Tute Four and Five

Tutorial Four and Five: Video Production Sessions

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.

You tube is a website dedicated to video sharing and viewing. People can enter the website and watch movies or can become a member by signing in and post their own videos. Some videos cannot be posted if they contain illicit material or only those who are a member of you tube and are over 18 can watch them. The benefits of you tube involve being able to watch videos on almost any subject, including news items. The danger of you tube is knowing whether the video is authentic or not.

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.
Story boarding is very useful in laying out what was going to happen in each video clip. It means that the video flows logically and there is a plan to follow while filming. The process of storyboarding also brings out the issues of space or position that would not usually be thought of if story boarding hadn’t been done. It also generates creativity and makes the scripter think of possible other angles or views.
Scripting is very important when making a video or else the characters in the video have to focus on thinking about what they are going to say in the shot rather than repeating a line and focusing on their body language and acting. Scripting also allows for a logical story line
