Recently we have started a project where we demonstrate the process of printing a document at Olathe Northwest, adding comedic affect to show the confusion some highschoolers might have when first attempting to print a document. The project was completed using Ipads on tripods, and the video editing application known as Adobe Premiere Pro. The project was split into 3 parts, the planning/storyboarding, shooting, and editing. Overall this project took roughly 2 weeks.
Process Behind The Project:
When we first began this project, we brainstormed potential locations and stories with a partner. Once we set the storyboards and scouted an area suitable to film, we grabbed our equipment such as the tripod and Ipad. My partner and I decided to shoot the scenes in the library, which took several takes with us maneuvering the tripod into other locations. One of the major points of this project was to use each of the 6 basic shots and the rule of thirds to draw in the viewer. In all the shots we took I was the actor playing the part of the confused student whereas my partner filmed the scenes. Many parts were trimmed to keep the story short and simple. Background music was added to fit the theme of the story and audio from the video itself was cut to make the video even more simple.
Confusion and Correction:
There are many things that I believe could be changed and made better throughout our video. This was the first time my partner and I used the tripod, leaving us confused on how to properly center the Ipad and keep the shot balanced. If I were to do this project again I would redo the beginning scene since it was wobbly and unbalanced. Also I would trim a few other clips such as the scenes where I move the mouse across the screen. Overall the project was relatively simple, with many of the tasks not requiring much work. Also, I have had experience with filming and video editors before so the project was easily manageable.
