This week I finished all of the things I had left to do. The video was almost done just needed to change some of the green screen footage. I had finished my cup design as well as my info-graphic and didn't feel these needed any refining. Overall I enjoyed this project and found that my main challenges were with some of the software as I hadn't used some before however I was able to solve this my watching a Lynda tutorial or asking for help in the lecture. I didn't have any problems with the group work as I felt we all contributed and turned up to film if we needed ect.

This week we filmed the footage for our green screen scene. This went fairly smoothly as we were just filming the cup so it wasn't moving which meant it was easy to keep in focus. I also started editing my footage which started our with me watching all of the clips and getting rid of the ones I defiantly wasn't going to use. I then started to put the footage into different 'bins' depending on what it was so that I could easily access clips I wanted in the future. I then started to put the clips in the order that I originally put in the storyboard, although it didn't seem to flow very well so I ended up changing it around but I am glad that I had something to base it on even if it was vague.

This week I only just found out that I had been able to join the course but didn't have any lectures to attend so I went on blackboard to see what I had missed and if there was any reading I could do to catch up on. Luckily I had not missed much so I just read the handbook and some of the learning materials.

This week we looked at how to use some editing software and how to use chroma key to archive a green screen effect. As I had done some editing in the past the workshop on editing was a useful reminder of how things worked. However I have never used a green screen before so this was very helpful. The reason we were learning about chroma key was because we had to use at least one green screen shot in our video. I am going to put the cup on a scenic background for mine to show the viewer that the cup is good for the environment and to sell the experience.

This week we filmed our video. We agreed that we would film two different ideas and each member would chose which idea they would like to create, however when we met we agreed to just film one due to the limited time that we had left. We already had an idea of what shots we were going to get so we didn't think it would take too long. We wanted to film a few shots in one of the cafes on campus so first went there however upon asking the staff we found out that you need to get prior permission to film on campus which is something we would definitely have to think about in the future. Thinking on our feet we decided to go to one of our flats on campus and film in the kitchen and just make it look like a coffee shop. The filming didn't take too long but we got enough shots while staying on track and not getting pointless footage which was good. If we were to film again we would have to think about permission to film and a cup that we could use as we had to use a plastic cup in the end instead of a coffee cup due to bad planning.

This week was spent catching up with work we were behind on, this so I spent most of the time finishing my info graphic. I had previously decided how I wanted it to be laid out but now had to make it happen. I wanted to put alarming facts on the poster so I started by finding some online. I then started to create the info-graphic in the program inDesign. This proved to be fairly difficult at first as I hadn't used it before so I ended up watching some how-to guides on Lynda to help me with the basics. Once I got going it was okay to use however I feel I would avoid using it in the future if I could because it was frustrating to use and I would use Photoshop if I could.

This week we were introduced to the sketch up software which we would be using to design and print our cup. To be able to do this we would need to discuss our dimensions. We decided that our cup should be around 550ml so we had to think about how we would make this work. I had never used sketch up before this and even when following the tutorial I found it very difficult and frustrating to use. However I feel as I use it more it should become less difficult although I found some of the functions strange. I particularity found it difficult to pan around the cup and look where I needed to.

This week we had to refine our ideas for the cup as we had so many. We were also given some more guidelines on what to do such as £40 or under production costs and it couldn't cause environmental pollution. This made things more difficult in some ways because we wanted to use a heating and cooling mechanism in the cup. However it proved difficult to find the material for one as it had to be not too expensive and environmentally friendly.  However in someways it was helpful to have more narrow guidelines as it helped us to stop going off track.
We also started to create our own info-graphic for the cup. This was difficult to do at first because this wasn't meant to be an advertisement and it should be more image heavy. I started to look at some info-graphics online for some inspiration. As seen to the right is one made by Jack Hagley for The Times. I liked this because it is exiting to look at and gets the information across quickly

As I joined the course late I had missed a couple of weeks and I wasn't in a group yet. However I was put in a group and they were very helpful and updated me on what they had been doing in the last couple of weeks. The group had come up with a few ideas however we had a lot more this session. Such as adding a base which could have several different functions and could be changed to suit different peoples needs. At this point we had a lot of ideas and possibly to many so it would have been beneficial to us to narrow down some of the ideas,

This week we started to think about the video we were going to make for our cup. We had to edit our own video but could film in groups so we came up with two different ideas, one was a funny approach and one was more serious and would make people think about the environment. We started to make a storyboard of our ideas so that we could visualize them and know exactly what we had to film so that we didn't waste time.
This was also supposed to be selling an experience not a product so I looked at some videos to inspire me. I looked on kickstarter and found a video for a universal lid (video 1), I liked this video however I found that it was focused on selling the product and not an experience which is not what I wanted. I found another project and although it wasn't to do with a cup it gave me some inspiration. It sold an experience more than a cup and made people want to invest because it showed people looking cool in cool places which made you want the product so you could be a part of this experience.
