First Day 31.07.2012.
We had our first day in the „Snap It, Tape It, Lets Talk About It“ project so basically we met everyone and got to know them better. We did a lot of games together so that we became a team.
After lunch we had two sessions – one about photography and one about video editing and we have learned some new and interesting stuff like basic photography knowledge and some programs and and effects in video editing.
But definitely the most useful things fore me (Madlen) was the paper tower that we had to do in the morning while we were having a competition.
So if you wanna know know and see more continue to follow the posts of our new friends and check out the photos we have made.
Second Day 01.08.2012
Starting the day with energizers and getting everybody on their legs we were ready to listen, learn and share our knowledge concerning the topic “types of communication”. Through interesting games we used different types of communication so as to point that the most important is the will to communicate.
In the afternoon session, the photography group went downtown and they had the opportunity to shoot creative photos of people in nature, and some beautiful sightseeing’s of Nis. The trainer helped them to build up the concept related to the main topic of the training and some technical skills.
On the other hand, the video group stayed at the hotel to shoot videos and edit them so as to make movie using power director and work on the editing skills. Mainly, it was an exercise through witch trainer watched to show us the idea of promoting something so as to be able in further exercises and in the final movie to promote intercultural dialogue.
Third Day 02.08.2012.
The energizers are great and they get us much closer. The photo-shoot we took yesterday was awesome and it felt very professional. Everybody had their own ideas and everybody listened to each other. We finished our video and it was great. The best part was when we watched it after.
Intercultural night:
It was interesting, tasting different cuisines, traditional dances…Even though we are all from different countries this intercultural night made us as a one big family.
Now we are very curious about what is going to happen in the next days.:)
Fourth Day 03.08.2012.
Yesterday was an interesting day. It started with usual activity- making of Facebook profile. After that, we had a workshop on discrimination and minority groups, during which we discussed the topic. The second part of the day passed in a relaxed atmosphere. Photo group has continued with their work … shooting, then the selection of the best photos, and at the end they started to work in a photo shop…. While another group wrote the scenario for the final video and began shooting scenes.
Anyhow, we spent a creative and interesting afternoon
Fifth Day 04.08.2012.
Yesterday was the second day of shooting the video. We had most of the scenes done from the previous day, so the atmosphere was more relaxed. We also started to assemble the pieces of our product and it was awesome how good it was.
The last touches we leave for tomorrow when we are going to add transitions, effects and other video techniques. With the time spend on the video our team gets more and more cohesive and we are having a lot of fun.
Despite our different ideas we are satisfied with how the product develops and we are looking forward to see the final result.
Sixth Day 05.08.2012.
After the great breakfast we started with preparing all stuffs for exhibition. Video group worked on final edition on their video and photo group was choosing their photos.
We had lunch at the pizzeria and pizza was excellent. Then we went back to hotel and revealed our secret friends, it was so funny. After that we set up our photography exhibition in city near Kalca. Everything was nice we had nice music, good photographs. We can say that exhibition was successful, because a lot of people stop to see our photographs and they wanted to know all about our project.
At the evening we went at nice club in the fortress and had a great night there.
