For this project, our group decided to make our video over the process of getting an elevator key at ONW when you are injured. Before we started filming our video, we had to complete multiple different tasks during Pre-Production. One of these processes was storyboarding. During storyboarding, we sketched out what we wanted to show during each shot as well as the camera angles. We also wrote out a script for what we would be showing and then we assigned different roles for the video itself. We also went through a few more planning processes before we started the filming process.
Our group decided to film multiple close ups of different actions first. We then moved in to our other shots, where we showed where and how to get an elevator key as well as how to use it. When we combined our close ups with our more wide shots, it created a good variety of shots that complimented each other well. We had a few growing pains along the way, but we eventually got all the shots we needed. Once we had exported our videos to our computers, we started the editing process. This mainly consisted of sequencing and cutting our shots so they would fit the 30 second mark. I also added a few transition effects and changed the framing of a few tilted shots.
My role throughout the making of this video was a director. This was definitely a big learning experience for me since I hadn't really taken the lead role in any of my previous videos. I learned that it is very important to take charge of your group members, and to be confident in the decisions I made. I also learned just how important the pre-production process truly is. It is very important to clearly plan out what you want to show so you can fit the time limit. I also learned a lot about white balance and the importance of having a steady shot because if either of these are messed up, it will really screw up your video. I think I definitely did a good job at collaborating with my group and listening to their ideas. I also think I did a pretty good job with communication and my technical skills. My main weaknesses were my leadership and project management. Like I said earlier, I could have taken control a little more in our group and I also should have planned ahead for any issues in the filming process.
If I were to do this project again, I think I would still include a lot of the shot types that we had. However, I definitely would have taken multiple videos of the same shot if we were to do it again so I could then pick the best one available. This way, our shots would be steadier and the color would be better. I think our group did a good job at incorporating a wide variety of interesting shots. I will definitely remember the leadership qualities I learned throughout this project in the future so I can do better with these aspects later in life. As a whole, I think our group did a good job at persevering through the different issues we had and working together to complete our video. We definitely could have done some things better, but as a whole I am happy with how our team worked together.
