Enterprise Project - Surveys
As part of the Fiver project we have been setting up mini enterprises in groups of 5. In those groups we have pooled together our £5s, come up with business names, logos and products.
To undertake market research we have created surveys using surveymonkey
If at all possible, could you please respond?

Into Film Project - Session 12 - Part 2
Today we have been finalising our 'The Girl and the Fox' inspired storyboards. We then sequenced them and put them into a 'Shot sequence book' in preparation for filming.
To see how the film is going to look we then used iMovie to film the storyboard. This gave us a good sense of understanding how long each shot needed to be and what sounds may be needed.
Here are three of our group's filmed storyboards:

Into Film Project - Session 12 part 1
A brief update on where we are with our fantastic Into Film project based on the short film 'The Girl and the Fox'.
Over the past few days, we have been split off into five groups and have begun the process of planning films inspired by 'The Girl and the Fox'. We have looked at the themes identified by our Wordle and selected those that we feel we want to tackle.
In our groups we started thought showering ideas for films and then negotiating between us on what sounds like the best ideas.
Finally, we came up with five film ideas:
The five film ideas decided upon were: Magic curtain; Magic glasses; Lost in the woods; Pajama drama in school; and The vanishing football.
We then revised camera angles and discussed which types were best suited for certain scenes. Next we story-mapped out our ideas for our films. Following this, working back in our groups, we sat down and used a laptop to type out our stories with the potential camera angle suggestions on.
Finally we started to draw out our storyboards. We went for the idea of cutting the storyboards up into individual strips for each shot so more of us could work independently to build up the film quicker. We will then glue these, in order, on A3 paper as our filming plan.

Into Film Project - Session 11
We had a bit of an experimental session today!
We were looking at trying to put ourselves in the mind of the girl from the film via an interview session. We started off by hot seating the girl in a fan style question and answer session.
We then wanted to put ourselves into the film, directly asking the girl our questions and giving her responses. Now, we had two problems, both cartoon app and green screen were not available to use for one reason or other. Through experimentation we decided to try to make comic style images using Explain Everything. This meant that we had to import a screen cap from the film; take a photo of ourselves; use the trim tool to cut around it; add text, making it clear who was speaking.
This was great fun and the results looked alright... especially for a bit of an experiment!

Into Film Project - Session 10
We continued with our project today but studying different camera types. We discussed why these different shots would be used and the power they could hold. We then looked at screen caps from the Girl and the Fox and debated what shots were used.
Using a sentence starter scaffold we looked at generating sentences to go alongside each shot. We thought showered these and then shared wrote some examples on the board. Following this, we had a go at writing our own.
Pinc worked with Mr Roberts and used Explain Everything to record their sentences:
