My Experience
This project produced filming, recording, editing and directing skills. It also involved interacting with a range of persons to identify a suitable host for the instruction, encouraging confidence in delivery, and previewing for tone, language, and body language during the video. Several recordings had to done in order to find a 'perfect' recording. However, in spite of this, errors, and mishaps werer evident during later reviews. The vidoes were cut and spliced together to create a single production that was reasonably suited for publication and presentation via YouTube. Nonethess, it has produced skills that are useful for producing simple video productions for use during meetings, presentations, and instruction.
