First Update on Project

Our project on the One Laptop Per Child Project has gotten underway with research on the project and the laptops themselves. Since a description of the project and the laptops will be the first scenes in our movie, this was a good place to start. I have also been thinking about music that could potentially fit in with various scenes. We have also found information on those who do not think this project is a good idea and those who stand behind it 100 percent. We are currently working on gathering media, especially since we have begun work on a storyboard, it will be a little easier to know exactly what we are looking for. Kerry has found some clips on YouTube, which will work great, but we are unsure of how to get the clips into iMovie. If anyone knows how to do this we would greatly appreciate some help!
Our next steps will include finishing the rough draft of the storyboard, gathering the rest of our media, and begin putting everything together, which we hope to have started by the beginning of next week since the rough draft of our project is due next Thursday, February 14
As far as remediation is concerned, everything we are going to use will be remediated in our movie. We plan on using pictures, video clips, text, graphics, and music to create a digital movie. We have also discussed hypermediacy and have decided that since our movie is going to go from pictures to video clips to text, our audience will be aware of the changing formats, therefore making our movie hypermidated.
