TUTORIAL FOUR AND FIVE: Video Production Sessions

Task One: Follow instructions and work in a small group to plan and produce and edit a 30 second short.

Task Two: Set up a U Tube account.

Task Three: Follow instructions to posting your video on U Tube.

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.

YouTube is a video sharing website where users can upload, view and share video clips. Unregistered users can watch most videos on the site, while registered users are permitted to upload an unlimited number of videos. Related videos, determined by title and tags, appear onscreen to the right of a given video. Users can post video 'responses' and subscribe to content feeds (wikipedia, 2008).

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.

Once our group was given a task we brainstormed possible film topics. Storyboarding (a series of drawings of the proposed film) helped us organise our thoughts into one common idea that we could visualise. We explored different options of shots we could take and recorded them on the storyboard.
Later we went down to the places where the filming took place and completed the task. The storyboard made it easy for us to stay focused on our topic.
