Creative Process
For this project, we had to create a video showing how to print a document. We were paired up with a partner. First, we drew a story board outlining what we wanted to be in our video. Next, we took photos of ourselves acting out the outline that we drew. Then, we went back and took videos of us acting out the scene.
Roles
My role in this project was the camera operator. I recorded all of the videos for the scene. I learned how to keep the camera steady and how to not wash out my video with background light. We used ipads to record the videos and Adobe Premier Pro to edit them. I had to use technical skills to operate the camera and edit the videos. As partners, we has to communicate and work together as a team in order to get our ideas across to each other. We demonstrated leadership by acting as directors and keeping each other on track and focused. Finally, we used project management when we decided what ideas to use and where we would film.
Conclusions
If I were to do this project again, I would change the location of the scene because lots of groups were filming in the library at the same time and it was a bit crowded. I would keep the actions of the scene the same because they demonstrate how to properly print a document, which is what we were trying to show with this video. In my next project I will now be able to keep the camera steady and navigate using Adobe Premier Pro. I enjoyed this project because it was a good way to learn how to use proper shots, terms, equipment, and it gave me a chance to get to know a few people.
