Technical description four and five

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 video sharing website where users can upload, view and share video clips. Unregistered users can watch most videos on the site, while registered users are permitted to upload an unlimited number of videos. Related videos, determined by title and tags, appear onscreen to the right of a given video. Users can post video 'responses' and subscribe to content feeds (wikipedia, 2008).

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. As a group we sat down and brainstormed ideas of what we wanted in our film, and how we’d do it. We then chose what each shot would contain and in what order, and wrote it on our storyboard. We then went off to take the shots for our film, and the storyboard really helped us to keep focused on what we were doing and the overall goal, we could quickly get from place to place and get the photos/video’s we needed by checking the storyboard and what came next.
