News Broadcast Video

  As part of the error detection question, as a team we had decided to create a news broadcast video on explaining the whole concept of error detection. As we were filming the video at school during lunch, the limited period of time to set up and start filming, meant that we could not film the video all on one day. Furthermore over the next few days, each group member, were unable to make it, and so we ended up filming the next part of the video, a week after. Which delayed the editing of the video.

  Whilst filming, we had encountered some problems. There were issues with lighting .This was able to be fixed through editing, which enabled adjustments of the contrast and brightness. There were also issues with the positioning of the camera. Due to to it being an iPhone camera, the portion of the film being taken had to be proper. Yet once again this could be fixed through editing. Which involved cropping certain portions of the film. Volume was another problem. Whilst filming, it was important to adjust the volume levels so that the speaker could be heard clearly. Once again this also could be edited.

 I had taken the role of editing the videos on iMovie. I found this software, quiet easy and fun to use. With the whole theme of news broadcasting, I picked the appropriate music, slide transitions et cetera. The only problem was when I finished editing the whole video, whenever I clicked play, it would freeze at certain frames. As it came to be, this was associated with the fact that the video was not published. So I had accordingly published it, exported to my USB and viewed it. Luckily it ran smoothly.

 Then I had shown it to be group members, for any feedback and Reshma, decided that it would be appropriate to create a logo for our group name- RSS which would become the logo for the news broadcast. I then re-added the logo on each slide, published, exported and the news broadcast video was completed!

Editing the video.

The beginning of the News broadcast.

 On a last note, even through this is not classified as a educational video for the site, as a team we decided that we would create a 'bloopers' video for the students visiting the site, just to make it fun. Yet this video would be created last and only if we had time.

Update: We did end up having time, I had many bloopers from the News broadcast video, used these clips, added music & transitions and it was done!

Just for fun!
