Blog #3 Producing Video

     This video project gives us the real experience to understand what the shooting is. It leads us to understand the important of the storyboard. This is very important before you do the shooting because it gives us the concept and the image that we are going to shoot. Additionally, it actually helps us the editing. Because we are the beginner of the shooting and we also do the documentary, therefore we did not have the equipments but the DV. I believe that the quality is not that great, therefore I focus on the editing, trying to use the editing to make up the shortcoming of the shooting. Additionally, the concept of this video is about the smoking free. Thus, we just shot the smokers around the campus, but we shot  the people without the permit because we try to take the natural feeling from the smokers. Also, the background sound is the problem for the video because we are not the English speaker, so we do not record our conversation into the video. Therefore, we just cut the volume and add some pictures to classify the meaning of the scene. I draws upon the function of Photoshop to export a video format and cut into the video. In the editing part, we used a lot of effects such as fade and dissolve to make the video more interesting. To sum up, this is a great experience that understand the concept of shooting and editing. Also, this is helping us to understand the sound is important material for a movie.
