Tutorial Four and Five: Video Production Sessions

In these two tutorials we were required to plan, produce and edit a 30 second short film, set up a youtube account and post our video to YouTube.

You Tube is the worlds most popular online video community. It provides a
forum for people to connect, inform & inspire others across the globe. Comments can be made on others video postings.
Videos posted onto YouTube are available to all viewers. For some activities on YouTube, like uploading videos, posting comments, flagging videos, or watching restricted videos, you need a YouTube or Google Account.

Creating a Short Film
The aim of this session was to work in small groups to create a short film. From this we were to develop an understanding and demostrate basic film production skills, importance of planning and preparing for video production, editing a video sequence and the use of the camera and considerations needed to take into account with there use. Upon completion we were to then upload our short film to YouTube.

For our short film we chose to focus on "Car parking issues around the Dunedin campus". In our planning of the film we used a story board. This is a series of drawings of the proposed film as it will appear on screen. It was efficient in that it provided useful time management as we all knew what our focus was and who was to do what.
