This week's assignment proved to be challenging due to my lack of knowledge in creating and blending videos together (as well as not understanding videography lingo such a B-roll). The first time I tried to record I used my phone, and I really struggled with having someone record me (I can public speak for children all day long but putting me in front of a camera held by an adult made me so giggly). So, I had to trash my first product and think about a solution.
I remembered that the technology teacher at my school helps the students record a newscast video every day, so I turned to her for some advice. She allowed me to use the video camera that the students use to record the daily news with (it came with a tripod). That really helped with not having to record on my phone while giggling at the teacher recording me. I was able to record an intro clip, B-roll clip, and an outro clip. Then all I had to do was slide the memory card into my computer!
I used iMovie to crop and blend my clips together. iMovie made it simple to add unique transitions, voiceovers, and music. I was excited and a little bit nervous about this video, but I had a lot of fun creating it. Next time, I will try to be a little more relaxed in front of the camera. I wrote a script for myself but it sounds like I am talking a little too quickly on the videos. I noticed that my voice is so much calmer in the voiceovers so I suppose I need to get over my camera shyness! I would also like to research about how to ensure that the quality of my footage is better (the beginning of my video looks semi-blurry to me, but then it clears itself up).
I hope you enjoy my video!
