production diary

11/04/2022

I kicked off the production stage by finding suitable archive YouTube videos that are going to be used in the video. I then used a safe YouTube downloader to download the videos. The types of videos that i downloaded were archive footage from people using the early era of the internet.

For this lesson, I continued searching for the needed YouTube videos and downloading them to later edit.

I then started filming the needed clips for the documentary. Most of the needed clips were simple, easy to film short clips of stuff such as someone scrolling through social media. The equipment I needed for the clips were : my phone, a camera, camera battery and an sd card. I did not need a tripod as it was suitable for me to just hold the camera as I was scrolling through my phone.  After I finished filming, I then went back to the pc and took the sd card out of the camera and inserted it into the pc. This is so I could then retrieve the videos off the sd card and put them onto the desktop and documents. After this I could then take out the sd card and put it away as it is not needed now.

In this lesson I began editing the visuals for the documentary. But what i done before this, was film the audio voice over that was needed. How i done this was by using the microphone and the software logic to record the sound.

evaluation and feedback reflection

For this project, the end result definitely came out way worse that I what I had envisioned. This is due to a number of reasons such as files not properly downloading, the video going blurry randomly etc. But up until then, the project was going smoothly. The main skill that I have but during this project was research skills and problem solving. Even though what would of been the solution to the problems were not working, as in files corrupting, downloads not working etc, it has still helped me build up my problem solving skills as I now know how I can fix certain issues to an extent. This can also tie into the research skill as I have had to cross reference a lot of thing on how to fix certain problems. Another example of research skill is client research , researching different types of documentaries, equipment, examples of documentaries of certain styles etc.
