Week 2 start our work on blog proposal and group leader divide task to us to do our own part task and finding related information write on the blog. Until week 4 had submit our proposal project to lecture for initial approach. Then on week 5 and 6, we do part of proposal design and write it on blog and doing continually next progress of proposal. Week 7 and 8, we are creating a website and doing the design using photoshop of the pictures; dreamweaver creating website; after effects creating the flash video (flx) and after that process it by flash. We design it well as what lecture require. Week 10, submitted to lecture and check our blog. But yet to achieve what had lecture want. So, lecture giving us more time to redo the part until week 12. Lastly, week 13, we have to submit the whole website, group report and individual report to our tutorial’s group leader and tutorial’s group leader will submit it to the lecture.


Group meeting
By doing this project, we also conducted few meeting through face-to-face meeting, meeting through MSN and facebook group too. During this meeting, we have discussed few matters such as provide some ideas how we design a creative website, what information we should put into the website and other.
For the 1st meeting, location is in the library; we are discussing about the blog update and work division. We are design the story board and divide the individual task for each member.
In the 2nd meeting which is online meeting via facebook, is because of the blog is no meet the requirement of lecturer, so we need to redo it. The problem is we need to create the new pages for each group members and update again the blog that we are updated wrongly previously in our own blog, not group blog.
In the 3rd meeting, the place is in one of our group member’s house, we are discussing about the shooting problem with green background wall, and the actor’s line.  We are facing the place problem and we come out the idea which is using the green paper to stick at the wall be our background and use the adobe after effects to edit it before process in adobe flash. Besides that, we also facing the software installation problem, because adobe after effects is required window 7 64 bits but all of us is using 32 bits, so we need to reformat 1 of the group member computer and finally we are success to install and complete the work by using adobe after effect.
When faced some problem, we also will conducted a meeting and try to find out the solution to solve it. For example, after our lecture, Dr. Ken had checked our group blog and give an assessment to out blog, and we found out there have something that we didn’t put into the blog and found out the grade is not good for us. For this situation, we find out the solution to solve it after conducted the meeting.

Work in Process

For the flash, we had used some software to solve it,

1st - Adobe Media Encoder
2nd - Adobe After Effects
3rd - Adobe Flash

Step 1 - We use the Adobe Media Encoder to convert the MP4 to F4V to use in Adobe After Effects.

 Step 2 - Use the F4V file in Adobe After Effects, and rotate it and re-size it.
 Step 3 - Use the "Colour Range Keying" to remove the green background, and make it transparent.


 After edit it, export the file to XFL.

 Step 4 - Use Adobe Flash to edit it, copy the background video into the flash. We also added the word and make it 3D.

- Done -

After that, we going to use the Adobe Dreamweaver to design the website and add the flash in our own main page.
