In this year of English we did a joint project the whole class that lies in doing a TV news program,at the beginning of the year the idea was interesting but we have10 days left of class and we did not finish recording some news so that means that we did something wrong.

Since  I said already the firsts weeks of the project began well, but later it turned repetitive and boring this happened because Second of Bachillerato is one of the most important and stressful courses that we had, so we have a lot of homework and things to study every day so we didn’t dedicate many time to the project, personally I think that this project would be nice for previous courses in which you do not have so much stress because with all sincerity and from my point of view for the only thing that has served us is for take down our english average

# data[].attributes.body
Second of Bachillerato is one of the most stressful courses that students have throughout their student career. It is a course in which they must decide which path to take for the future and where they must take an exam (EVAU) to enter into the career that they want.

The subject of English is one of the easiest in comparison with the rest of subjects, in which with a little effort we can get a good grade. That is why, at first, i thought that the idea of doing this work seemed magnificent, apart from doing PAU exams to practice. From the beginning I thought that this project would help us to raise our grade in English and to compensate the rest of the subjects in which our grade is not that high (at least from my point of view), but from the beginning our idea of the project with Dina´s was very different, that is why I think the work has not gone as we expected. I think our work has been adequate throughout the course, but it is true that with a little more effort the work would have been perfect.

Throughout  the course we have worked on the project, writing the script, organizing the  padlet ... which has allowed us to improve our writting skills, but a project lasting a year means that the students should be very involved, so from my opinion , In this course we could not allow ourselves to be as long working on the project as Dina wanted.

All in all, the idea of the project was quite good, but I do not think it was very appropriate for this course in which we are very stressed and the only thing we want is to have good grades. I think that for other courses it would be perfect because they could surely spend more time on the project, but for Second of Bachillerato i think a smaller project would be fantastic.

# data[].attributes.body
When we were given the project at the beginning of the year, nobody could have predicted that we would still be in the process of making it with two weeks of the course remaining. Had it not been for the rush we have been through in the last couple of weeks, we probably wouldn't have finished it.

This has been the greatest issue with the project, the amount of time it has taken. At the end, we have spent working with the same pieces of news for months, and it has somentimes been frustrating to see how there were no developments for weeks due to certain tasks we had to complete which were often redundant and even pointless. I think the concept of the project is interesting, but its structure feels like if it stopped from moving on.

Another big concern was the timing of the project. A project that takes a whole year needs a lot of involvement from the students so as to be succesful. It doesn't feel appropriate for this course. It is not just for the english class, but for the others too. For example, lab work in physics or maths projects, have been erased from this course. This sort of projects cause rejection since they mean obstacles in this prime motivation we have this year, which is the PAUs.

As I said, the idea behind the project is good, and I feel that it would be a shame to throw it away because of the failure it has turned to be this year. With a new structure that could make it shorter, and changing the course in which its performed, the project could become a great reminder of what our education has been, which I think was its original purpose.

Our last year in school started with with an english project that caught most of us off guard. We had in mind a different idea of what this school year would be like. First of all we were expecting, or at least some of us were, another teacher. However, this didn't bother me a bit. Moreover, and what is the factor that triggered chaos, there was an idea set on our minds that this particular subject was going to be a joyful ride without any type of work required.

At first I was more than pleased to find that the assignments we were required to do fulfilled my expectations since it was a relaxed atmosphere where we had to do little to non. Unluckily things took a turn for the worst when when received our marks for the first term. I found my marks to be unfair when I checked my classmate's work. Despite a general feeling of malaise starting to spread in our class the fact that the so called `subida´was a PAU made things get better, but just for a while. We started to be clueless about what we had to do, since we spent a week to read the script. At this point everything exploded. Dina was unhappy with our attitude and work and we started to be even more unhappy about the project. We thought that this project should haven been more relaxed due to the fact that we have a more than sufficient english level to accomplish our goals in `selectividad´. From this point until the end of the second term a state of pandemonium was unleashed  due mainly to the fact that the `subida´exam was no longer a PAU.

Since the beginning of the school year teacher and students had different things in mind which caused a collision between both. However, I currently am happy with the change the whole atmosphere surrounding the project has experienced and with the final products we are obtaining. All in all, I think that the idea behind this project was a really good one but the moment when it was chosen to be done wasn't the best.

The first tutorial I saw was about how to add music to a clip, to do this, first of all you have to select the video, then select the option: +audio, and then is very easy you only have to select soundtrack. After doing this you can loop it and change the volume.

The next video I watched was about how the camera works there it's a option called guide that is very useful when you cordinate more than 1 item because it helps you knowing if it is centered.

The third video was about the whiteboard, this toutorial could be very useful in our proyect improving the way our information will be displayed.
In the whiteboard we find 5 tools:the text, the arrow, the rectangle and the eraser.

The last tutorial I warched was very useful because it teaches you how to input videos in a background, this will do that our project seems  as a real new programme, to achieve it is very simple you have to turn off the camera and touch the film icon and choose the video you want.

18/10/16:

After a disastrous exposition, where we have shown we are the weakest team so far, we have decided to switch our attitude towards the project. We have once more divided the work. This time we hope our structure is strong enough so as to build a solid sports section out of it.

With each of us aware of the field in which our news should be about, it's just a matter of time until the decision of all the covered news is made. For example, like a normal sports program would make, reviews of one matchweek of the two main football leagues will be made. We also thought that the idea of covering a piece of news about the football team we are part of, the Fred Pirris, is magnificent, and therefore we mantain it even though Dina didn't seem very happy about that idea. Let's just hope that she was just mad at our obvious lack of work so far.

However, there are reasons to be optimistic, since these last two days our work rate has hugely improved, and we have basically made the same work in these las two days than in the rest of the year.

After starting to write the script, we have been working hard to be able to write it as soon as possible and putting together the main news and articles that we found previously. The basketball and football news are finished and reviewed; Also the interview that makes Matias to Galban also is written with the possible answers that could give. Soon we will finish writing the news of tennis, NFL and MMA.

29/11/016

After finishing the script we have started to record the interview with Javi galban in order to finish it before we have to record the presenters. We have found some difficulties while trying to film the interview. First we met outside school to film but it started raining. Afterward we tried to film in school, however we were not happy with the results. Currently we are waiting to find a good spot to record.

13/12/2016

We are now reaching the final steps of the project. Iñaki has embraced his duties as the team leader and has joined the rest of team leaders to create the final script. Meanwhile, since our script is already finished, the other members of the group are in charge of learning how to use Touchcast in order to record.

These sessions are looking a bit unproductive. There are constant disputes in the team leader's job, since he found out that each group's work is nit compatible with each other. Making changes in the script is complicated, since, especially the international news group, is reluctant to do them, and they are taking it personal, accusing our team leader, who's only trying to make the news program coherent, of trying to undermine all their work.

Dina has had to take part in the situation. As a result, the Yayo Pact has been signed, and everyone has agreed to have two main presentors to unify all the different secions, leaving the content in each piece of news to the group who has made it initially.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the latest features incorporated in TouchCast is Dropbox. If installed in the device in which you are using TouchCast, it will appear as an option when adding a new vApp. You can select anything stored in Dropbox, and it will appear in the video. You can give it a title, add a link to it or modify its opacity.

First, you create a vApp and you will be brought into the main menu, so you tap the photo icon. In the camera roll you can choose the image you want. When you touch the image you want a green line will appear around the picture. To add the image into your project tap "Add to video".

The greenscreen allows users to set desired backgrounds when reocording some place else. It consists on recording in front of a green surface, then erase the green from the picture and place whatever background.

There are different greenscreens which you can use. As long as it's flat and its colour remains consistent, there will be no issues between using a professional one or just putting together green pieces of paper.

In the effects tab there is an option for greenset. Tap it, and that will erase any green from the camera. Make sure not to wear any green clothes, so as them not be erased. If the background is not fully erased, by choosing colour right next to greenscreen you can choose which especific colour you want to erase.

To improve the greenscreen effects, you may tap settings, and modify them in terms of sensitivity and smoothness. The icons at the right allow you to choose the new background, either an image or a video. Afterwards, you may change the settings as well, especially the degreen and background stabilization modes. The first one is to either eliminate or not every piece of green there is, and the second one will determine if the background remains intact or cut a bit, in order to give a sense of depth in the image.

With the teleprompter you can easily read your text while recording with TouchCast.

To use the teleprompter tap the camera tab, then tap teleprompts. Tap edit to write or paste your text inside the white teleprompter text box, after tap save. Remember to have some spaces in the text to remember to have a break or to take a breath while recording. You can also practice the teleprompter reading by tapping the play icon without recording, so the text will began to run. With the speed slider you can readjust the speed of the text.

Once you create a project you tap on add a vApp. Once you have done this a new window will appear giving you the optio to insert diferent vApps froms news to photos to calendars. For example if you are trying to insert a web page you tap on the web page vApp option and then search for the web page you are looking for.

TouchCast Tutorials: How Do I Create A Video Background?

# data[].attributes.body
There are two ways of creating a video background touchcast.

First way: turn off the camera and touch the film icon. Choose the video you want, but it is going to be without sound.

Second way: you can add the Video Background from de green screen feature. First you turn on the green screen feature, after you touch the film icon. Choose the background you want and with the color icon you can move the sensitivity and smoothness slider to get the right balance.

Guillermo Contreras

# data[].attributes.body
To enable the feature, you first need to select the greenscreen, which is in the effects tab. Then you have to create a vApp. You can choose the position to create the silhouette. Once it's created, you can change its position and size, using your fingers.

Iñaki Garrido

# data[].attributes.body
Its goal is to show the balance of the screen. To use it, you must tap camera, and afterwards guide. The grid will appear onscreen and when that happens you can easily move different tabs in terms of location and size.

Iñaki Garrido

# data[].attributes.body
Before starting with your touchcast you should have your script finished and decided which videos and images you will be using.

Now create a new TouchCast by clicking on Cast side and then on create new. Afterward ypu could start creating vApps which will appear on the bottom of the screen. You could also insert a teleprompter. To give your Touchcast a better look you will be able to insert a tittle by clicking on 'Tittle', which is next to vApps. Next to tittle there is the whiteboard option in which you can write and draw. To insert effects you should use a green screen.

Once you have all of the previous ready you can start recording. As the recording is going you can insert your vApps. When the recording is finished you are able to edit the clips. After the video is of your liking you render it and then publish it to the world, save it for yourself or keep it in your camera roll.

Message from the Team Leader:

This phase's utility was to gather the information obtained during the two previous, organise it and make a decision about which pieces of news should we emphasise on more.

We had already decided which different sports we wanted to include, and what news to cover in each. Reviewing this, setting for each piece  of news the time we wanted to give to them, we realised we had to synthesise some of the information. We therefore decided to cut the Basketball section into a simple summary about the NBA season. Moreover, the motor section was erased from the section. Neither of the news chosen were interesting enough for us, and we thought we were way over ten minutes. Therefore, it was erased.

Another step in this phase consisted in writing summaries of each of the news. Basing ourselves in the selection we had made about the roles and the piece of news each member would cover, the summaries were written.

# data[].attributes.body
During the summer NBA teams trade players between each other. The most important transfer were Kevin Durant, from Oklahoma City Thunder to the former champìon Golden State Warriors. We can also highlight Pau Gasol's move from Chicago to San Antonio. Finally, Dwyane Wade moved from Miami to Chicago.
