Fake News central
Hey i'm back again this time doing a project
on fake news today and in the past hope you enjoy.
First
of all i had to pick a mission there where several missions that where semi
interesting but digital journalism seemed like the one i could play around with
the most.After establishing what mission i was doing i started looking for a
team we where now able to go with anyone in the class and not just our groups
but i still decided to go with people in my class since i knew what they where
like.Justin joined me first and shortly after Eddie joined us.
We
began planning what we where going to do as we didn't want to just do the same
thing as the sheet we came up together either the idea of fake news. Taking
into account what Shaun said in the lecture about recording a power point and
learning from previous projects on how bland the where we had to come up with a
video idea that was informative and interesting to watch. I suggested that we
use the likes of "Wendover productions" and "half as
interesting" (both YouTube channels owned by the same guy)style of video
essay as his video essays are fun to watch and informative.
We
also decided that we would make several social media accounts under a fake news
network to spread some fake news we where going to make. we decided to call it
the Vibe News network due to a meme going around that all of us found funny.I
made the email, set up the Facebook account, set up the twitter account, and
tried to set up a Instagram account but it was not working so i decided to just
leave it.
Justin
then took over the Facebook account and was to run the twitter. Eddie made a
logo and a banner for both Facebook and Twitter which was of a excellent
quality. Justin and I then began making fake articles on Photoshop copying BBC
and other online news networks this lasted a few days until me and Eddie met up
in a lab and he had an idea to make a website for the articles so we would not
have to use Photoshop. He made the in the lab using Wix while I though of
articles to write here is a link too the website for those interesting https://thevibe202.wixsite.com/thevibe .
that
same day while looking for fake news articles today and in the past i found a
website with an A.I that could write realistic fake news stories in a article
manner it is called Grover.ai and is ran by the U.S government. I then used
this A.I to make the fake news articles simply putting in a title and it
creating a article around it. I also got some images from the web to put them
in the article. I then deleted the Photoshop articles off of Twitter and
instead put up the new articles of of Wix.
I
then found some news articles on the first fake news article and some on modern
ones that where deceitful I then recorded my part of the video and sent the
creation of the article recording to Eddie.
When
I had all the recordings for the first part of the video I uploaded them to a
shared drive on the shared vibe network email.
Justin
Eddie and I would then meet up on in school to edit the video together so we
have the same sense of editing and there is a coherence in all our footage. we
edited our parts separately and the put them on the drive to be stuck together
and any other changes made. When we stuck all our parts together we decided to
record our audio. we borrowed our friends laptop and plugged in my mic and
recorded on the corridor. When we where finished we put in our audio and put in
a backing track and leveled the audio. and exported the video.
