First Meeting

Minutes - All members present


There are 4 members in our group: Leanne Goddard, Lydia Bell, Scott Laird and Daniel Runeckles.

We have all joined and followed the group blog with each of our pages associated with the group page.


Summary:
  • For the first meeting, we have all established some basic ideas about what all of our intentions/plans are for the next few weeks.
  • We have began by everyone commencing their own individual research into Pearl Harbor so that we all have a decent knowledge of what happened. 
  • We are all going to do two types of research: the facts and the conspiracy theories/opinions. Once we have distinguished the difference between fact and opinion we will decide what approach we would like to take on the animation.
  • We have also discussed everyone's strengths which shall allow us to allocate tasks more efficiently to the most capable person. Strengths are as follows:
  1. Leanne - Good attention to detail, particularly in modelling.
  2. Lydia - Detailed animation, particularly thorough work is produced.
  3. Scott - Detailed animation, particularly evironments and its content. 
  4. Daniel -  Good creative visualisation during the modelling stage.

For next week:
Over the next week, we are going to continue our thorough research into Pearl Harbor, including:
  • Facts about the attack - date, time, deaths etc.
  • Conspiracy theories - different opinions etc.
  • Scenery - before and after the attack.
  • Events leading up to the attack.
  • What happened after the attack - repurcussions.
  • What the ships, planes etc. looked like in this time era.
We are all going to research these particular areas and then come together next week and show our findings. As we are al researching similar areas, we can ensure that the accuracy of our information is 100% correct.

Next week, we will begin to assign individual tasks and come up with a timescale for the project.
