ASPIRE GROUP

All pics on Public Drive under Aspire

Week 1 - Decision made by group to make college video of things this group carry out in the college
Planning carried out on White Board (see digital photos on M drive/Aspire)
ie Areas to be covered, music for video
Created hand drawn storyboard (digital images of drawings)

Week 2 (2 extra students from school joined) Review of what was carried out the week before and discussion of what we were doing that day

Listened to few pieces of music
Took images in refectory (3 cameras for the group)
Downloaded the images to Aspire folder
Quickly looked at the images taken

Week 3 Review the images taken last week - what is good and bad, what would make them better - I was going to rotate and crop to make them more funky but...

My proposal

Listen and vote on the best music or take more images for the other areas proposed for the video

There is a screen dump of the .mp3s
Each student could be asked to give marks out of 5 for each song and see what is Top 2

or

take more images of life in the college and place in Aspire folder

Laptop and Projector normally left in the room - I usually use my own laptop.
