Assignment 5

As I said in my blog, I would like to turn this into a series of video tutorials for my PAA8 - 10 classes and link them to my Google Classroom along with the assignment sheets and the corresponding assessment pieces.  It would be an incredibly large undertaking but I think that it would really benefit my students.

I do think that a tool like this would be great to introduce to students for their own assignments, perhaps in safety videos or presenting alternative building materials.




The process:

I began by creating a script.  I am not much of an artist and I felt that a script would work best for me.  I typed up what I wanted to say and I typed underneath in bold what I wanted to show.  The bold parts made it incredibly easy to see what shots I needed to make.  I feel that was a system that worked best for me.

Once the script/storyboard was created, I began shooting.  I got all of the footage that I needed plus a few more takes, just in case I needed them.  Once I got home, I uploaded all of the data and picked the best shots.  I definitely saw a difference in quality on a bigger screen.

I began to import my videos and chop up what I wanted, in accordance with my storyboard.  At this time, I found a couple clips from bensound that I threw in (Thanks Marc).  I was able to edit the audio in Shotcut and matched to the audio to the video.  While I was playing with sound, I muted the clips that were poopy and brought the volume down on the power tools and the sanding.

Once my video was completed, I exported it and created a new project with overdubs.  The overdubs were completed in Audacity and took an embarrassing amount of takes.  Although it is done, I would like to rerecord(sic?) using my Bluemic Yeti someday if I do eventually create a wood project series.
