Week 8 - Tutorial Task

This week our group wrote the script for our short video and later in the week we meet up to shot our video. In the script we decided to have the interview in sections. First we had the reporter interview the spokes person from apple, then have the reporter go on site to interview the “lucky winner” of the iPhone.

We had to work out who was the reporter (Ara Jeong), the spokes person form Apple (me) and the lucky winner (Nils Wiiburg). We also came up with the name for the new iPhone; it’s called the iPhone iFriend. This is the scrip for the short video:

The cast was:

(J) Spokes person form apple – Jasmine Copper

(R) Reporter – Melisa Grey

(B) Lucky winner – Brad

(I) iPhone iFriend

(S) Sam – Jasmine Coppers iPhone iFriend

In studio:

R: Hi, welcome to New Com. Tech. News. I am Melissa Gray. Today with us spokes person from Apple, welcome, Jasmine Cooper.

J: Thanks for having me, Melissa.

R: What are you going to introduce to us now, about the new iPhone?

J: Well, the new iPhone iFriend will change the way we use phones and table devices. The iPhone iFriend has new technology that allows people to communicate not only with friends and family but with the actual phone. Each iPhone iFriend has a chip inserted that enables it to have a personality.

R: A real personality?

J: Yes. Each individual phone has a personality that you can change using the iFreind app. Each phone can source information from the net simply by asking it. This phone will actually talk to you as your own friends and family would and give you a great emotional and informative advice. This is my iPhone iFriend, Sam. Sam helps me with organizing my work schedule; keeping me up with all the news and even helping me find recipes to cook dinner for my family. Say hi Sam.

S: hi, how are you?

R: Now we are going to look at one of the lucky volunteers that won the chance to use the new iPhone iFriend for a whole week, to see what his opinion was.

On site:

Voice over: This is Brad Wilson. He is 20 year old uni student, majoring in Communications.

R: There was a competition that was held by Apple to win the chance of using the new iPhone iFriend for a week. This was created to get the opinions of different types of people and to find out whether or not this would be a popular new device.

B: Yes, I won the opportunity to use the new phone. I love the way I can change the personality and have intellectual conversations with the phone. If I am stuck on an assessment, the iPhone helps me find right references. Even if I am having girl problems, it will give me good advice on what to do. Watch!

B: What should I do??? I went on a date with this girl named Laura. I thought we had a great time together. I tried to call her next morning to plan another romantic date. She would not answer. I have tried to call her for the last 8 days and still no reply... Do you think she is sick or she is not that into me?????? What should I do???

I: Forget about her. Pull yourself together man! Obviously she doesn’t like you. You need to move on a.s.a.p. Research shows that if a girl doesn’t answer your calls within the first three days, she doesn’t like you.

R: So would you buy the new iPhone iFriend? Email us with your answers at NCT@news.com or follow us on Facebook or Twitter.

After writing the script, a couple of days later we met up to film our video. We decided we wanted to shot somewhere that had a colourful wall so it looked like we were in a news studio. We found a bright red wall in block G31 downstairs. So we first shot the reporter and the spokes person from Apple. Then we headed out the front of G31 near the bridge for our second shots. With the reporter and the lucky winner. It took us approximately 30minutes to shot the video. We decided to meet up one hour before class to edit the video.
