Right, this might have been one of my incoherent, near sleep moments, and it might not make sense. I will do a storyboard at home and hope that that makes it all a lot clearer for you, even though I can’t draw very well!

I did have the idea that we could do a silent movie. Has everyone seen them? They are usually in black and white, with the dialogue shown on screen after the action. Kinda like the Kaiserchiefs video 'I Predict A Riot'. The contrast of the black and white, silence of the movie, and the videos of news reports, which will be in colour with sound, might keep people’s attention, and if we did it right, the silent bit could be quite entertaining. The way I see it, it would go like this: I haven’t thought of an ending, and not even sure if it’s a good idea or not. What do you think ?
 * 1) Person walking around. Sees riot/protest in distance. Followed by screen saying ‘Qu’est-que c’est ca? C’est aucun de mes oignons’.
 * 2) [S]he then goes over to find out what’s going on. ‘Vous êtes émeutes. Pourquoi? Il n’y a pas une raison aujourd’hui, en le monde’ or something.
 * 3) The protestor replies ‘au contraire’, and goes on to show footage of Pakistan, Burma, Paris, et l’historie de France.

Any more ideas ? Lex

That sounds good...we can't have too much silence though for obvious reasons! Although a little could work.

Just to check the most important bit, have I got the french right?

1. "What is that? Its none of my **//onions//**?" 2. "Why are you rioting? There is no reason in the world today?"

Chris

It's an idiom that we were taught in middle school. I'm not sure if it's real or not, coz the teacher was slightly crazy and tended to make some stuff up. And yeah, there might have been a better way of wording it, but I was in a rush. Lex

Ahh, no wonder I didn't understand! lol! Makes sense now though. I think thats a good way of putting it, i'm wondering if its just me & u on here though or if the others are online too?

Chris

Others are online too! This is the first time ive been on here, i didnt think anyone wouldve put anything on! Im having some trouble with the French Revolution! Its all explained in really big words :s I cant understand it in english, let alone translate it into french! Spice girls starting their new show tonight. what a disaster! anywho, back on subject... HELP! im gonna keep looking, but if you happen to see anything, it would be much appreciated!

i like the silent movie idea, but we would have to make it extra interesting to keep people's attention. "Tres bon!"

Kym

I think that whatever we did we'd have to think of some way to keep people's attention, be it humour, or something, because whatever the subject/language/way of presentation, people are still going to get bored, and even more so because it will be harder to understand the French.

Lex



Yer history isn't always the easiest to understand! My mum said she might have a few things on the French Rev. so I will see what I info I can dig up for you.

I will get going on my bits sometime this week (probably after Weds when my mocks finish).

Chris

PS. Lex - looks like you've got some good stuff there!

Hello sorry I haven't been able to get on here yet, thanks for the photos! I like the silent movie idea, but we would need some music, maybe cultural for Burma and Pakistan, to keep it interesting. Also, will we be narrating through the presentation or will we use something like subtitles? By the way the BBC are very good for news reports.

Alex

What I thought was narrating through the news reports- if we just have the footage then, and subtitles in the silent movie. Then we can include speaking and writing.

Lex

Anyone had any ideas over Christmas?

I found this about the assassination of Bhutto, but I don't know how to save it to my computer.

Lex

I had a look at getting that youtube video onto my PC but it didnt work. Im not sure why it wont download

Also I will do some research into the Paric riots.

Am I right in thinking that our next meeting is this Saturday? (2nd Feb) If so what time?

Chris

Excellent, thanks Lex.

I have a few links which I will put here for safe keeping but I'm planning to bring stuff with me on Saturday.

Do you think we will need my video camera?

Chris

Hey everyone, sorry i havent been on for ages, been a nightmare with exams and stuff.

It looks amazing what you have so far, ive got a bit, i havent had time to translate it yet, hopefully will before saturday! Are we looking purely for text and video, or for pictures too?

i have hardly any resources, but im trying! I'll bring as i can find then we can just fit it together.

Fab ideas!

Kym

Hi guys,

2 things:


 * Thing Number 1** - Looking through the work we did yesterday I have come across 2 news jingles and I can't remember which one we chose! Is it number 1 or number 2?

Jingle1 media type="file" key="news1.mp3"

Jingle 2 media type="file" key="news2.wma"


 * Thing Number 2** - Could I have both the scripts (the french versions) from yesterday for the recordings that Alex & Kym did please? You don't need to bother typing them up if you don't want to - you could just scan the page & email it to me (or post if here) if thats easier for you.

Chris

They sound both the same to me??

Should we delete some of the irrelevant stuff up there?

Lex

I think they are both different - number 2 sounds the better one in my opinion but its obviously a group choice.

Isn't it easier to leave everything we have for now - at least we have got access to it if we do decide that we need it?

Chris

Me again - I have been working on the video over the weekend (I didn't realise our next meeting was next weekend!) Was there some footage I was sposed 2 be downloading (or someone else sposed 2 be downloading)? Maybe I'm imagining things but I seem to remember we had trouble downloading something while we were at Northgate last time?

Chris

Woah Woah, I thought it was the 15th?!?

Lex

I have it on my phone calendar as the 8th and I remember putting it in there last time we met - although I could easily have got it wrong. Anyone else know when it is??

Chris

You were right; it's tomorrow.

Have we got any scripts and I will try and put subtitles on our video??

Chris
