Team Roles

The final project will be a really interesting experience as we are making a 5-7 minute video of the emerald ash borer and it's effect on the community adding on a quiz at the end. With the target audience being elementary school kids, we are filming scenes of trees in the park and locating ash trees to show how to correctly identify them, so we are going to have audio, film, animation, coding, and graphic work through the video.

Mike----is doing the research on Ash trees and Emerald Ash Borers for the project and he is also going to do the narration of the video as well as doing the audio as well. He was able to find an animation for us to incorporate into the video too!

Paige----is working on the quiz at the end of the video with her experience in coding, we have decided to make the quiz on the website instead of putting it in the video itself.

Stephanie----is the organizer of all the group needs and is scouting locations for filming as well as doing some graphic work as well.

Brad----is filming the scenes, as well as assisting in equipment rental and graphics. He will also team up with Nan to edit the video.

Nan---is assisting in editing the video as well as aiding Paige in the coding of the quiz. She is also helping us film too.

Blake----I am the project leader and I am filming, doing graphic work, and doing storyboards for the video. Also I am leading the flow of conversation during discussions and planning.

Having spent the past 5 weeks figuring out who we are as team members has made the deciding of roles very simple. We all talked about what our strong attributes were and decided that was the best way to assign tasks. Everyone is helping in more ways than one area on this project, which is nice because it'll be an equal share of workload and we all will have experience in all stages of the process.

The storyboards are pretty much done and the next thing we have left to do is to rent the equipment and go out to parks and film trees and locate them! It'll be a great end of the semester!
