My Video



What I liked about my video is that I made myself clear about my ambition, family and all the other factors I had spoken about within my video. Also I enjoyed recording, as my peers and I were able to play around with the different variety of shots that could and wouldn’t be able to complete the video, along with the frames in my storyboard. Whilst doing this, I didn’t enjoy having to repeat myself over and over again as the camera was either unfocused or kept blurring in my face but the background was as clear as day. OR the music wasn’t at the points that I wanted so I had keep cutting and pasting the song over and over again.
Too further add, I could have improved on my video but because this was final cut pro was brand new software to me so I had difficulty doing so it wasn’t as easy as to be said. The thing I would to change up my footage, I would add more shots, more sound effects, more information and a lot more movement as I was just sitting down and not doing much walking around. By trying to make more time to finish of my video, structure the video clearly, that could of helped me save a lot of time because the resources I would of used would of bee easy to trace. The video was not long enough and in the video it was unclear because I was trying remember what to say and in what order to start my video.
