Team Collaboration:
This week has been a little more challenging than last week;
it has taken revision after revision of our first script draft. We are facing
the challenge of what else can we omit from our script and video clips to meet
the 90 second time limit. I never taught it would take so much time to revise
and edit our proposed script. I think that the most difficult part of this week’s
assignment is definitely the time limit, it is a challenge to present so much
in such short amount of time. Team collaboration has been wonderful; everyday
everyone has had tremendous input and incredible ideas on how to perfect the script,
narration, and ultimately the video.
Readings:
This week’s readings were extremely informative; each section
of the Audacity readings provided me with new information about recording and how
to edit the recordings. The assigned reading about Guidelines for Shooting Quality
Video was the one that I personally found more interesting because I really don’t
know much about filming a video. I was glad to read the 10 shooting tips that
were features in this set of guidelines. I really liked the way that each tip
was presented and how I was provided with a reason for considering each of the
tips during filming. I specifically liked the first and third tips “Avoid
Zooming In and Out Too Much” and “Where Are You?” I had never considered what
the viewer would experience while watching a video if the scene kept on
transitioning with a zoom in or out effect, I also realized that “Where Are
You?” effect during film is very powerful in communicating something to the
viewer without having to state it in the film, a quick view of a specific
landmark immediately provides the viewer with the ability to recognize where
the film is taking place.
