Tutorial 4: Video Production Session

“YouTube is a place to discover, watch, upload and share videos”
The service lets users view and upload video files. It also lets users rate videos, add comments, and subscribe to their favourite producer.
This site can be used to watch videos of interest, educational/instructional videos or can be used to advertising. There are a variety of different categories of videos such as music, sports, shows, history, news & politics and film.

In small groups within our tutorial group we created our own videos and uploaded them onto youtube ourselves. You can view the video we made on my blog page, under the title ‘Stalker on Campus’. Throughout the making of this video we used the technique of planning, more specifically story boards. A story board is a series of illustrations displayed in a sequence for the purpose of pre-visualizing a film.
Using a story board gave us a clear idea of how the film will look after filming has been completed and gives a general idea of what the different scenes will require, what location they will be in and what characters will be in them. A storyboard helps to identify any potential problems that might occur and also provides the rest of the production team with the overall vision the producer is aiming for.

Creating our own story board for our film gave us a clear picture as to where we were heading and what we would require for each scene so we knew what the process would be and could all work effectively as a group.
