Scanned Storyboard

This is the scanned version of the storyboard, the typed & drawn one will be up soon.

Some of the frames used in this storyboard isn't same ones as we used in the actual filming so this would still be a draft of the storyboard.

Scanned Script

This is the scanned version of our script, we will type up the final one soon.

Some of the lines written we either didn't use, or changed so this would still be considered a draft of our script.

Video Assesment Task 3

We finally managed to meet up on the weekend before the assessment was due and film our video, the script and storyboard were both complete so we relied on both of those while filming. We were able to finish recording the whole video so it was good, that way we didn't have to worry about wearing the same clothes, same area to film etc. The videos that we filmed are in different clips and parts, that way the camera won't move too much or we wouldn't have to wait until the next person was ready to talk. First we tried to film it all in one go, but that didn't work so well because either the next person forgot their lines or jumbled up what they were saying and we had to start it all again. After a while we changed to filming it bit-by-bit , this plan worked better than what we were doing previously. During the clips the video camera lost its battery and we had to use the digital camera to film the rest of the video. This meant that we had to use our hands to film instead of keeping it steady on a stand with the video camera. It also meant we had to limit our ability to get good angles of the person talking. Soon we got the filming complete and it meant we were able to relax for the rest of the day. All we have to do for the remainder of this week is edit the clips and put the whole video together complete with other shots of professional games, transitions and some special effects. This would have to be done during out lessons this week or at lunchtimes as there are Windows 7 computers available at the library.

Video Assessment Task 2

For this date: Saturday, June 12, 2010

On the long weekend our group thought of meeting up at vera's house (because she had the camera) and finalize the script so we could continue filming. Me and sangeeta were given the job to do the script while rowena and vera were supposed to do the storyboard. We aimed to mainly focus on our filming rather than the script and storyboard. We also decided to change our plan of how to do make-up to how to play basketball because collecting all the props for the make-up idea would be too much of a hassle. I knew most of the basics for basketball but we also did some reaserch to back up these rules. After meeting up at vera's house for a short while, we wrote most of the script and vera & rowena's jobs are still mainly the same but i was the one to complete the final draft of the script and write it out. We would hope to film next week and get it all done in one day because we didn't like the idea of having to wear the same clothes and film at the same area more every single time. We will have the script & storyboard done by next week so we can commence filming :D

Other parts of the video

This is the song that would be playing in the background in most of the scenes that either show a game or quiet shots or demonstrations.

It's called Kobe Bryant by Lil' Wayne but is edited to suit a time limit of around 2-3 minutes. It was edited on Audacity by me.

Here's the link to listen to the song :)

Here are the lyrics to the song incase you don't understand the words that he speaks.

"OK, Kobe doin' work, Two-four on my shirt

He the greatest on the court and I'm the greatest on the verse

Going for the 4th ring like it was his first Gotta get the bling, do it for Kareem!

Two-four so nice, my flow so mean

Catch me at the game sitting next to Goldstein

Kobe Bryant Nikes, purple gold strings,

Kobe in the game dunking on your team
You know where is goin, its goin down yo,

This is the Lake show, but don't drown though I call him King Bryant, now let the crown show.

Yeah, you better guard me with caution

And watch I work 'em like an auction

No such thing as exhaustion, no time for resting

'Cause I don't take breaks, I just break records, and I prefer the ball with 3 seconds

And I bet we gona win it all in 3 seconds Ya dig? That is a guarantee, apparently

And please tell your defence, don't ever man to man with me

Double team, triple team, your defenders sick of me

But, I never let 'em get to me, literally
Step back and give 'em a three, ain't no defending me.

Call me Mr Clutch or Mr Automatic, I can post 'em up, or Lamar go get the alley

I'm going for the ring, I'm going for the ring

I went to Beijing, and came back with the bling

Who they want? They want Kobe, and what he want? He want the trophy

The victory, and the glory, No Shaq, No Robert Horry

Now break 'em off, Kobe break 'em off

You better be where that Laker don't

Yea, just give him the ball and he take it off

Or he properly dishing it to Gasol, or give it to D-Fish on the wing,
yeah or just let lil' Ariza do his thing, yeah

'Cause I'm great, and so is my team, do it for Magic

It's showtime baby, I see nothing wrong with doing it four times baby

I'm the best yes, and he the best yeah

Don't worry LeBron - get 'em next year

Now what's defence, to an assassin? Killer instinct, murder the basket

Then steal the ball back, hold it for ransom

It's more than a game, this is a passion, been a all-star, been a champion

Free throw line, you hear 'em chanting MVP, MVP

Kobe Bryant aka Envy Me

In knee deep, smash any D

Whoever he is he can't guard me

He can't guard me, KOBE BRYANT! "

There is also certain parts of a youtube video that we wanted to add into our video. We downloaded the video & here it is..

Rules for Basketball

BASKETBALL

RULES:

• Two teams of five players each try to score by shooting a ball through a hoop elevated 10ft above the ground. The game is played on a rectangular floor called the court, and there is a hoop at each end. The court is divided into two main sections by the mid-court line.
• If the offensive team puts the ball into play behind the mid-court line, it has ten seconds to get the ball over the mid-court line. If it doesn't, then the defence gets the ball.
• Once the offensive team gets the ball over the mid-court line, it can no longer have possession of the ball in the area in back of the line. If it does, the defence is awarded the ball.
• The team with the ball is called the offense. The team without the ball is called the defence. They try to steal the ball, contest shots, steal and deflect passes, and garner rebounds.
• When a team makes a basket, they score two points and the ball goes to the other team. If a basket, or field goal, is made outside of the three-point arc, then that basket is worth three points. A free throw is worth one point. Free throws are awarded to a team according to some formats involving the number of fouls committed in a half and/or the type of foul committed.
• Each game is divided into sections. All levels have two halves. In high school and below, the halves are divided into eight (and sometimes, six) minute quarters.
• Each team is assigned a basket or goal to defend. This means that the other basket is their scoring basket. At halftime, the teams switch goals. The game begins with one player from either team at centre court. A referee will toss the ball up between the two. The player that gets hands on the ball will tip it to a teammate. This is called a tip-off. In addition to stealing the ball from an opposing player, there are other ways for a team to get the ball.

FOULS:

o Personal fouls: Personal fouls include any type of illegal physical contact.
• Hitting
• Pushing
• Slapping
• Holding
• Illegal pick/screen -- when an offensive player is moving. When an offensive player sticks out a limb and makes physical contact with a defender in an attempt to block the path of the defender.

o Personal foul penalties: If a player is shooting while a being fouled, then he gets two free throws if his shot doesn't go in, but only one free throw if his shot does go in.
One & one. If the team committing the foul has seven or more fouls in the game, then the player who was fouled is awarded one free throw. If he makes his first shot, then he is awarded another free throw.
Ten or more fouls. If the team committing the foul has ten or more fouls, then the fouled player receives two free throws.

o Charging. An offensive foul that is committed when a player pushes or runs over a defensive player. The ball is given to the team that the foul was committed upon.

o Blocking. Blocking is illegal personal contact resulting from a defender not establishing position in time to prevent an opponent's drive to the basket.

o Flagrant foul. Violent contact with an opponent. This includes hitting, kicking, and punching. This type of foul results in free throws plus the offense retaining possession of the ball after the free throws.

o Intentional foul. When a player makes physical contact with another player with no reasonable effort to steal the ball. It is a judgment call for the officials.

o Technical foul. Technical foul. A player or a coach can commit this type of foul. It does not involve player contact or the ball but is instead about the 'manners' of the game. Foul language, obscenity, obscene gestures, and even arguing can be considered a technical foul, as can technical details regarding filling in the scorebook improperly or dunking during warm-ups.

VIOLATIONS:

Walking/Travelling. Taking more than 'a step and a half' without dribbling the ball is travelling. Moving your pivot foot once you've stopped dribbling is travelling.

Carrying/palming. When a player dribbles the ball with his hand too far to the side of or, sometimes, even under the ball.

Double Dribble. Dribbling the ball with both hands on the ball at the same time or picking up the dribble and then dribbling again is a double dribble.

Held ball. Occasionally, two or more opposing players will gain possession of the ball at the same time. In order to avoid a prolonged and/or violent tussle, the referee stops the action and awards the ball to one team or the other on a rotating basis.

Goaltending. If a defensive player interferes with a shot while it's on the way down toward the basket, while it's on the way up toward the basket after having touched the backboard, or while it's in the cylinder above the rim, it's goaltending and the shot counts. If committed by an offensive player, it's a violation.

Backcourt violation. Once the offense has brought the ball across the mid-court line, they cannot go back across the line during possession. If they do, the ball is awarded to the other team to pass inbounds.

Time restrictions. A player passing the ball inbounds has five seconds to pass the ball. If he does not, then the ball is awarded to the other team. Other time restrictions include the rule that a player cannot have the ball for more than five seconds when being closely guarded and, in some states and levels, shot-clock restrictions requiring a team to attempt a shot within a given time frame.

PLAYER POSITIONS:

Centre. Centres are generally your tallest players. They generally are positioned near the basket.
Offensive -- The centre’s goal is to get open for a pass and to shoot. They are also responsible for blocking defenders, known as picking or screening, to open other players up for driving to the basket for a goal. Centres are expected to get some offensive rebounds and put-backs.
Defensive -- On defence, the centre’s main responsibility is to keep opponents from shooting by blocking shots and passes in the key area. They also are expected to get a lot of rebounds because they're taller.

Forward. Your next tallest players will most likely be your forwards. While a forward may be called upon to play under the hoop, they may also be required to operate in the wings and corner areas.
Offensive -- Forwards are responsible to get free for a pass, take outside shots, drive for goals, and rebound.
Defensive -- Responsibilities include preventing drives to the goal and rebounding.

Guard. These are potentially your shortest players and they should be really good at dribbling fast, seeing the court, and passing. It is their job to bring the ball down the court and set up offensive plays.

Offensive -- Dribbling, passing, and setting up offensive plays are a guard's main responsibilities. They also need to be able to drive to the basket and to shoot from the perimeter.

Defensive -- On defence, a guard is responsible for stealing passes, contesting shots, preventing drives to the hoop, and for boxing out.

Video Assessment Task 1

In this lesson we got told about our video assessment task and the groups we were going to work in. The group i'm in includes:

• Me (Zeenia)
• Sangeeta
• Vera
• Rowena

The assessment task asked us to make a video for "how to" do something, known as instructional. We were also given a time limit to complete it in which is 3-5 minutes. Some ideas that we thought up of were:

• How to make cupcakes
• How to bake a cake
• How to train your dog
• How to get ready for a party
• How to play basketball

The first 2 ideas were Sangeeta's but no one seemed to happy to be doing these. We also agreed that training a dog would be difficult to do without actually knowing how to do it. To get ready for a party meant that we would need many key factors for it, especially the dress, shoes, make-up and a suitable hairstyle. We thought that it would be too hard to find all of these things and then the last idea of how to do basketball was the most simple to complete.
By the end of the week we would hope to finish doing the storyboard and the gantt chart has already been completed by me so in the next post i will upload the gantt chart. Hopefully, by the end of the week we can complete all the major parts of the assessment task and be editing this weekend. We will try and make this video the best we can.

p.s This post was meant for the date of Tuesday May 11 2010.
