Today all the speakers had a run through of their introductions and recieved feedback from Lesley and the other group members.
In general my opening speech was fine. I was comfortable with welcoming the students however I just needed to work on my description of the game and really do it in basic terms.

Media Event blog 2
We came up with the activities for the media event these will be.
1.) Big Draw
This will be an animation excercise using stop motion. it involves a lrge sheet of paper and a stills camera. All participants rush in and have 5 seconds to draw as much as possible of an object like a tree for example. When the 5 seconds are up they have to rush back out and a picture is taken. Then all the pictures will be put together and the students will get to see how it all developed.
2.) Green Screen
This activity aims to give the students an insight into the medium of green screen. It will begin with the process of green screen which is called chromakeying and brief talk about how it all works. Then a game will be played based along the same lines as 'Whose Line Is It Anyway'. an image or video will be placed behind someone infront of the screen and using a similar format to '20 questioms' they have to guess what's behind them.
3.) Cowboy Shootout
This will be an activity based around shotting a short scene. They have to create and make a showdown scene which includes filming and directing it. The film will then be editied and shown to the students at the end of the day.
I've been placed in charge of the green screen room which means working with Ant and introducing the students to the activity.
