Year 12 camp DVD!
ISUUE: Every year Carmel College takes all year 12 students to a weeklong camp in National Park. The students do lots of activities in subjects such as Biology, History and English. They also tramp the Tongariro crossing (weather permitting). Thorough out the week students and teachers will take photos and videos of the activities. Mrs DiCesare, the camp leader wants you to produce a DVD to commemorate the camp. The DVD will be sold to year 12 students.

Because every year Mrs. DiCesare wants a cam DVD that commemorates the value of the camp and the experiences that have been made and for the students to buy and to remember the good times at Carmel College.

CONSIDERATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS:

v Your skills and expertise:
Movie maker: is what I will be using to create the project DVD. It will bring the photos, videos and my choice of music together to produce this.

Toast: will be used to the burn the DVD for all the students, parents, and staff etc.

Photoshop: I will use this to crop and Photoshop the pictures to suit my DVD choice of how it is put together.

v Your budget:
DVD disc: depending on how big I want my movie to be depends on the amount of megabytes the DVD will take up and from then it will give the cost to get the right blank disc for it.

Case: to purchase a case for 120 students/people will be easily done as the $2 shop can produce them as little as under as a $5 budget.

Printing: I will need to use a full colour ink cartridge to produce the printing on the CD which depends on the printer and the cost of ink cartridges to go in it. The price will be under $50.

v Your time:
My time will be used in a Gantt chart, which will illustrate my project schedule. It will keep track of my time and show me where I am at with the project.

Year 12’s, teachers and parents


Mrs. DiCesare is my main stakeholder
