You Tube Video Project

Making the public service announcement for YouTube was not only educational, but also a lot of fun! Crystal and I had a blast creating video tape that we could edit. We actually had too many scenes of us laughing, so it was good that we taped much, much more than we needed to.

The biggest frustration of the night was having to upload the video twice, due to my mistake of not saving to the proper place the first time around. However, once we got our video clips in the computer, it was fun to go through them and edit out the parts we needed. It was also really enjoyable to play around with the different transitions to see how the overall effect changed depending on how the video flowed.

We probably had the beat time when we were picking out sound effects and music. We definitely had a certain type of music in mind, and we were fortunate enough to find some that worked as we had hoped! The black screen / car crash effect turned out really awesome.

Although the entire project did take a considerable amount of time to complete, it was a great experience! I would definitely create more video for my class, as well as try to have my students also create video of their own. Video creation is a tool that is not only valuable in the educational setting, but also in the "real" world.
