Final Project

Video

When the video was being made, I was the assistant director with Sabeeha being the director. We helped each other set up the shots. The commercial is about a teenager wanting to go outside to hang out with his friend but he is stuck doing homework. He goes on the app store to find an app called Photostudy. He takes a picture and it gives him hints to complete his homework and he goes outside to hang out with his friend. The concept was to show how the app will make students' life easier. Our team chose to use Carson's video because it showed the main idea effectively. The video was made using Final Cut Pro and the music was chosen in the website ismfilms.com.

 Animation

In the animation strand, I was given the part of the product designer. The phone with Photostudy on it was made in Sketchup. The concept was to make a phone with the app on it to show our product. I picked an iPhone because it is one of the more common phones and a lot of people use Apple products. Picking a phone to show the product would show that the app is accessible to everyone at any time. 

Graphic Design

In the strand of graphic design, I was given the role of making the web banner. I used Sabeeha's word logo and I added an apple and a blue border to the banner. The apple symbolises education because teachers and apples always seem to go with each other. I added the blue border to make the banner pop and blue represents trust and that would mean that students can trust Photostudy. Later on, there was conflict and I had to make the website. The website was made with the banner in it and used yellow, blue, and red. Yellow symbolizes energy and that would represent the efficiency of Photostudy. The red background represents education as a lot of things like apples and erasers are a red color.

The team had a rocky relationship overall. There was a conflict where Will was supposed to the we site and he did not finis and he was going to come in during Seminar 2 but he did not. This was resolved by Sabeeha and me coming in after school to do the website.
