My video I created is more of a promotional/informative piece. I am the alto saxophone section leader for the Western Thunder Marching Band at the University of Wyoming, and I thought a little introductory piece that informed people of our culture and what we were all about would be better than sending a lot of emails! Just sending a link would be easier, and can be used many times.
I always love shooting and putting something together. I don’t really storyboard, I usually just fly my whims and follow my instincts as to not stifle creativity. With this video, I collaborated with a lot of people from our section to get footage from the past year to edit into a single video for promotion, so it was fun to hear peoples’ experiences and the memories they had that they felt should be included.
I didn’t really struggle with anything, but my least favorite part is finding proper audio. Ambient noise was a requirement, but it kinda stood out in my video that was trying to be a little quicker in transitions and delivery. This assignment was one of the best that felt as though I was still in the assignment at the end. I bent the requirements a bit, but my final product was something that really felt like was mine and was something I’d use in the future!
All of the things I really tried to shoot outside kind of got ruined by wind and the audio there within, so if I were to do it again I’d try to get a better microphone to have more on location interviewing and shooting.
I think video is a great medium for expressing information! People are more likely to watch a 0:30-2:00 video rather than read a page of text, so whether educating students or marketing something, the efficiency of video will be super helpful in the future!
