Final Project Blog #10

The workshopping we did today really helped me in ironing out the details. First of all where to cut my clips was really helpful because that seems to be one of my week points on most of these projects. I get so wrapped up into driving the point home I forget how long the clip really is. After someone said that Abby was in a lot of the clips I started looking for clips that had more Ducky and less Abby. Unfortunately most of the clips I found on YouTube involved Abby. The fact that she has a ton of clips on You Tube makes perfect sense because she has A LOT of fans out there. After hearing everyone's reponse to my project I realized that most of the people in the class have never heard of NCIS, much less watched an episode- which changes my audience more than I thought it would. Because I am doing my project for two classes my audience needs to be redefined, because clearly NCIS doesn't target college students. Becausde of that I think I will take a suggestion made in class- which is break each remix into a seperate character and then do a wiki page on it. That or a website. This way I can do some deeper descriptions of each character- including some background information, and explain what ideologies they represent, and then people can watch my video. This broadens my audience because like Stephanie said people that already know a lot about NCIS can just go to the remix, and the people that don't can read a little background information first. This will also solve the problem I was having with transitions between characters. I will definitely need help for a website if I decide to do that because I have never made a website before and at this point I am on a bit of a timeline. I have to present this project in my other class next week, and considering we are workshopping everyone's stuff this week, our time is short. I need to find out if I can just finish the iMovie project I am working on and then be able to split it up by each character- or if I have to reimport each clip into seperate iMovie projects and re-edit them- which would not be very efficient or fun. I also need help with my volume levels, because I have no clue how to fix them in iMovie. Whatever happens I know the workshopping really helped me figure out a lot of grey areas! So thanks everyone!
