Final Concept

Toledo Christian Schools

Strong Minds. Strong Faith.

 Toledo Christian school helps develop leaders through strong faith, community and education.

TEXT / GRAPHICS:

Faith

Community

Friendship

Creativity

Academic excellence

Storyboard

1. Introduce music supplied by TCS (still need this) and cut to footage of students and AE graphics

AE Graphics

Academic excellence

Community

Creativity

Faith

Friendship

*When footage is digitized, the title of each clip will be added into the proper category to support the meaning of the ‘key word’

2. Graduate student interview/Superintendent interview – Music will transition into the audio (b-roll)

- The footage shown during this time will relate to what is being said by the interviewees

3.  The ending will be clips of students saying each key word - ‘We believe in faith’, ‘We believe in community’ and so on…(still need this filmed)

- The final scene will show little kids together yelling "TCS!” – Then cut to logo  

NEED TO DO:

-       Digitize footage and classify which key word they match up with - Storyboard

-       Superintendent interview

-       Footage of students saying key words

-       Rough video to show at midterm critique 

Case and disc style

Graphic text animation sampler

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBogJYdvUAo

Starts 20seconds in. Leader animation is something to consider

Important things to do:

-Re-shoot important rooms with students/faculty in them
-Ask TCS to convert files into Final Cut (we can't use their .MOD files)
-Shoot outside TCS
-Film students with a concept in mind (more still shots - no more panning!, and zoomed in shots of specific students)
-Shoot more little kids praying
   - Kid's Chapel on Thursday (find out times)
   - Schedule to shoot Young Rembrants Club on Tuesdays at 3:30 (ceramic activities)

BY TUESDAY

*Digitize all footage we have so far - sort through it and match up stills to create a visual storyboard (rough draft)

*Have a general script of the superintendents audio (Do this @ group meeting?)

*After Effects ideas for visual graphics (Do this @ group meeting?)

WORKING STORYBOARD

1. Open with footage of the building (still need to shoot), music will accompany this (TCS will supply audio)

2. Transition to young children playing at recess, interacting in the classroom, heather's footage of thanksgiving - following our concept to show friendship, community and fun (most of this has been filmed)

3. Next we'll show sports, introduce the new gym, (girls and boys basketball-footage from gym opening night, and also football if quality is good), cheerleaders with little kids (heather's footage)

4. Transition into middle school classrooms, shots of students walking through hallways, students in chapel

5. Show the band (zoomed in footage of students), students in art class

6. Footage of the pastor speaking to students, students in spanish class (freshman), students in cafeteria

(ALL ABOVE STORYBOARD HAS BEEN FILMED)

7. High school students in classrooms studying, interacting with each other (still need more footage and ideas of what to shoot)

**(Open house footage - still deciding where to place it)

**Audio will be a mix between TCS provided music and interview, and the interview that we will be doing this Thursday (2/16)

Update on concept and design

Looked at the final concept text, needs to be written as a statement, not as it stands now.

Who is looking into music for the sound track?

What are the designers doing? They need to:

• Create an overall design identity for the piece
• Create packaging for distribution

Since the overall concept is fine, get started on the design. Post and bring visual references to class

Visited TCS today and got footage of an egg osmosis experiment, spanish review game and history skits with students re-enacting farmers moving to cities.

The second part of the osmosis experiment is on Friday if anyone is interested in going to shoot that.

Group Meeting last night: Began learning about Final Cut Pro, discussed digitizing film and arranged more times and dates to film at TCS.

Gym Opening tonight at 5pm with a couple basketball games following that. We'll be there to get some footage.

Tomorrow there is a shaving cream activity in an elementary class that we're going to shoot.

Saturday Shoot

I believe you have plans to shoot at the Open House on Saturday. I can't be there because I have another event (argh). But, I'd like to hear what you plan on shooting while you're there.

At the Open House, what will be unique to show? What can you get on that day that you can't get on another day? Think about who will be there (teachers, parents, guests, children?)

Try to get your footage ready for Tuesday so we can regroup and talk more about your concept. It's almost there, but I'd like for Lori and I to help you to finesse it.

Thanks!
