Editing the video for my major project

-

 I filmed my self asking question about media and the pandemic. Then I transferred the videos from my SD card using a type C adaptor to my Mac book.

I collected all my videos on iMovie and I started editing the clips together.


Putting this video together has proven a little challenge because I had a lot of content and I needed to stay in my time limit, so I had to cut a lot of the scenes out. I achieved that by splitting the clips and then deleting what I though was not necessary to include in the video

First of all I selected the camera stabilisation feature so that the footage I included when I asked the questions was not shaky so the viewer could focus to the answers and the footage would look more professional and not tiring.


Then I selected the music I had for this part of the video and I decreased its volume in order to make it act like background noise and not gain all the attention.


I added text before the answer by drag and dropping them from the tool bar above

To add videos that were included to my research through the internet I copied their urls and convert them using YouTube to mp4 site on google chrome.



Then I started editing the clips ones I added them into the video so that I would keep the parts I wanted.


Afterwards for the parts of the video I was talking I recorded them using the voice recorder on my phone and my Kraken Pro Razer headset. Afterwards I emailed the voice recordings through the email I created in week 1 of the module.


Then I added the small recordings after I cropped out the parts I did not use and drag and drop them below the footage but above the background music.


Links to the videos I used: 
Cypriot News
BBC news
BBC news 2
Racism
Asian man attacked
Asian American face racism
One world
                                           

In the end I added a transition so that the video would slowly fade and come to harmonious end.

Reflection: Working on my major project was a great experience and something that helped me try out new things. I would want to put more time into filming it but due to the fact that the government issued a lockdown I was not able to film all the things I wanted. Still I hope that everyone will enjoy it.

    You have published very little work this week. Please remember that the blog needs to show your project development, further research, and your website development/feedback etc. Make sure you are on top of this work and are adding posts to show all of this. You need to discuss the editing process here in more detail. What digital tools and techniques did you use?

Social media have a large impact on how the world around as is shaping and evolving and that is something I want to discuss on my major project. I believe that with my current knowledge on video editing, filmmaking and time management skills I can achieve a good result for my major project.By using friends as actors in the time given I can write a small script that will be easy to execute and be achievable in the time given.I will be using iMovie to edit my video because it is a program that is easily accessible on the type of software I am using.

About Me page on my website

  About me page: I wrote a small paragraph discussing who I am, what I am doing now and what are my intentions for the future. Also I included some information about my educational background but also my experience in my field of study. I have been experimenting with the tool bar to edit how my text is being presented to the viewer and did some adaptions to my written text. Furthermore I changed the background to the one with the New York skyline so my Welcome page and the page about me can be related as the pages to introduce and talk about me. Afterwards I added a professional picture of me taken at Bristol UK. I made sure that I chose a picture that makes me look confident in order to appeal more to my viewer that I am a student with passion and certainty. In order for the "About me" page to be relevant to the other pages I changed the background and changed the font of the letters. The background is a video footage that I took last year on a Christmas market at the centre...

  As a session practical exercise we had to brainstorm 20 ideas in 20 minutes It is important that when an artist is generating ideas, he should present a variety of topics  I finished the 20 ideas afterwards and here are the final ideas. Lets go through them together: All the ideas from number one to number seven are Covid-19 related. All this ideas are various things that I think could make a compelling video idea.The other ideas are fun little experiments I want to make. For example ideas like the one with the animated character in real life and the called "Small things that we all do and nobody admits" are some fun concepts for small videos.In this mix there are also some topics that I think can be discussed on a 5 minute long video filled with graphs and examples.This kind of ideas were " The false idea about video games", "Why animals do not have wheels?", "The electricity War" and "The evolution of species".
