Mission 3 #1

I found out that for this project we can team up with people from different groups. Therefor Daniel, Matthew and myself chose to do this project together. We all have a high interest in videography and we all have different strengths and weaknesses so we can help each other in making a great project. For this mission we are finding it hard to choose a topic because they all seem pretty boring so we decided we all split the topics to read through them and explain to each other what they are about and see what we will go for.

Reading through them we found 3 of them that might have a potential. So we will read through does three and see what happens.

See you in a few days.

Mission 2 (YouTubing) #4

The presentation went way better that we thought. Although it went well we learned a few really important points that we will try our best to improve on such as being good at managing our time is very important and we need to work hard on that.

Thats it for now. Next is methodology so I need to find my team and choose the project.
See you soon.

Mission 2 (YouTubing) #3

Editing the makeup video was easy but it took so long. Not being interested in makeup didn't help the situation either. The video turned out a lot better than I thought. but long. I managed to get it down to 24 mins on the dot.
Unfortunately I wasn't aware that we need to present it the following week so I had no time to book the studio to get all the other shots I needed so we decided to leave the vlogging video out and focus on the presentation and the makeup video.
The makeup video do very well in a short period of time. We were happy about that.
Although we had one video me and Cliodhna were stressed out due to the fact we had no time to finish the vlogging video.

Chat to you after the presentation.

Mission 2 (YouTubing) #2

Today me and Cliodhna went to the studio room record the makeup video. I arrived there first so i decided to start the intro for the vlog and take a few b-roll shots of the studio. Once I finished that I set up the chair where Cliodhna will do her makeup video. I also got the lights set up in the right angles and got the tripod and camera ready.

When Cliodhna arrived we went straight into making the makeup video. I started recording the video but after that she didn't really need my help anymore for the moment so i decided to take a few b-roll sequences of her doing her makeup.

At the end Cliodhna and myself took the video for the blog saying that the  makeup video is just done and I took a few shots of Cliodhnas makeup all done up. The video turned out very long

Using that studio was very helpful. The makeup video turned out very well but very long (43 mins.). Starting the vlog turned out well but I couldn't get enough shots for the b-roll part of the vlog so I had to book it again.
Having the studio lights help so much in producing high quality videos. Now the next step is editing the makeup video.

See you next time!

Mission 2 (YouTubing) #1

Hi there, welcome back. In todays lab we are moving on the the next mission (Culture). Looking at all the options there were a few options that stood out to me the most such as memes and YouTubing.

I decided to go for YouTubing. I always wanted to start YouTube so I think this will be a good push in starting it. Now all I need is a team. I decided to text in the group 1 group chat on WhatsApp to find someone interested in YouTubing but I couldn't find someone.

In the next lab I asked around to see who is interested in YouTubing but doesn't have a team yet. I teamed up with Cliodhna. Verbally brainstorming we came up with a really good idea. Cliodhna has a big interested in makeup so we decided to make a makeup video and I will be doing a vlog/tutorial on how we done this project step by step.

We decided to ask the Helen if the photography studio is available for students to use and she said yes if we book it. So we went and did that. we want to make this look very professional so we wanted the studio lights and the white background to help us with that.

Now we just have to wait until tomorrow when we go and shoot those videos.
See you then!
