Features of a good video!
Today, we learned about the features of an effective video and were shown some powerful and creative examples!
Mr.Paterson taught us the characteristics a "good" presentation should have so we can include it in our current project. First of all, videos must ALWAYS have a MESSAGE and you must make sure to send that message accurately and clearly. As our teacher told us, "There has to be an argument to be made in your video." To do so, it's important to use certain video effects, expression/acting, words/dialogue, and much much more! One example of that is changing the color scheme (?) so it goes with the purpose of the video. Mr.Paterson showed us a video one of his students made that was about what you can do to prevent suicides from happening. The video used a gloomy, slow effect to match the dark and serious topic, so it really stood out to me! Also, one of the things to keep in mind when uploading a YouTube video is copyright. You should try to use non copyright music such as remixes that can be found on YouTube, or if not, you should make sure to get permission from official people/groups in charge of the music. Last but not least, he gave us some tips and techniques on how to film AND edit our video for our project. He told us to always film with the landscape mode (sideways), and not portrait mode (vertical). One of the last things we'd want is to have excess black patches on the screen. I will definitely film all the videos and take all the pictures SIDEWAYS if it is for the video we're going to be making. I think tomorrow, our teacher will teach us how to use iMovie on the macbooks.
