15-5 one

The semester has begun!

Things feel as if they are off to a great and productive start. After forming a team and obtaining a client (Mr. Schell and company), we divided up roles for the semester. I volunteered to be the graphic designer and lead video editor. Since I am taking a course in video editing, I really hope to use what I'm learning immediately.

On monday, the team met with the client to begin planning. We learned of the scope of the project and about our intended audience for the final product. We will be creating 3 lessons on whale morphology for students in 6 through 12th grade. The lessons will be supported by activities that are still to be designed and developed at a later date (obviously).

Thus far, I have read the studio handbook and posted my first 15-5 (again... obviously!). To do this I had to acquaint myself with blogger, which I am eager to use more for documenting in future endeavors. I also began a search for pictures and graphics to use in our design. This is a very time consuming but enjoyable process for me. In the upcoming week, I look forward to solidifying a team name and beginning to read the material that Dr. Schell has provided for us.
