Tutorial Four and Five: Video Production Sessions

These past couple of weeks we have been looking at video/movie production... and you guessed it, by next week we should have produced our own and uploaded them to You Tube and our Blogs!!!

You Tube Services:
You Tube displays a wide variety of user generated, video clips including movie, TV and music videos. It is also a forum for amateurs to upload original videos and blogs for anyone to view, in fact most of the content on You Tube has been posted by amateur.
You Tube has terms of service which specifically deal with defamation, copyright and pornography.

The Planning Process for our Videos:

Scripting and storyboarding are too very important processes in the planning phase of a video or movie.

Scripting is the writers method of telling the story through the spoken word, visual effects and music. A good script will include moods and expressions, movement, vocal expressions, interaction wiht other characters, special effects, lighting, camera angles and types of shots, sound track, background sound and setting and onsreen graphics and titles.

Storyboarding is a comprehensive plan of the sequence of shots required to produce a movie. It comprises of a series of detailed sketches or drawings in separate frames to outline the complete story. The director follows this plan to construct each scene, making efficient use of filming time. Other people involved in the making of the movie will also use the storyboard in their planning, such as sound and lighting crews.

So... stay tuned for the premier of our movie next week ! :)
