** 15th August 2011 **
====Seeing ideas from other groups, we really wanted to make our video to stand out. So we were discussing on how to make our video really interesting and attractive so that people will anticipate watching it instead of having the feeling of being forced to finish watching the video. ==== ====The idea just came flying to us when Jeanette and Hayley were randomly making jokes about the ducks they saw by the lake. It was a stressful day and out of no where, Jeanette said //“i wish i have a gun right now to shoot the ducks and then cook it”//. And then, Hayley just looked at Jeanette as though she was crazy but few seconds later, Hayley said //“You know what? What you said was crazy but funny... and we can soooo totally use this for Mytable project!”// ====

So, that’s how the idea came about.
====And then we started creating the chronology of the idea and the more we talk about it, the more excited we got because it will be a totally different story than the other groups. ====

- It has the most interesting storyline.
====- The story of the video is not predictable (this creates curiosity among the audience of how we connect ‘hunting ducks’ to ‘MyTable’). ==== ====- It’s engaging with the viewers (the video allows the viewers to choose who is the winner by clicking on the link in the video) ====

And we came up with a rough sketch of our idea:


** Before shooting the video **

In the making of this video, the group has decided to divide the tasks among themselves.

Sketchings & drawings - Erica Preparation of Movie Props - Hayley Editings - Ken & Jeanette Camera man - Ken Director - Erica Actresses - Jeanette and Hayley

So at the beginning we were wondering if its possible to make this story into a video as it will take a lot effort and time and editing, in the end we believe in ourselves and made it happen.

Our first step were to find a connection with someone who has gun or weapons, we were thinking of borrowing the Swiss Machine gun from some of our friends who went for army in Switzerland but then we found out that we need license to handle the gun or to walk around with it even if its without bullets in it. So we had to find another alternative and decided to find guns that look realistic but fake.

Luckily we found a friend who owns 2 guns just right for us to shoot in the video. See the picture below!

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">After the accomplishment of getting the required equipment, we could then move on to making our video with the guns. Before that we were thinking of wearing the army suit but then decided we can make the video more funny by wearing a cardboard written bullet proof vest. See picture below!

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">media type="custom" key="10587248" width="80" height="80"

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">After making of that bullet proof vest and dressing up as hunter girls, we then proceed to the shooting area with ducks available which is the Lucerne lake.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">** During the shooting: ** <span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">We took some time there to get the perfect shot and had a few bloopers of course. <span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">Since the shooting was done at night, there were not many people. However, we have a few people that stopped by just to watch us film. Some laughed because we seem ridiculous while some asked if we’re holding a real gun. Some commented that we look hot and dangerous while some commented on the poor ducks that we’re ‘shooting’. Overall, it was a fun experience. <span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">It took us over an hour to shoot the parts that we needed for the video. Take a look at the video below for the bloopers:

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">media type="youtube" key="3wznIcaoXJg" height="315" width="560"

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">** After shooting.. the editing part. ** <span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;">After the completion of video shooting comes the editing part. We wanted to make the video into a gaming video feel so that this kind of effect will attract more people to watch it as its more exciting. We had a few discussions and meetings then we decided to use imovie to edit the pictures and videos and putting the captions and sound effects in it to make it look for reasonable and easier to understand as during the whole video we were using more to body language instead of speaking.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 90%;"> We also decided to split the video into 2parts as it will be more interesting to click on the other video just to see who’s the winner of the game. But at the end both the answers are wrong and then the table come walking out. The table’s made of papers together and was taken with pictures motion to give the impression of a moving table moving with glory due to the winning title. It is then close with the 2hunter girls eating happily in a restaurant that was recommended by My Table.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We hope everyone will enjoy the video!!Thank you!!

Conclusion Overall, it was a great experience for each of us. Creating an advertisment for a company does not involve just ideas, filming and shooting but requires a lot of other things as well such as team work and creativity. The biggest challenge that we had to go through was selecting the audio clips for each part of the video. We learned that audio effects would create a huge impact on the audience motivation. Audio effects creates atmohsphere and putting the right audio would allow us to bring the audience into the world of our video. Next challenge for us was the editing part. Since none of us are professional video editors and most of us have never edited a single video in our lives before, we find this a great experience. We managed to sit together and learn the video-making step by step. Of course we are still not professionals but we managed to learn the basics and in this case, we used iMovie-maker software. We also used other softwares such as Camstudio-Recorder to record the typing of the words in powerpoint. Photoshop C.S.5.1 was also used to edit photos.

Mr Bean is having trouble sleeping because it is so hot. He brings the fridge into his bedroom to sleep next to him. Mr Bean is a very famous character over the world with his comedy. This video transforms Mr Bean's hilarious actions into animation and exaggerate them. Many people are attracted by his unexpected action.

This Heineken commercial shows the reality of what women and men is made of. It associates men’s obsession with beer and women’s obsession with materialistic things. It is a success because not only it manages to get 10,845,910 views but it manages to relate our (the audience) typical lifestyle. It is also a success because Heineken’s commercial began with something that has absolutely nothing to do with Heineken, until the ending of the commercial. In my opinion, it’s a great tactic to to show nothing about your product because in that way, it would make viewers to anticipate how would this video turn out or it would make them curious of the ending. However, if the ending fails to produce a ‘Wow’ effect, it would disappoint the viewers. In this Heineken’s case, it manages to surprise the audience, with high degree of humour too.

This cute lizard commercial shows the importance of relationship and how much they treasure each other on the cracked ceiling and had a romantic time. that was until the crack became too wide and 1 of the lizard fell and die then the partner lizard couldn't bare to live without her so he committed suicide as well. and at the end the commercial is about getting a good quality paint so that the paint wont crack and the other lizard couples or family can live happily.I feel that people will like this touching story and realize how much effort they put just to promote the paint and will look up the company of the paint and get famous gradually due to the success of the viral video. it is essential that we know how to capture the audience heart and attention through various ways like the combination of romance and humour.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">“The Original Human TETRIS Performance” and “T-SHIRT WAR” are the same type video “Stop-motion”, first one has base on “GAME OVER Project”, project developed by the French-Swiss artist Guillaume REYMOND, projects itself has many other similar video (using real human-beings sitting in an auditorium) but I pick this one because “TETRIS” is more playful and memorable. In my point of view, the smart point of this video is using many different colors also sound effect make it more funnily, it can make up there is no story behind. On the other hand, “T-SHIRT WAR” is selling story more. The smart point of this video is it can pass many message through by using t-shirt. And many colors are impressive as well, however I think the background music is not that attractive enough in this 3 minutes. In my opinion, I would like to mix important element from those two clips, use story, color, and sound effect, try to avoid long text and dialog, hope those elements can make it stand out.
