The project that
I’m working on is to create a video profile of myself that shows who I am and
what I enjoy doing. First, I plan for my video profile and making a shooting
script, which involves what type of camera shots would be in my video and what
I would say during the video. To achieve this, I watched 3 different video
profiles, so that I have an idea of what my profile can look like, I also
learnt on how to use different equipments such as a tripod and a canon camera
to help me achieve my video profile, what frustrates me is the lack of
equipment where other students are doing the same course and need to use the
cameras and have none left for the other class. After planning our footages, next
was to start filming for my video profile, In order for me to do this I worked
in a group, so I get extra help on my video and used a canon camera, tripod to
record as much footages as I can and gather them altogether in a folder so I
keep my work safe and organized for when I edit them. I was aware of the audio
in my location and decided to choose a quieter place where the camera can pick
up my voice only in the extract, I had no problems doing this as it was easy to
find a quiet place to record. After that, I edit my video and learnt to use
Final Cut Pro on a Apple Mac Computer but instead of using Final Cut Pro I used
Sony Vegas to complete my task because I find it easier for me to use, compared
to Final Cut Pro where I would have to take time getting used to. In my
extract, I added fonts, Images, music and different camera shots to make it
more interesting and more appealing to people, I made sure that the background
music wasn’t interfering with the audio in the extract (E.G my voice) also whilst
editing, I watched my work over again and pick out which bit needs more editing/filming.
Lastly, (task 6) was to do an evaluation by doing this I upload my video and
get other people to watch my video profile and say what I need to improve while
I do the same to their work and give them feedback on what they need to improve
on.
What I learnt most
about myself was that I enjoyed working in groups and helping each other film,
I found out that doing a practical work makes me more motivated and working
with other people helps me to gain confidence because it involves communication
and build better relationships with my group/partners. Group work also allows
me to do some problem solving for example, camera issues, recording for people,
advice on what part should be edited etc. I like editing my own work and doing
it the way that I like it because my work comes out like how I visualized it.
What frustrates me as a learner is when I'm in a group and no one has
finished recording or getting the work done stresses me out that the group
would have to use extra time on filming for that person when it could have been
used for our editing sessions. I hope in the future this won't stop me from
doing my work, In order for me to do this I’ll learn to know exactly when the
deadline is, so I can finish my work on time. To be an effective learner, I will
work independently and expand on my IT skills including learning how to use
Final Cut Pro instead of doing my work at home using Sony Vegas.
