Natalie, Brittney, and I first started working on the invention the minute we agreed to work together. Natalie and I both had ideas for the invention, but in the end we ended up doing my idea because it was already planned out and seemed more possible. After we decided on my invention I explained it to them, and we started to brain-storm posters ideas. In the end we decided to combine all three poster ideas. In the poster stage of the project every thing went smoothly and the poster ended up great. Afterwards we had to complete the movie/commercial portion of the project, which was probably the trickiest part of the project but was also a breeze.

My group’s invention was the Cyber Eye®. The cyber eye is a kind of contact lens that works for people who need contacts & those who don’t. Cyber eye also comes in the format of an eye transplant substitute and works for everyone. Cyber eye also has many special functions such as x-ray vision, heat vision, freeze vision, underwater vision, internal brain computer, and many more eye applications. Along with eye applications cyber eye also has wireless connection to your brain giving you other abilities such as the force. Cyber eye also works for any one of any shape or size. Cyber eye is only $150.99 per eye.
I came up with the idea of this invention from a project similar to this one which I did in fifth grade. The idea came to me when Mr. Goldstein mentioned that we had to make a commercial because the project I did in fifth grade was to make a commercial for an invention.

During the project there was a series of steps in the completion of the poster faze. The first step was brainstorming. During this process Natalie and I discussed which idea we should use. The second step was to create a thumbnail draft of the poster. My group and I made different drafts and in the end we combined them in the end to create the poster which leads me to step three in the project process, creating the poster. During the final process faze we created the poster, during this faze we designed the positioning sketched the poster out and then colored in the perfected sketch.

The final step in making the project was the video/commercial. During this step there were many procedures. The first was writing the script. I designed a script that reflected on the posters contents so the video would go along with the poster. Secondly I made the story board. When I made the storyboard I drew still shots of fragments of scenes. The third step of the video production was filming the video. During the filming there was only one problem, background noise. My group and I solved this problem by editing the sound and using voice over. The next step was editing the video. During this faze I first imported the video then edited the sound, after wards I added the texts tittles and extras and then finally I put it all in order. Finally my group and I, we posted the video to the vodcast server and embedded it in our classroom blog at http://weblogs.pbspaces.com/mrgoldstein .

In the end my group and I did a very good job of working together and cooperating. During the entire project no one argued or complained and the project was completed with ease. The benefits of the group was that we all got along as well the fact we each had our own attributes that contributed to the completion of the project. The part I particularly enjoyed about this project was the editing of the movie and the filming. I think the filming went particularly well because we didn’t make too many mistakes and we completed it particularly fast.

In a conclusion I enjoyed completing this project and I learned that advertizing and coming up with a new product is harder than it appears.

♥Working together as a team with Paige, Courtney, and Yasmina to create an idea for an invention and document it though sketches, a poster and a video. My group had a tough time coming up with an idea for our invention. Then Paige came up with the idea of making a special perfume. When you spray it, it instantly makes you smell amazing, look beautiful, and it makes people fall in love with you.
When we were brainstorming for our invention, we had a lot of different ideas, such as shoes that play music when you walk (so it’s more fun to exercise, and run.), and a magic mirror that comes with makeup already inside of it, but we realized that those ideas were already invented. When creating a thumbnail sketch for our poster, I drew a bottle that was in the shape of a heart, with a squeeze pump at the end of it. I colored it pink, red, and purple. The reason why it’s in the shape of a heart is because it has to do with love. That’s why we called it ‘Love me’.
When creating the poster for our invention, it was very easy because it almost looked exactly like the thumbnail sketch. Love me is a magic perfume makes a huge impact on your love life. Once you spray it, you instantly smell good, look beautiful, and all of the boys will fall in love with you. It costs 250 dollars, plus tax ☺.
Our script is about two friends who are at the mall. One friend says that she smell something really good. Then, they follow the smell and enter a store called Perfume Mania. A cashier welcomes them into the store and asks one of the friends if they want to test out their newest perfume. The friends agree to test it out. The cashier sprays it on the friend’s wrist. All of a sudden, the friend that tried the perfume is surrounded by boys. They sniff her and tell her she smells really, really good. The friend starts to get scared and she asks the cashier what was happening. The cashier tells her that she is under a love spell, and it will only ware off if she stops using it, or if she sprays a lot of it on her. That way, it would smell bad and they would stop following her around and they would be disgusted by the smell. So, she sprayed a lot all over her body and the boys ran away.
Next, we shot our video. We had a few problems while shooting it. For example, I didn’t speak loud enough and I didn’t project my voice. We also didn’t know where to shoot our video and we didn’t have a lot of props. Luckily, Paige brought in a bottle of perfume that we could use as a prop. That helped a lot. The next time we have to shoot a video, I will try to make my voice louder. Maybe that would make things a lot easier.
After that, we edited our video. We imported each shot, then we made a title, then we made credits. It was a very simple process.
Finally, we posted our video to the Vodcast server and embedded it in our classroom blog at http://weblogs.pbspaces.com/mrgoldstein.
My group worked really well as a team. We all got along and it was fun. The benefits of working as a team were that we got to spend time with each other. The only problems we encountered were that my voice wasn’t loud enough, and that we had difficulties getting props. Paige helped us out by bringing in a bottle of perfume.
When doing this project, I particularly enjoyed drawing the thumbnail sketch and drawing the poster. I love to draw. It is very fun and easy for me to do.
I think the drawing part went particularly well because I happen to be very good at drawing.
In conclusion, I learned that teamwork and participation is very important. Things might not go as well when you don’t participate, and teamwork is important because working with 4 people was better than working alone. It was also a benefit because we all had great and useful ideas that we put together to come up with a unique invention.♥
