Our group began working on the storyboard for our project. Before we began we had a Google Hangout to establish what we were hoping to accomplish and what direction we wanted to head in. When we began discussing, we established that we were trying to make the project to detailed. So what we ended up doing was breaking down the project into a more manageable tutorial about how to use twitter...just the basics. This was very helpful because we were able to really nail down what each person was going to do. To help with the storyboard sketches, we placed screenshots of helpful moments in the twitter process. While Cindy was able to use the actual Twitter set up for hers, I was able to find some examples of how to retweet or send a DM. These simple screenshots are now used as a basis for what direction we want our presentation to be. We also discussed the use of integrating some live elements into the presentation. For example, we would screencast the actual setting up of a twitter. This would make the presentation easier to follow.
After we completed our individual parts of the storyboard, we had another hangout discussing the breakdown of the project. One idea we came up with was to have 2 people work on the creation of the presentation file. This will allow multiple people to have an input on creative elements that are going into the project. This now leaves one person to work on the script and actual recording of the presentation. Once this is done, we can all have an hand in publishing the final product. We will all be able to proof and provide input for the overall project. By completing the final screencast this way, everybody has an important role and no one role is more important than the other. This method aslo allows us to each contribute to the final cast and not have one person doing all the work. The program we have discussed using to capture the screencast is Jing. Jing is something we are all familiar with, so we wouldn't have to learn a new system while completing a major assignment.
