Finishing the Proposal

Over the past few weeks our group has been working really well together to get our presentation ready for next Monday! We are excited to have the opportunity to present our thoughts and ideas on the healthy campus initiative to Jennifer Goree.

Last week, our group began filming in the shoeboxes and everything has been very successful from the beginning. Nate and Blake did a great job acting out their scenes from Billy Breathes, and Erin really shined in her role. Additionally, the scenes at Fike were shot earlier this week including the front desk scene and the yoga class. Stephanie was an excellent front desk attendant and the video is coming together. Also, Nate has continually done an excellent job leading the group, thus giving us the ability to complete the film in a reasonable amount of time.

Yesterday, we finished the video portion of Billy Breathes and completed all the editing and formatting for the pilot episode in the Tillman Media Center. Again, Nate contributed extensively by figuring out how to use the Mac Home Movie editor (no one knew where to start haha). He added text, music and transitions to our video and it really looks great. By setting up different meetings we were able to accomplish our task and everyone has been trying to contribute in one way or another.

On Friday, we will have class time to discuss things even further, but as of right now we are ahead of schedule. I plan on creating a few slides for Friday so that we can incorporate them into our presentation. After discussion, we figured it will be necessary to have a PowerPoint to introduce the proposal, provide an overview, and then serve as a medium for viewing the video to our fellow classmates. All and all, we will easily meet the deadline and our proposal project has been very successful. I am part of a great team!!
