Final Storyboard - Speed Dating

Our storyboard assignment went well, we handed it in on time and Camilla and Corin seemed pleased. It was a bit of a rush near the end trying to get everything done on time but we worked as a team and completed it. Its about a boy who goes speed dating to get over his girlfriend but falls back in love with her when he sees shes an employee. I'm quite proud of it.

Photoshop my nemesis.

In Digital tools we began editing our images in Photoshop using filters to change the hue and brightness giving the photo a cleaner more professional look. I didn't enjoy using Photoshop and I never have done, I find it too complicated and some of the tools do not do what they say they do, I'd much prefer to use Paint.NET, hopefully it will be a programme we use next year.

Storyboards

We have been assigned the task of creating a storyboard using photographs only to tell the story. I have found it quite easy to create rough sketches of storyboard idea as I've done this sort of thing at A- level, however I think that enabling everybody to understand what I mean may be a little trickier.

What Is Creativity?

In today's Creativity and Concept lesson we looked at what creativity is . Oxford Dictionary describes creativity as "the use of imagination or original ideas to create something; inventiveness". We couldn't exactly decide a true definition as creativity is different for every person but we all agree it is something that is needed and coveted.

Everyday objects

We were asked to take photographs of things around us that we wouldn't usually notice. I took a few on my commute to university but this one is some Turkish dolls that my sister brought back from a holiday. I think the lighting is really beautiful and I think I followed the rule of thirds, emphasis on think.
I've uploaded some more on my flikr

Special Items

In this weeks lesson we were asked to bring in an item that meant something to us personally. It didn't matter the value or age of the item as long as it was special. I brought in an old film book from the 70's that was given to me by my granddad. He'd had it as long as I can remember and we'd look at all the black and white classics together. It's one of the things that increased my love for film so I thought it was fitting to bring in as my special item.

We were split into groups in class and made a prezi presentation about each of our items and what they mean to us. Afterwards we presented our prezis to the class. It was lovely and interesting to see a small snippet of the strangers lives that I will be spending 3 three years with.
