This was an off week for me, as I was sick for over half of it. It didn’t matter too much though, as most of the days were focused on actually making and editing our videos. This made it easier for me to do at home, since it’s all online. Before I could actually start the video though, I needed to revise my piece a little. I ended up changing the direction a little of the piece, and adding some more content. It felt good to revise my paper. I know from doing all the other papers, that my first draft never quite captures what I’m trying to say. I was a little worried because I didn’t know if I’d find a way to phrase what I wanted to say, but it all worked out. The next problem to fix was that I’ve never actually worked on a video before. Using the provided editing software, I knew that it wouldn’t be hard to get the video how I wanted. The issue was that I had no idea what I wanted. For example, I had no idea what kind of music to use as background. I used websites such as this one, but it’s hard to think up music that fits my theme. As I struggled to figure out how to make a decent video, I couldn’t help but draw comparisons to the first essay we did for this class. I didn’t really know how to structure an essay well there, just like with the video. As I started playing around with the video, I noticed that it took some time until I was able to really figure out how I wanted to do this. This reminded me of the pre-writes that I found myself doing before I wrote any of my previous essays. I’ve discovered that the whole video editing process is very similar to the writing process. Hopefully my writing skills will transfer over well into my video.
