STEP 2: (Middle of movie making process)
Keeping to our original plan of online dating prevention was difficult, as all the content we were finding seemed to reflect a witty approach, so we changed our concept slightly, by keeping with the idea of online dating, but making fun of the concept instead of seriously addressing the issue. We also decided to base our movie on clips from YouTube and written conversations between dating online couples.
However, the next problem we had to face was the issue of copyright. Taking YouTube clips that are licensed, and making out own film out of these clips, is essentially illegal, therefore we had to find a solution to work around this issue. We also had to find software that was going to allow us to create this film.
To avoid copyright, we decided the simplest way would be to adopt the software ‘Prezi’, which was free, downloaded from the net. The software overrides the issue of copyright, and creates a ‘movie’ like presentation. Group member Shannen took the reins of using ‘Prezi’.
Instead of having a story line to the movie, we wanted a collaboration of different online dating disasters, and online dating rules of what not to do. So, our next step was to find content. And having ‘Prezi’ certainly gave us a broader use of the internet.
