This last week and a half, I have been working on a video about an ONW procedure. The video wwe were supposed to create was one about a procedure that we as students are supposed to follow. Right off the bat I knew I wanted to create a video that was different from everyone else', so my partner and I though of how we are supposed to walk in the halls.
During story boarding, my partner and I came up with a few concepts of how we wanted our video to turn out. We decided on two ideas, do not stop in the hallways and do not walk slow. During the editing process, I went with the first idea because it fit within our 30 second restraint. While we were filming, we tried to get as many shots as we could, and tried to get more faces in our video.
Since this was our video project of the year, I had to get back into the groove of deadlines and production. Along with this new year, we started using a new video editing program, Premiere Pro, which was difficult because I was totally unfamiliar with it, and I am still exploring it. I also learned how to work with difficulties, because during the first two days of filming, we had limited equipment, so I had to learn how to work through that in order to meet the deadline.
What I would do different is spend a little more time mapping out shots, because by the time we got to editing, I realized we really need more shots and closeups in order to complete the video and give it a beginning, middle, and end. One thing I really liked while creating this video was editing, I loved working with the colors and the text overlay. Next video, I will make sure to map out what I want the final video to look like while story boarding.
Overall, I really enjoyed making this video and I think it was a good starter project for the rest of the year. I am excited to see what else I will learn and create.
