Multimedia and Video Technology

I am currently working with a group of four students to create a Public Service Announcement, our project for EDLD 5363.  The four of us are from different parts of the state, and meetings are all online.  Matt, Amy, Brittany and I have collaborated to create a PSA to address the Danger of Cyber Bullying. Our focus audience is parents of teens who need to be aware of what cyber bullying is and how to help their children avoid or deal with cyber bullies. 
Within the first week, or pre-production phase, Matt created a wiki for us to use in collaboration.  With pages for proposals, scripts, shot list, and voice over, we began to share ideas.  By the end of the week, we realized the need for more immediate communication and set up a time to meet with either google voice and video or tiny chat. We had 3 similar proposals and needed to streamline our efforts in order to progress to the production phase and take on job responsibilities.  The meeting was a success, and the script was selected, along with assignments for video, script writing/editing, audio, and final edits. 
This has been a tremendous learning experience in collaborating - long distance, problem-solving, and working as a team in creating a project.
