this last mission is the most challenging task that we ever
did, in my opinion.
