Day 3

Instead of going to our usual classroom for lessons, all MOI students were gathered in LT 25.
Our lecturers handpicked serveral opening/ending sequences as well as the making of the video for us to see and learn from it.
They not only show us the good ones, but the bad ones too. Styles that they do not advised us to use for our MOI project one video.
One of the styles is handy camera style. I've already expected that particular style to be on the 'don'ts list as it has lots of jerky movement that might cause nauseau to the viewers,
thus, losing their attention/focus on the video and that will eventually kill off any interest they might have hold for MOI.

Narration's also a very important factor, especially the narrator's way of speaking. Whether it'll be on a serious (the monotonous documentary kind that's usually found in National geographic)
note or on a light-hearted & fun note. I've yet discuss the narration part with my fellow group mates yet but I think we'll be settling down for the light-hearted & fun note.
Because if we were to do it on a serious note, it might just turn off/scare away the secondary school students (besides, the selling point we've choosed for MOI is "FUN")

Alfie talked about the settings and how it'll affect the main character as well as the look of the whole video. Another thing he mentioned that I think we have to look out for is the lighting.
Like what he said, we dont want ourselves or our classmates look bad on the screen. Therefore, we'll have to take extra measures to make sure it wont happen. (by using a white board to act as a light reflector)

Then, it's about how sounds affect videos and the importance of sound effects. In my opinion, sound is a crucial element in a good video. Sounds are able to create/bring out the atmosphere more efficiently.

There's also a couple of opening/ending sequences that use graphics instead of video. I personally loved the way they manupliate the graphics, it brings out more life and makes the opening & ending sequence much more interesting
(able to grasp hold of a young adult attention since) It's highly unpredictable what will come in next, thus, the viewer would want to continue watching the whole show.
