Checking In

So this is a difficult project. Just getting our group together is hard. The different formats that a video can be saved under has screwed us up. It is a lot harder and more time consuming I think any of us had expected, but I am sure we will have it done in time before the due date. Another hurdle is that the department does not have enough equipment for podcasting. So I had to go out and buy a microphone that plugs into my computer. I am going to try to figure that out tonight, hopefully I can get it working.

Getting Started

Although I have already started my final project for the class, I thought I would write about my expectations for it. I hope that by doing this project I will be able to understand new media better. I am very slow when it comes to computers and I hope that I can use quicktime and story boards a lot easier.
I think that the project is going to turn out good. Sol, Nate, and I have decided to make it a spoof of the show COPS, so I think everyone will get a good laugh out of it. This is going to be harder that simply working on an in-class project because all of us have to get together and meet after-school hours which can be difficult due to work schedules. In this team I have decided to be in charge of making the blog and podcast. The project should be simply, just the only thing that will set us back is the editing.
