Above are our two Moviestorm projects we created on our Moviestorm project. We were sent to Colleridge school to create a video in Machinima, using the creative application moviestorm, an application similar to sims, letting you create virtual stories with animated characters. I enjoyed the day, at first moviestorm was tedious but as soon as you got used to it, it was fun and a good way to create videos!
I enjoyed making our videos and in general i did enjoy the day, some things were a problem at the start, for example the audio and getting speech on to the videos, also Moviestorm was incredibly slow, however we did overcome these problems due to getting used to the program. It was an enjoyable day and machinima is a good idea to use for projects, and could be very useful to the diploma as we could use it for coursework etc.
For our first video, we made a scene and storyline, with 3 characters which involved a shooting. We first created the characters and their clothing, thinking about mise en scene and the look of the set etc. Me and Matt then thought of the set and then started to create the movie. We found some things difficult, such as moving the characters and the dialogue, but we soon overcame this and created a good video to bring back to college and put on the blog. We then worked on the camera angles, which made the film a lot better. We used shots such as establishing shots, over the shoulder shots, and close ups to show the characters emotions.
The second video was just a comedy one we decided to make, it does not really have much of a storyline but it gave us more experience in terms of using Machinima and Moviestorm.
Overall i think it was a good, creative and enjoyable day and that Moviestorm could perhaps be used for projects or coursework, as it is a good application to have when doing things you cannot normally film.
