Third Mission - Digital Journalism - Fake News

~Reflection Pt.1~

The final result of the short video was quite a success. The quality and editing came out very well. The video show a good amount of editing which shows the skill that was used in its making. In the making of this presentation it has though new skills in filming and editing and has also left me with some useful information through our research on the topic of fake news.

I enjoyed the over all process of making this video, from planning the skit out to the filming and even the editing. The over all experience was great. The team work was great we made sure to communicate as much as possible to keep each other up to date with our work and see if we can help each other out. We were able to stay with our schedule and had completed the project.

The only problem we had come across was the video not being able to submit so we were delayed in the submission but we were able to submit it in the end after a few changes.

~Reflection Pt.2~

After reviewing everyone's video on the topic they covered for methodology it allowed us to see what we lacked in our own presentation but also showed us where we did good. At the end of this the majority of the groups had not fully completed the task that was given and we were one of them. We realised that we were more focused on the end product of how the video would turn out that we had missed some key notes in order to properly complete the project.

The class that we have taken to review each others project, I think, allowed us all to reflect on the work we have done and has showed us ways we could improve and add to our own video. This also showed us that we are more than capable in fully completing the task if we have put our full focus on the main objective of the project.

Since this is our last project for semester one I hope to use the lessons I have learnt in the production of this project and hoping that the mistakes made are not repeated in future project.

~Product Pt.3~

We have come towards the end of the third week. With all of the planning and filming completed the only thing left to do is the editing. This is where some difficulty comes in, only one of the members in our group has experience with editing videos so me and the other member are only on the level of basic editing of videos.

The tool we used fro editing was Premiere Pro. We compiled all the clips we shot and organised them to make the short skit. In the process of making this short film we made sure to clean up each clip so that they corresponded with each other to create the story. We cropped out the moments where mistakes have taken place to ensure the video looked a lot more professional. Audio wasn't loud enough in some of the scenes so we increased the volume to ensure we provided clear and understandable audio. The screen recording we had taken were used for the scenes where the messages were being sent out so that it was visible to the audience what we were typing out and also to put some editing skills learnt in to practice. We cropped the screen recordings at the corner of each clip but also making sure that we are not being covered. The clips of the students taken in the canteen and library were used to input text notification to create the effect of news spreading.

Week two is where we start the filming for the project. We will be putting our plan and ideas for the skit into action. All the scenes will take place on college grounds. The camera did not have a muffler to cancel out the wind so we decided to record the first scene in the males changing room where it was isolated and quiet.

The blog, containing the fake news, was created using blogger. This was used for the first scene to start off where and how the fake news spread. The next scene take place in the canteen, this is where the news starts to spread. This is done by screen recording our phones while messaging others on Snapchat. Three recording of the same scene was acted out by all three members of the group but in different locations. The next scene is a footage of the canteen as well as the library. We used these footage so that we maybe able to edit and add text messages popping up above the peoples head to convey the spreading of the fake news. The final scene will take place in the lockers again. The scene will result in one of the members to notify the other member that the news the was on the blog was not true.

~Product Pt.1~

In order to make a video for fake news we had to come up with fake news. Instead of taking an idea of the internet we decide to have our own story. We based our news on Shaun, the news did not have to be in any way extreme we only needed to demonstrate what fake news is and how it effects the media. Our fake news is on Shaun who is pretending to have a Donegal/American accent and is actually from Finglas and had a heavy Dublin accent.

In the first week we planned out how we were going present this video. We came up with the idea of making a skit that shows how fake news spreads and effects the media. We did some individual research about fake news and how fake news is created in order to help us with our task. We gathered the information we have collected and agreed on ways we could spread the fake news. Blogger will allow us to make a blog that lays the foundation and source of the fake news, then we will use the the app Snapchat to spread the fake news the blog has provide.

We plan on filming the video on college ground so that it is easier for us to gather and film after our lectures and labs. One of our group member is kind enough to let us use his camera for the filming.
