Video Planning

Although I have not started actually creating my IMED Video Project, I know exactly what I am going to do. I am planning to get all the footage and necessary points done this weekend and put it all together in class on Monday... and Wednesday if I have to. I am just going to do a quick "how to" that points out the ways to get rid of bad breath. I am keeping it simple and sweet. Clips and/or pictures with music and a voiceover by me. I will record my own voiceover at home. I am planning to include a script/written dialogue, music, a voiceover, and actors.

On a side note, I feel gross today. Not just because I dressed up as a tacky nerd today but because I have a sore throat, cough, and I lost my voice. I just want to go home and sleep. I am so tired. My day just began though. I am determined to make it through my last class that ends at 2PM. Here goes nothing!

Website

I updated my website that I created on Dreamweaver and uploaded it to Filezilla. I barely even know what a Filezilla does and where all my work goes. I think I am pretty satisfied with how my website looks. I finally got to insert pictures that coincide with my project onto the front page of my website. The words with the pictures make sense. I got my poster design up and running with a link for people to be able to see it big and clearly. The only thing I might want to change in the future is the way my Capstone Essay is presented. I might just copy and paste the whole document on my site just for easy access. Right now it just has a link to download the attached file. I do not know which way is better yet.

I need to start and finish my actual PSA/Video for my project. I know exactly what I want to do. I just have to record it. After that, I am set!

Beginning Unit 2

What is next?

• Finish up everything from my website design to my video to my poster design
• Figure out if my capstone project's end project is okay
• Keep on keeping up with my blog and its posts
• Get through this unit just as strong as, if not stronger than, the first unit

My proposal update:

• I am still planning to fight off Halitosis by creating a retainer-like product that does not just cover up bad breath but uses its natural substances to kill the bacteria in a person's mouth that causes bad breath. The retainer is planned to be easy to use and dissolves as a person is sleeping.

My choice of media:

• I like the idea of having a website and a blog to keep things updated and in check. The video idea seems not to have a huge impact on my project really. The poster design is a great way to advertise.

What worked?/What did not?

• I did not like the fact that my website gave me the most problems, but I do want to keep it as part of my project. My video idea will hopefully turn out okay. Everything else seems to be fine.

Today is a very rainy and cold day. I came to class a little late because of the sad weather. The weather today is the kind of weather that makes me feel sleepy and sometimes gets to my bad side. I hope that it stops raining soon. I have two tests and I have to walk from bonham to yegua and back to bonham. I do not have an umbrella either :( Goodluck to me and all the ones without umbrellas!

Poster Design!

Today I finished making my first draft for my poster design. I think it is cute and pretty simple. I liked the colors and the simple font. The picture was found in Google images and recolored by me too.

Update for the past week/s

I haven't gone on here for a while and posted anything lately. I've been caught up with working on my website for this class. It keeps giving me problems though. I created it on Dreamweaver. I think I should have just created it on Wix. The Dreamweaver one won't show up correctly when someone else clicks my link. I'm so confused. It's perfectly fine when I'm working on it and looking at the previews after redoing something on it, but I guess it just hates me :( I really like how it looks though. I uploaded my blog, essay, and video on there and made the design simple and easy to read. The only things I need to change are the pictures, and I need to add my poster design. Everything else is fine and the way I want it to be, so that's why I hope Professor Curtiss can fix it or something. I really don't want to start over.

Today we are continuing to present our websites and work on our poster designs or anything else we need to work on.
