Tutorial Four and Five

In this tutorial, we learnt how to upload a video clip onto the youtube website and then post the video on our blogs.


Youtube provides a number of services:

• watch other peoples posted videos


• rate videos and provide comments


• customise the homepage


• post your own videos - broadcast yourself or your views and ideas
  
• post videos from youtube onto other websites i.e. social networking sites

In tutorial 5, we planned and produced a short video clip. This can be viewed under the post dated 11th May 2009.

Storyboarding is a series of drawings of proposed film, as it will appear on the screen. This process enabled our group to plan the film very carefully (tutorial notes). Through the process of storyboarding, we developed the character and what direction the story would go. When we began shooting the film, we used to story board to set up and film the individual scenes. Using the storyboard meant that filming of the individual scenes went smoothly and happened within the time requirements.

The script is a vehicle by which the thoughts and ideas of the author are transmitted to the audience (tutorial notes, 2009). Even though we created a silent movie, alongside the storyboard we wrote short descriptions of movement, facial expressions, positions and movement of the camera and any extra notes that could not be described in the drawings.
