Commuting vs. Resident Life video

My video actually turned out a lot better than I thought it was going to. When we first got the assignment, I thought my video would turn out awful. But I put effort into it and am happy with my results. I made sure to pick a topic that would be interesting to find information about. I knew this would take some time, but of course I didn’t start right away honestly. Once I started, it was easy to get going. I took about two days to actually do the interviews then on Saturday and Sunday I put the video together. I put a lot of time into the actual making of the video on the weekend. I used iMovie for the first time and it was pretty easy. The only thing I struggled with was getting songs to play in the background and then pause when a recorded interview started. Also, the recorded interviews are harder to hear, and as much as I tried to fix that, it wouldn’t work so I just had to leave it that way. That’s something I would change if I could. Uploading my video to YouTube took a lot quicker than I thought it was going to. I’ve uploaded things to YouTube before so I knew what I was doing.

I think I did a good job making this video informative. I made sure to interview everyone with questions that would lead to informative answers. The video isn’t completely entertaining because it does have a lot of written interviews, but the effects and songs make up for it. I spent about half the time in the video introducing the topic and voicing my own opinion, and the other half was filled with other people’s responses to my questions. In the conclusion I drew about commuting vs. resident life, it’s similar to my own personal opinion. I do think commuting is the smarter thing to do.
