Methodology

FIRST MEETING & BRAINSTORMING:

  August 29, 2011:  Third Year and Fourth Year students met up with  Mrs. Ritchelle   Blanco Dejolde, a Master Teacher in English, to discuss the focus in the school's entry to the DPSA Anong Kwento Mo Contest.

                                     It was a surprise to see non-ICT major students who were interested  to join Mrs. Dejolde ( fondly called by students as Ma'am Sky), but she took it as a new challenge to mobilize those who have genuine interest in using computer technology and social networking on the internet.  

TASK BUILDING:  

After trimming down the size of the team (INCAT Natan-ok), each member was given a specific task to avoid confusion. These assigned tasks can be viewed in our Team Profile page.

RESEARCH:

Aside from getting information at I-Hub ( Provincial Library), INCAT Natan-ok interviewed resource persons like the museum curators, travelled to the different hometowns of our chosen Ilocanos considered as "natan-ok", took pictures  of tangible materials or  possessions and recorded footages of the research process. The team also did web research.  

TOOLS:

FOR VIDEOS, the first gadget we had was lent to us by Mr. Eugenio P. Pedro, Vocational Superintendent 1.  It's a Sony video camera.  Other gadgets were brought by the team members themselves. For sharper shoots and results, a Nikon D300 and another Sony Video camera were used.

FOR STILL PICTURES, Canon 1000D and NikonD3000 were used.
FOR EDITING PICTURES, the team utilized 3 versions of Adobe Photoshop.

MOVIE PRODUCTION:

INCAT Natan-ok members used Sony Vegas Pro 9 and 10. For other effects, Adobe Flash Professional was a big help.
