. Some of the problems that occurred during the process were the landscape mode.For some reason or another phones that are HTC ones at times do not access landscape style the right way. When the camera is clearly horizontal the net day upon opening the video it came up vertically, luckily for people with this problem there is a way in a program called Imovie to flip the video, which was a lifesaver in this case. Another problem in which occurred was that the camera turned purple when filming at night. The camera worked well in general during the day, but as soon as it hit the wrong lighting, purple it went. This was frustrating because the group had the task of meeting people and the politics of that.The group was dedicated to accomplishing the task at hand and when problems like this occurred instead of freaking out, and over exaggerating they instead thought of a different place to shoot that would work out for everyone.
As far as the editing of the Imovie editing itself, the struggle was alot worse than originally thought because of the lack of knowledge people may have. Not having a background knowledge of this program, really made it a difficult process.It would have been nice having a day in class in which the program was taught, instead we had to learn it on the fly which was frustrating for more than one group members. Posting the video did not prove to be difficult as a certain group member knew how to break everything down to show how it was done.If this group member had been in another group the politics group would have probably been in trouble. Make sure the file is not too large that is why a flash drive with alot of space is needed.
People should use videos to communicate different messages, this is opposed to writing or still photos. Videos are a first hand look at what is going on with movement. If people can see it happening it sticks with them more vividly, especially with audio it puts more of an emphasis on the subject matter. Perfect example is a video the class was presented in class showed the aspect of time. If the group had just written about what we do with our time it would have been boring. Also if they just showed a picture of a clock not much excitement would be there. Instead of going these routes the visual video worked perfectly to ensure what they wanted to portray. In the video they had examples of figgiting, clocking in and out of work, the use of the different clocks emphasized the passing of time very well. Seeing the movements of the happening will resonate with classmates more than other aspects of visual communication.
The public nature of the video affected the groups subject matter for sure. The reasoning behind this is that the group had to put themselves out there in order to get a good grade and get the notion across that these are the politics of meeting new people.This differed from other groups because we has the unfortunate task of going up to people whom we have never been in contact with, and none the less with someone behind the person with a camera just to make things more awkward. Again differing from other groups because all other groups put it as if it looked as if one person shot the entire video. The politics group instead broke it up to individually how they met the person. This breaking up of the videos to the individual, showed the person more than maybe other groups because this group did it in order as they met the people.
This problem should have gone in the struggles section but if someone needs to use vine it is only accessible through your phone. Meaning using Imovie the student must cut down the video to six seconds, which looks easy but is to many a struggle. The group that had politics had an easy task when using Vine because they put everyone they met and that made up for the six seconds that was needed, for other groups if may have been a struggle due to them not knowing what subject matter to put into the video.
The thing that helped the politics group was that the self-portrait video was also in the group video. When people think of politics they do not think of meeting people. Politics and meeting people who knew they were even relate to each other. the politics group picked a topic which was not easy, others in the group were apprehensive at first. While that ended the apprehension the group ended up enjoying it and meeting new people. As far as uploading the videos it was not a problem.
