Tutorial Four and Five: Video production

You Tube is they tool we used to upload our videos. It is a website that allows you to share your videos with the world. Anyone can watch videos on you tube which range from music clips, television clips, movie clips, amateur content as well as original videos. If you wan to upload videos you must fist become a registered user. If any video you upload contains inappropriate content or breach the copyright laws it will not be uploaded.

A key feature of you tube is its ability to be uploaded to other sites such as blogger and facebook. Each video has a code for embedding that you copy and paste. If the owner of the video does not want it to be copied they can request the embedding to be disabled.

In our class we were asked to make videos to upload onto you tube and then onto our blogs. An important part of this was the planning of the short film. We used storyboarding and scripting for our planning. As a group we had a range of ideas we needed to consider which we brain stormed, we then came up with an idea that we had all experienced at one time or another which was problems with 'parking on campus'. We then went through the different steps of out idea, drew pictures and wrote what we would do at each of the clips (storyboarding). This helped the process of videoing hugely as we knew what we wanted to shoot at each stage within the short time frame and being organised was essential. If we hadn't planned what we wanted to video we would have wasted a lot of time planning this and would not have been able to complete the short film.
