Hi there,
On the 11th of March we learnt all about video production and video cameras. Our lecturer gave us a task of making a short 30 second film that would show footage of various objects, people and places that begin with a certain letter. Our groups letter was F. We had a lot of fun finding and coming up with ideas of different things that we could film. This task gave us the opportunity to become more familiar and confident with using a camera. We also learnt how important it is to use a tripod as the quality of the film is significantly affected when you don't use one! ---> (shaky film does distract the audience from the actual footage you are trying to capture!) We then spent the last part of class coming up with ideas for the next film we were to make and designing the storyboard for it. Its theme is about overcoming adversities. Making the storyboard before filming was very helpful as we had a clear understanding of what shots we needed to take exactly. We could also see where our project is going and if the series of shots work successfully to deliver our overall message.
Our group ended up making a video on overcoming the adversity of what to do when people push in line. A group of us are standing by the microwave in a queue waiting to heat our food when suddenly an impatient perpetrator pushes in. The challenge is overcome when the victim fights back. Here it is, enjoy :)

Hi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteIf you go into Postings and make a new post, there should be a whole row of icons at the top. One of them is a movie cutter symbol and says 'Insert a video' when you hover over it. Click it and browse for where you saved the video on your computer. It should then load onto that posting ;)
Goodluck!
