The book my partner and I have created is a short, rhyming story that uses lyrical writing and colorful, sharp images to present a confusing and uncomfortable topic to kids in a way that is easier to analyze. Children can often be some of the most open-minded individuals out there, which is why it is so important that they start to explore challenging topics at a young age. By exposing young children to such things early on, we are saving them a lot of confusion later on and paving the way for them to start forming their own ideas and opinions. We wanted to create a story in which a child could question the actions of the characters, and by beginning to question, want to explore and learn more. After the story was written and formatted, the images were planned out by page and painted with acrylics. The images were then photographed and brought into Photoshop so the colors could be altered to match a common palette.
We were tasked to make a short, honest film about the NuVu experience to and share all of the memories that come with it. The film includes interviews with staff and students and has footage of the studios in action. The point of the film is to go in depth, from the coaches and students perspectives, on what NuVu is and what there is to learn about from others experiences. On Monday and Tuesday, we started by thinking of questions to ask people. Then, we interviewed students and coaches currently attending NuVu. On Wednesday, we continued working on the interviews and started shooting B-Roll. On Thursday, we edited the movie and got some final shots. On Friday, we made a rough draft of the movie, and on Tuesday we finished the movie by adding the final touches.
