#videoassignment

Hey guys! First of all, I don’t like the term – vodcast. Clearly, podcasts have entered the mainstream for listeners everywhere, but vodcasts have not because my group of people had not heard of it when I brought it up. I think podcasts work because people can listen to them at work or in their car and they don’t have to be constrained to a screen when so much of our lives are laser-focused on screen time. When I think about a video podcast, I immediately think of YouTube videos. Unlike the VHS tapes of the past, these videos are instantly available to be viewed on repeat without being kind and rewinding. Since I have determined that “vodcast” is not a word people use, I am henceforth removing its title from my streaming video.

To come up with a subject for my video, I browsed the Pinellas Public Library Cooperative’s (PPLC) website for information that was new to me, or at the very least things community members may not know the library does. I compiled a list of 5 items ranging from online content to music options to museum passes. I chose Pinellas because I live here. The short list created itself and was not difficult to make.

A corporate video for the Imagine Cup Club FTSM UKM for the second video assignment.

I sent my tutors an in depth word document of each frame, scene by scene, specifically explaining a video analysis of my final submission through blackboard by resubmitting my final video assignment. 

I hope this helps boost up my score for Research and Delivery as I felt the need to explain every aspect of my video due to Hyper Sensitivity that my message may not be translated across 

I also managed to avoid time writing an engaging media essay due tomorrow 

Just some screenshots I took processing a few elements of my video, in an archival matter

The top photo - editing the background out of my video by importing my footage into photoshop and removing the background with magic wand, I had to do this frame by frame in order to keep the removed background consistent throughout the clip 

Samurai jack photo- screenshots I took from Samurai Jack comic strips that are replaced as the background I originally removed in photoshop, he was quite an inspirational cartoon figure to me growing up and I felt like it gave another element to the theme “Datarai” (datamosh + samurai) 

Youtube mp3- website I used to convert my music used in the clip from youtube into an mp3 file

Logic FIles 1 & 2- I then decided to edit the music in my application called Logic Pro X which specialises in making music and editing audio, I chose the song Dark Skies by Nero and edited a fragment of the song that spoke to me most, I decided to loop that section to play four times in total throughout my video. The second image shows the volume rendering that took place so that the loop flowed into itself and didn’t come across sounding jaggered or out of sync with itself. 

Files- an archival screenshot of a few of the folders I used in organising my footage, the folder glitch work expanded into four files: Original videos,  Rendered Videos, edited videos, video laydown that made up the foundations and process of formulating my video, piecing together clip by clip, edit by edit.
