Week 1.1 Brainstorming Ideas

Group brainstorming ideas of potential product ideas in class. (Favourites highlighted)




After this class Jess and I got together and discussed our favourite ideas and where we want to continue researching from this point. We decided to focus on two main ideas- a humour orientated dating app remake that featured the ability to distinguish a random passerby on the street by linking them to potential dating site profiles as you go past.

Our second idea was to do an actual crowdfunding video for a mutual friend of ours who wants to start saving native ferns and trees from local wellington forestries as when the pines are harvested all the surrounding flora gets wiped out. His plan was to approach the local council and companies like Bunnings and the warehouse for funding while partnering with universities to provide free native houseplants for students. 

At this point we think both of these ideas have good cinematic potential so over the next few days we plan on exploring both options while researching and rough script planning to see which will work best for us.

The desired action after this video is not just to donate to our company, we want our viewers to want our product too, ideally we would provide this through signup channels or some equivalent in the website directed at the end of the video. We relied heavily on humour for a persuasion technique as we felt it was the most effective to our target audience, (most young people don’t give a damn about statist...

Week 3.2 Planning and Learning How to Edit

In class this friday we learned how to colour correct and colour grade and the importance of this as a persuasion technique in videos. I kept basic notes in my book of how to do this for Jess and I to refer back to, and the ideas of how I want to apply these techniques to our own work... At the end of class Jess and I got together and discussed a new rough plan for the next few weeks. We began allocating jobs and setting a loose time frame for when we needed them completed. This is in the pic of our workbook below.
