Assignment 3: First ideas first

We have to present a storyboard for the Ken Burns video that we would have to present after the mid semester break. There is one to be done for each CNM and NUS. It should be like a promotional video and thus must reflect some good parts about NUS/CNM.

My idea for the CNM started from the slogan that I thought up while looking at the 3 alphabets. Like the past few slogans that I have created for CNM freshmen camp and events like that, I like to use the 3 alphabets to create a slogan.

"Creating and Moulding"

That was what I wanted as my slogan. So what could CNM be moulding and creating?

"Creating aNd Moulding your Future"

This came up to mind and I thought it was a good slogan to work on. Thus, based on the idea of moulding, I came up with this idea of CNM moulding us from a little clay ball into a clay doll ( that is more 'in shape' to work in society )

This can also reflect how we, as freshmen, came into NUS without knowing a thing, and through our major, Communications and New Media, we are moulded into people that can stand for themselves in the media industry.

So instead of using various transitions, the bulk of the video would be based on the immense amount of work done by taking a lot of photographs and even making props.

This is the storyboard for the CNM Ken Burns video.



Then for the NUS video, I want to base it on another form of wordplay by using the alphabets 'NUS' to replace nouns that end with '-ness'. I wanted to use words like colourfulness to describe the colourful culture, 'conduciveness' to describe the facilities that NUS have.

For this, I would need to use a software like Adobe Premiere Pro to create good transitions so that the video would look impressive. The choice of font for the text is also important.

I guess for the NUS video, there is nothing much to talk about until the final product is out.

So look forward to it.
