Prior to the session I started to condense my research into sections with only the most important parts. This will make it easier when I’m making my slide for the team document and deciding what we put in the 5 minute video. The sections that I’m gonna include is an introduction, the history, future and importance of children’s book illustrations and a couple of case studies.
As a group we discussed our plans for the layout and presentation of the video. We initially said doing voice overs of each of our sections. We liked that but wanted to make the video more engaging and cohesive between our research. So the way we’ve decided to do it is in the form of a conversational Q&A. The conversation with flow thematically rather than from 1 persons research then move onto the next person. This will help us combine our research to create a good map of the industry. Each answer will flow nicely into the next question.
We started by sharing our research then we created questions from each persons research that we thought where the most interesting. From these question we planned out an order that would make sense and cover everything we wanted to say.
This is the plan for how the voice over will go. In terms of the look of the video we will have the question appear on the screen and then images and key bullet points that caption and support the answer.
Over the week we will each properly plan out our questions and answers. Also we will share any relevant research with each other that are needed for our joint answers and collect the images we’ll use to support what we say. So before we meet up to record the audio we will have create a detailed script of what we want to say.
For the team document we don’t need a cohesive layout or look so this is more showing our individual passions and creativity. I’m gonna make mine in a poster style on InDesign using the majority of the concise version of my research.
