 A spy parody of James Bond films    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxuM0-hid2M

 

1. The challenges and tribulations of being a group assignment

·         Time constraints – Filming takes a considerable amount of time even though it only captures only a few minutes in the final edit. Organising everyone’s availabilities

·         Meeting up was a challenge. We had to film in two separate occasions to fit our busy schedules.

2.                        The process of creating the video

·         Our theme for the video is a satirical representation of the methodologies involved in the creation of our blog.

·         We’ve drawn inspiration from spy movies such as James Bond, Kim Possible, and Danger 5.

·         We filmed it on campus and on a dormitory.

·         We used a software film editor to cut the desired the scenes in order. Sony Vegas was used as one of the members was more familiar with this particular program.

·         Some sound effects were added in an audio track to add a ‘spy feel’ to it.

·         We used voice over sound clips to add humour. ‘Simlish’ conversations from the game The Sims was incorporated in our film.

·         To add more of a spy feel to it, we used fonts and colours that resembles vintage spy films.

·         We also added some clips to help emphasise the satirical nature of our video.

·         It was uploaded into the blog with a link to Youtube.

3. How does the video relate to your blog?

·         It relates to the methodology of the creation of our blog.

·         It describes how we selected and communicated to each other on movies that were blogged about.

·         When we saw an interesting video/movie, we would contact one another to see which one was going to do the blog.

·         We wanted to document this in our film.

·         We incorporated some of the films that we blogged about as an inspiration for our video’s theme.

·         From the movies we blogged about, we selected a few that we decided to make a parody of.
