Video production - Tutorial four and five
U Tube
U tube provides opportunity to broadcast your own video on the Internet freely for everyone to see. There are services like "test tube". This is like an incubator that can test out the public ideas or to give advice from you tube engineers. Also this provides a online community to chat with others when watching the same video(http://www.youtube.com/testtube, 2008).
Storyboarding
We had to plan and shoot a short film, we were given 20 minutes to brainstorm, plan,create a storyboard and film. We decided on a topic which was a typical day at polytechnic from here we decided to have 7 shots at 30 seconds each. The storyboard was very useful to provide a plan and a sequence to imagine the film before filming it. This was very beneficial due to our short time frame. The storyboard included a simple drawing and brief description of each shot.
