Study Notes

Planning a Media Project

  • A project brief provides important information about the project
  • The brief should answer questions like: What does the customer want? Who is the product for? When does the customer want it? Why does the customer want it?
  • The customer for this project is the school
  • The project aims to create a video library about school life
  • The video library should showcase students' talents and IT skills
  • The goal is to encourage more students and parents to choose the school by showcasing positive messages, school facilities and details about learning

Importance of Planning

  • The project involves using shared digital assets created by classmates and students themselves
  • Digital assets include short videos, still photos, graphics (e.g., logos, charts), and text (e.g., titles, captions)

Project Brief

  • This document details crucial facts about the project
  • The project brief should answer key questions to properly plan the video project
  • The brief is used to ensure proper planning and production

Creating Prototypes

  • Prototypes are models of the product to help imagine what the finished one will look like
  • Prototypes help in the design stage, ensuring the end product accurately reflects the brief
  • Two types of prototypes exist: low-fidelity (early stage, hand-drawn sketches) and high-fidelity (closer to the final product, including working links and features)

Storyboards

  • Storyboards, a low-fidelity prototype, are simple drawings and notes that visualize the order of parts of a video or website
  • Storyboards help visualize and order video or website content
  • Storyboards aid in planning all project elements while helping think about every design part

Video Project Components

  • The media project involves interviews from students
  • Interviews should be conducted in a way that follows the style 'piece-to-camera' or 'off-camera conversation'
  • These interviews should take place inside or outside school buildings; they should be filmed in high-definition in colour using a widescreen format (16:9 aspect ratio)
  • All assets (videos and still images) will be stored on a file-sharing service.
  • The video should be no longer than 5 minutes

Timeline

  • The final video must be ready for viewing and sharing by the end of the unit.

Additional Notes

  • Students should answer three specific questions during the interview segment: Favourite school activity, who inspires them and their aspirations for the next year.
  • Students are expected to follow these guidelines to produce successful interviews
