Audio/Photos Class today

We learned about audio and photos today, here are some tips from roxanne...
Audio
Identify segments that have potential by using time
make notes about the story that will evolve
save as uncompressed format-wave or aif format
Photo
Use Iphoto
Use Usb to DL photos into Iphoto

Teamwork!
Phil-script some questions for the shelter
Everyone-bring money for the recorder and get the recorder
we also need to meet with Diane and Jen, they work during the week, Jim on the weekends

UPDATE...

So, we have a decent amount of pictures from the shelter, but need more. We also need to focus more on the main idea of the project (the adoption story) so we need to do more work on that. As things stand currently, we are on a good track and have good support from the shelter. Just wanted to keep team moral at a high level (where it has been) and encourage further progress to the completion of our project! Great job guys woohoo!

sound recorder

Hey so I have been reading some other blogs, another group is planning on buying the 70.00 sound recorder for the ipod. They asked if our group wanted to pitch in with their group. There is 3 of them and 5 of us so it wouldnt be that much.
Let me know by monday, through the blog or text or im, so i can let the other group know. Thanks

REMEMBER...

Remember to make sure that one of us brings a release form to the animal shelter for legal purposes.

Bring multiple copies J.I.C.

Read me before 2nd trip to shelter

Interview/Pictures/Flash tips

-When asking questions on camera, cut out our voices "dont step over the interviewee's voice", allow space
narration, ambiance (example: couple seconds of waves not a few minutes), interview
-looking at camera but not posing**
-black and white to color**

Things to think about before second trip to shelter!
who is interviewing, who is writing the script, who is getting the boom mic for ipod
questions to ask workers
questions to ask friend who adopted pet

-also we need a lot of images of our friend who adopted playing with his/her pet in and out of the animal shelter to present the story in the best manner and make it a "moment in time"

keep in mind, we are presenting the story of Jamie adopting his pet and the steps he will take, while incorporating the importance of donations, volunteers and the reasons they employees love their jobs

Trip two

Hey guys! I can go to the animal shelter at 2, I talked to evan he is going too, I think. What we need this time is more pictures of the workers while working and while interviewing. Also, the pictures of the animals could be a little bit better. Hopefully they have gotten some cute kittens. So if you are going this week with us bring a camera and a notebook for notes and blog as much as you can.

Great first trip to the shelter, however we need to go back to take more pictures of the inside of the shelter... Wednesday we have an appointment at 2 guys so come if you can! We also need to work on our storyboard and start putting the website together... I'm sure we'll be working on that in class today. We also need to plan a day this week to have a meeting in the Mac lab.
