Tutorial Four and Five: Video Production Sessions

Task One: Follow instructions and work in a small group to plan and produce and edit a 30 second short.

Task Two: Set up a U Tube account

Task Three: Follow instructions to posting your video on U Tube.

Task Four (Blog Posting): Provide a brief summary of the services offered by U Tube. Information can be drawn from the week five tutorial hand out. Youtube is a website where users can upload, view and share videos. Giving us all an opportunity to unleash our creative genius and empowering people to become "broadcasters of tomorrow". Being registered on youtube means that you can upload, watch and share all videos, whereas being unregistered limits users to only watching videos and this may be restricted depending on content. Youtube was purchased by google in 2006 and is a nonprofit website

Task Five (Blog Posting): Provide a brief account (1-2 paragraphs) on how the use of planning (storyboarding and scripting aided your groups short film. When we were told that we would be going out to make a 30 second film the first thing we did was brainstorm using our storyboard sheet. The benefit of having this as a tool was that it meant we were all able to get a good idea of what we wanted from our film and what we wanted collectively as a group. This in turn meant that when we started on our voyage to capture the changing weather and the autumn leaves we knew exactly what we wanted and exactly where to go to get the footage. Using the storyboard also meant that it wasn't set in stone and that we could change things around in editing, which was good because we soon found out that some of the shots we envisioned were not going to happen.
