Reflection Session 5

Reflection Session 5

The session this week showed an increased ability across the board in the use of the software – app smashing. Minecraft, ishowu, crazytalk, (also hardware tricapture and microphone using screen captures) also creating naming and saving files.

Then students were able to capture images in world and export them to the desk top. They then all renamed the shot and saved it to the appropriate file on the server.

Using this image they then imported it to crazy talk and used it to record their lines and animate the photo. They also all exported the video create and saved it to the server file.

Work Plan Session 5

Session 5

AFK

In a team meeting the teams will discuss the process to record the speaking parts for each character of their film. They will need to divide the lines and rehearse their lines.

8 mins

Teams must decide on the order they will record their parts. Each character will use Crazy Talk to animate their Minecraft avatar to speak their parts. They will record all their lines of dialogue one after the other. For each line that is recorded the students must give it a name and export it to the desktop. The students can edit them into correct script order in Final Cut Pro later.

In World

Students can work in groups, pairs and singles to film specific lines of script in their films.

Each team member is to log into Minecraft and take a screen shot of their avatar in the right setting or the required scene.

Command shift 3 is the function short cut to screen capture.

They can begin with scenes including with dialogue using Crazy talk software as the tool to bring the animation to life.

Begin filming speaking scenes for the movie.

If students complete the speaking scenes.  - into session 6.

Editing the filmed scenes

Final Cut Pro

To begin todays new film project the teams will need to:

 Open final cut pro

File new event, file new project.

Each team member will record all the lines for their speaking scenes. They will export them to the desktop from the Crazy Talk software. Each scene must be appropriately labelled e.g. Niko scene 1 line 1. Import all speaking scenes and last week’s action scene to the timeline in Final Cut Pro. Ready for editing
