Week 2 The Plan

Week 2 : Everyone is present.

The work that we had to do over the week to bring in was simply to bring in ideas for the story board and the general theme of the project video.


We first had a group discussion over the theme of the story ideas such as

• What kind of video will it be e.g factual,video documenty, action,comedy 
• How will we show this in the video
• what kind of facts will we use
• who`s  side are we depicting Japanese or American

This is the idea that came up in discussion

• To create a video documenty 
• We will need key facts of the day 
• facts will be needed e.g dates, times, how many planes and ships
• will definitely need a ship sinking
• will need a narrative id documentary
