Diary: draft

The project has been carefully done following specific steps from January to March where it was submitted.

-Firstly, the coursework instructions have been read carefully in order to select the assignement. Once that "making a video" has been selected, it was possible to move to the next step.

-Secondly, the story has been drafted on paper. Once that the story have been more or less defined, it was necessary to create the characters, defining their personality, their motivation... Then it was important to define the location of the story and the context.

-Thirdly, the next step was to reproduce that story for a video: telling the story with images and not words. It was the time when the storyboard was produced.

-Once the storyboard was produced, the multimedia designer task was to decide which tools using to produce the final video from that storyboard: a list of ressources needed has been created.

-Then the next stage was the actual production: shooting the movie.

-After that the movie was shot, the video was captured and edited in the post production stage.

-Once that preliminary steps have been achieved the compositing has started:
producing 3D actors and adding special effects in order to make them fit and look as if they was part of the virtual world presented in the video.

-Finally, the last step was to add the audio and encode the resulting video.


This overall diary draft will be now presented in details with the perspective to show the regular progress, the difficulties encountered and how they were fixed.
