Day 2

Yesterday during class time, everyone got a preview on everyone else's blogs. It was interesting to see what people wrote in and what others left out.
Looking at theirs, I thought that whatever I wrote for Day 1 was too short.

So, first, I shall type out whatever i did not include yesterday. We came together and listed out what each person still has and whose works we are going to include.
The list came out as such:

2D Art fundamentals - Everyone has their works
Creative Storytelling - Only Joel
Drawing Essentials - All
Communicating Design Ideas - All
Ideation - Joel and Natalya
Video Fundamentals - No one has their works, but since our clip is mostly on video recording, we are using that to present this module
Digital Media Fundamentals - Marge and me
Animation Fundamentals - All
3D Art Fundamentals - All
Photography - Joel, Natalya and me

CDS and Electives
Visual Presentation Essentials - Joel, Natalya and me
Public Speaking - Natalya
Italian - Marge

So that was what we came up with on the first day

Day 2, we looked at the above list again and decided to spilt the jobs and confirm who is going to present what.
Before that however, I will mention what Wahidah (our lecturer) asked the whole class

She asked each group to come up with 2 main points that we want to portray through our clip.
Joel,Marge,Nat and I came up with 2 of our own points. When we got together to see what the other wrote, it came out to be relatively the same

1. We want to be able to tell the potential students what MOI is all about, the classes and projects we had to go through
2. That we had fun in sitting through projects and classes

Wahidah then told us to have one person from each group speak up and share of the 2 things. Since everyone else is shy and illiterate (HAH) they appointed me to do it. We were the last group to share our thoughts so we had a chance to hear what everybody else had in mind first. Mostly, the group's aim was to promote MOI and have new people convinced and inspired to join our course.
Our group's motive was different. We wanted to inform our audience what MOI is all about.
We came up with this motive because as we shared, we realized what everyone shared in common at the beginning of the year.
Most of us did not know what we were in for or what classes we had to sit through, so we decided to be really nice seniors and tell our potential freshmans what MOI is all about so they have a better idea of the course. We dont want people ending up not enjoying MOI when they have chosen it, so instead of major contemplation and lost of sleep, we will tell them what is in store.

Next part, we planned on how we wanted to showcase each module. We have not decided on all but I will just tell you those that we have planned on.

2D Art
we are going to have some video recording device in our hands and walk through the existing exhibition of everyones 1m x 1m

Drawing Essentials
Camera is above one of us (who is holding a sketch book on their lap), frontal side view so audience can see the sketch book.
The person (one of us) will start drawing and have our dear Mr.Ronald critique his/her work and ask him/her to start again until he/she gets it right.

ComDI
We decided to do a mindmap on us brainstorming on our collage a.k.a "School of Rock" style.
To take a video of the mindmapping proccess and the researching that is required.

Ideation
We decided to combine this module with Public Speaking. First, there would be a narrator saying "this was before public speaking" and the person showcasing their Ideation work will stutter and spaz out in whichever way.
then the narator will then say "after public speaking" then that same person will fluently deliver their presentation.

Animation
During this module, for one of the excercises, I animated this girl playing a guitar. We decided to use that. First show the animation then fade out to me playing my guitar. Or the other way round.

3D Art
We will take a video of everyone of us making a sculpture. Class is about to start so i will update this in detail when i have the time :D

Goodbye and see you readers in class

LOVE
