Video making- the frustations, the discovery and the progress..

When finishing the video, some of the things that kept bothering my mind, is how to make the video not only fits with the students and their lesson, but also interesting enough for them to be able to stay focused in the video for the full 4 minutes. When I created the video, I learn how to manipulate the software that I use to create transitions and effects that could 'wow' the students ^^. I learn how to mix audios with video clips and how to insert my own voice over the video.

It had been a frustating experience when I had to do and redo many of my plans when I outlined my video. The main problem had been in how to make a video that suits the curriculum specifications and at the same time, has enough resources on that theme for me to manipulate into a video.

The problem is not that there is limited materials on the net. NO. To be exact, it is the total opposite. There are soo many materialss, too much, that THAT actually became the problem.
The problem is, how do I choose the best materials? How do I know where to edit and where to use? Interesting questions that I had discussed in my previous entry. So, in the process of planning and choosing, the time consumed had been more than the time I had spend in making it. I believe in PLANNING. To me, everything starts with a plan. You cannot just go with an idea and create something. The plan must be clear and precise for me to be able to move on to the other progress. And when the plan is set, my work will shot forward in a proud speed and quality that I consider good enough to be levelled as a-good-job-well-done.

After the planning and collecting process was over, I move on to creating the video. I had, as I said earlier, learn to use so many types of softwares that had helped me to finish my final work. I had learn along the way to experience a lot of trial-and-error with many different programs. The end product is that I know what to look for whenever I saw a new tool and I learn what the advantages and disadvantages that I need to know in choosing my tool.

The progress so far had been good.
