BP: Movie Discussion

The discussion board was definitely helpful in regards to the development of my film. A lot of the questions were applicable to my artifact and the format in which I want to depict it. One of the first questions I found helpful was the one about how to portray the business aspect of your artifact. The answers included things that I've already done, such as researching the company as a whole. This questioned ensured me that I was on the right tract with my storyboard. 
The next question I found to be helpful was asking what kinds of camera angles were most effective for maintaining the viewers attention. The answer enlightened my approach to the actually positioning of each object in my shot. Now I know that the best way to emphasize my artifact is to use the rule of thirds. The third question that was useful to me was determining the recommended format. I myself have used iMovie before and found it rather difficult. I was glad to hear that the QuickTime program is universal, and transferable across devices. 
Another question I found intriguing involved the use of a skit vs. a voiceover power point. My plan was to do voiceover film, but it was interesting to consider taking it in a more creative, abstract direction. Now I know that there are endless possibilities for the composition of this project. Since my initial plan was to have a recording with voice over, the question involving whether this or slides with written words was best, stood out to me. The answer, which suggested a mix, made me consider integrating some readable, interactive slides into the film. 

Overall the discussion board was very helpful and informative. I'm glad I had a chance to take a peak at everyone else's ideas and viewpoints. I hope they will only further my endeavors in the creation of this movie.
