PSA project

My group decided to do our PSA project on procrastination. We thought this was a good idea because everyone suffers from procrastination at some point or another. Throughout our video, Shea and Josh are the procrastinators, and I am the anti-procrastinator. I remind them about the work that is due or the upcoming work that they have to do or begin. We decided to have grades on the screen as the statistic is read to illustrate how procrastination can truly affect a student's success.

It did not take us a long time to film our scenes which I was surprised about. After uploading our footage onto the computer, we learned that the audio did not pick up as we taped our scenes. This frustrated our entire group because now we would have to dub over the audio. We edited all our scenes, and then we began to record our audio. Shea recorded his audio the quickest, but it was easier for him because during his scene the audience does not see his lips. Therefore, he didn't have to match anything up. Josh and I on the other hand, had a harder time dubbing over our scenes. We did the paper scene in two takes, but the book scene took us a while. It was really frustrating to have to match everything up and make sure it looks alright. After adding the audio, we created the title, credits, added music while the credits scroll. Also, we used the fade in and fade out technique in between the scenes.

Overall, I think my group is satisfied with our video project. We were able to finish it in class and upload it to YouTube. This project allowed me to learn how to use movie maker and audacity. These programs are a lot easier to use than I originally thought, so I am glad that I had a chance to use them.
