It's so easy to forget how weekends and family can make concentration and focus so difficult to try and muster up for things that need to get done, especially school work. Then not only is it a weekend, but Easter weekend...and not only is there school work to be done, but end of the semester review papers and storyboards. So, I just wanted this blogs subject to be about the problems that some may have gone through this past weekend, with organizing the group together or organizing different ideas together.
I have to say that i've never done a real video project and not only do i find this a new experience for me, but a really fun and creative way to express an idea or point. One of the things I've learned is that storyboarding is essential, like a roughdraft is to a good paper. And it seems the more you have your ideas together in a storyboard, the more organized and less stressed we're all going to be when we're filming and editing.
Another thing that I've learned is that dealing with others in a creative environment I at first thought was going to be a lot more difficult, yet it hasn't been too bad, and having more creative thoughts really enhances everything in the end. Last but not least, i've l earned powerpoint is a really good demonstrative tool when words do not get the idea across.

interesting thoughts...I like the idea of a storyboard being a rough draft too. It seems to me to be a good point to jump off from. It helps to get your ideas in line and kind of condenses all the good ideas into one specific plan that will eventually take place. And that's not to say that the storyboard is a final draft either, because that can and probably will change before the final project is turned in. But it really does help you to start thinking and figure out where your ideas are heading. I didn't particularly like the idea of drawing out each scene, though. It seemed very time consuming; we spent more time on drawings than anything else. Besides, in the long run, is it really helping that much? Oh well, in the grander scheme of things it was a pretty good exercise.
