Imagine

Teleglove

My invention was the Teleglove. We came up with this idea by just randomly brainstorming as a group. Our group had Aaron, Rave, Nick, Joey and me Will. It was really random but we all agreed on the invention so we did it. When we came up with the idea we had to make a sketch of it. In the sketch we had a glove with a watch dial in the center of it. Then we had to draw it on a poster board. We drew the same thing that we had before and we had to color it and put reasons to buy it and what it does

After the poster we had to make a script for a video of the invention. I was the main star. The script was about a kid who was put into a cage by to bully’s and they wouldn’t let me out. It was a funny video in the end. Then in the video we pretended that I was teleporting to different places like in the class, the sky, and a bunch more places.

In the video we had to get the perfect angle for the shot. That part was a little challenging. But we made it work by maybe changing direction or different spots around the boundaries. That is how we changed the shooting around. When we where shooting the video we where having a lot of fun. But sometimes fooling around isn’t the way to get a good grade. But we ended up doing a good job

Next after shooting the video we had to edit the video on movie maker. It is a little hard editing the video but we are learning as a group and will not get defeated as a group. We are very good as a group in my opinion. After we are done we have to upload it to the broadcast server. And then people can watch from anywhere they want to.

As a group we had our differences but that is the fun of it we have to work them out. That is what a group does. I think that this project went very well. We made the video really funny so I think people will like this video. I learned that when all your minds are put together great things can happen and you will meet new people that you didn’t even know of before. That is why I like this project and really liked working in groups.

My team invented the X-Backpack. The X-Backpack can do you homework for you, has a built in fridge, and a GPS. We couldn’t come up with anything else. The X-Backpack was the first thing we came up with. We wanted the picture of our invention to have a big X on the front because of the name. We really didn’t have a reason to call it The X-Backpack. The X-Backpack costs $99.99.

In the script for the video I play a kid who has a really lame backpack and I want a new and cool one. My partner Hayley is trying to sell me the backpack by showing me all the cool things it does. We had some problems shooting the video. There were other kids in the courtyard where we were shooting and they were making a lot of noise. Then Hayley and I forgot our lines so many times and forgot what we were supposed to do so we had to start the scene over again. Another problem we had while filming was trying to get the camera to stay on top of Hayley’s pencil case because we had to be in the shot together at the same time and had no one else to hold the camera.

Next, we edited our video. First, we had to put all the scenes we shot in order on Movie Maker. Then, we added transitions from scene to scene. Next, we added titles and credits and added music to it. Then when we were done editing we posted it to the Vodcast server and embedded it in the classroom blog. The thing I liked most about this project was editing the video because I liked listening and picking the music for the credits.

I think it’s better to work with a partner or in groups because, if you need help with something, you can just ask your partner. We didn’t have a lot of problems working together. The only problem we had was not always agreeing on something. I think the filming was pretty easy because it didn’t take long and we only had to shoot a few scenes.
