Week of PG-13

This week is all about preparing for the finals which will take place next week. I was happy to hear that we were given two weeks to complete the final project for this class. I am excited to see how my show will turn out but only time will tell.

If you would like to see what my show’s plot is going to be you can click on the button below.

Outline

Next, I dove a little bit deeper into the start of the video making. Clicking on the picture will take you that post.

As for the daily creates I decided to opt out this week because I have been doing so much for my other classes and I am starting to feel overwhelmed. Part of me wishes that I did at least one because they are still my favorite thing but I am hoping to do some of them next week.

Weekly Summery 13

I really enjoyed the daily create for Monday.

Make a Small Sculpture

Alright after the sculpture business I got to messaging my group. Ravioli Radio is not doing a second production. Those that wanted to work in a group again got most of the band back together. Just like any reunion we even grabbed a new member. We discussed some ideas on discord and came up with an idea. A news broadcast. We can all make what we like to do and what we feel we are best at. It will start with a news anchor starting the nightly news. The different segments will be made by different group members. Destiny and I want to do the final edit and put everyone’s work together. I want the broadcast to highlight the starting of the AI uprising. Everyone in the group gets to make their content with their own slant and ideas. It will have variety. We have a google doc with our outline of the show, content ideas, and what people are working on. Destiny and I want to start putting it together Thursday and the project is due Friday. I am excited to see what everyone makes. I am working with some creative people again so it should be great. It is a busy time at the end of the semester and one team member is getting over the flu. Curve balls are already being thrown. I will try to check back in with progress in a few days.

Final Project Brainstorming

The final was hard for me to decide on what to do for a few reasons. First is mainly my ability and competency with technology in the way of creation. This has definitely been one of the more difficult classes for me, just as when I attempted to take computer science 101 (which I ended up dropping lol). Second would be time, I am a senior and, in my case, work has piled up instead of decreased, and that’s just school. Third would just be because I have a lot of ideas I want to do. But I decided to just start one so I would feel like I had some direction and wasn’t tossed up trying to figure out what the hell to do. Therefore, to make the best decision out if those three reasons I listed, I am leaning on choosing to do an extension of what I spoke about in the radio show with Iron Man and Ultron. I think I want to make a commercial about the threats of AI takeover with Robert Downey Jr and some sort of deepfake to show some fear that because of AI we may never be able to trust what we see on technology screens ever again. I see the potential in it, I just hope I can bring it to life, like they did Ultron.

Making Progress on FP:

by Greta Hammen

I feel that our final project of an “AI Taking Over Video” is taking shape. After classes today, I wrote the script for the news anchor with alarming headlines. I created the talking avatar video and put the link on our google document for the group project. This is the foundation for the others to then create their news stories that will be inserted into the newsroom scenario. Can you imagine AI judges that are making legal decisions on cases? We have weather difficulties, tech not cooperating and talking bricks. This is getting serious folks!

Final Project: Middle Line

Click on picture to be directed to the YouTube video I will be using.

The YouTube video is in color, but I changed by putting it into Clipchamp and clicking on the black and white filter. I would like my video to be blacker, but I will work on the look of the video next week.

I will be using this video for its visual content, but I will also be looking for some pop-ups jump scares to add to this video. I have already split up my video and took out the parts I did not want to use.

There is a male talking throughout this video and he will be my character, “Josh.” But a cleaner looking version of him. I will use the videos of him, and I will type up a script for him to say. My focus early next week (or tomorrow) is the script and making “Josh” say his script as well as finding some good scary sounds to use. Then at the end I will put everything together.

Signing into a Show: Final Project

Outline-

I will be creating a show that hopefully will be on the longer side because I really want to showcase everything that I have learned. However, I was having difficulty trying to find a theme for the show. I have been thinking nonstop for about 4 days and I needed some inspiration.

I know from past experience that we cannot use animation to make people talk which is okay. I was thinking of finding something that will keep you on your toes while watching but without having a lot of talking but more sounds instead. I ended up going on google to try to help me find a theme or plot for my show. On robinpiree I was able to find this:

“Secrets of the Old Manor: An estranged family inherits an old manor, leading to the discovery of hidden passages, secret rooms, and a haunting mystery from their lineage.”

This gave me a huge idea! What about a tour of an old house? It would be PERFECT! The reason I say this is because it would be in black in white film so it solves my issue of “what if the colors do not line up” and it solves my issue with having someone to talk that will look apart of the show because again, it is black and white.

An old house will have creaks, water dripping, maybe wind if a window is open. It is pretty much an open book for the sounds I could use. Also, I will make it a scary vibe with certain kinds of music.

My plot (if everything goes right) is to have maybe a husband and wife move into an old house and they realize there is more to the house than what they believed when they bought it.

The prompt I will trying to achieve is:

“Characters and Aggressive Technologies. Bring some of the story threads the class has developed over the past several weeks to a conclusion. You might build upon the radio show project or go in a different direction. This concept has good potential for collaboration because you could develop intersecting or interrelated storylines and work remotely and asynchronously. It would be interesting to see how many stories we could get to intersect, or even connect tangentially.”

Final Project Part 1

There isn’t much to update on at the moment. I am trying to solidify with my group what we are going to do for the final project but it is going to go on the AI take-over route. I have found a new group to work with and I am excited to hear about their ideas in the coming days and hit the ground running with this final project!! So All I have done so far is network and find a group to join, figure out the general idea of what we are doing which is an AI take over the show from what I can tell, and start to throw ideas for the show already. Excited to keep the blog updated!
