After watching the YouTube video, I have learnt many different and new things you can do with video. Watching this video was helpful towards myself, as if I carry on with media next year and decide to do the video task, I will already have some ideas of how to use equipment and how to create a video just from watching this YouTube video.
Firstly, the YouTube clip starts and the man talking thanks the sponsor of the video (another business), he lets the viewers know what this business is about and by doing this he is referring to other resources which help with making videos, which I can use to help me if needed.
Also in this YouTube video lots of information is included on different pieces of equipment, for example how to use the equipment. As well as this, detail is also given to the many different settings that can be found on a camera and advice is given from the man in the video on what settings should be actually used. This will be helpful towards me, as if I come to make a video for my task I will already have background information on how to the use the camera and what settings to use. This YouTube video also helps me by discovering new pieces of equipment for me and by going into detail on other pieces of equipment for me such as the monopod, which allows you to film in different shots. The man also informs the viewers on the reasons why some of the equipment is good as well as demonstrating how to use these pieces of equipment, which will also be helpful towards me as I will know why some equipment is used and how to use it, due to watching this video.
The clip also shows two men making a small video themselves. Before this they discuss what they want to achieve, then they show the video and then show how they made it. This will also be helpful towards me as it allows me to see how a video is made, what they want to achieve before the video is made and the outcome as well as what it taught them by making this video. During the clip which shows you how the video is made, it informs you of details of the camera, what equipment is being used as well as what shot is being used. This is helpful for me as it can help me see what a completed video looks like and what shots and equipment are useful for video making. As well as seeing the reality of the what they wanted compared to the outcome, their video may also help give me inspiration, if I choose the video tasks in A2.
The man in the video also informs the viewers of how long it took to shoot their video as well as giving advice by telling the viewers to use a storyboard and why they are good to use as well as what equipment they used to make this storyboard. Both these pieces of information are helpful towards me, as I am informed on how long the video took, this maybe helpful as it gives me a rough idea of how long it may take me to make a video. It also informs me before making my video that a storyboard would be a good piece to have in my planning part of the task as well as being good to use to help me while filming my actual video. The storyboard will also be helpful if I make a video as it can help to show my ideas and what I want to achieve.
Lastly, the man talks about editing. Firstly about the software to use (IMovie - available on Macs & Adobe premiere elements - available on Macs and PC). The man also mentions that tutorials for these pieces of software should be available on the webpage for the piece of software or knowledge of the software will be available online. As well as this, also informing the viewers that not a lot of equipment is needed to make a video like theirs and just giving general advice. This would be helpful for me, as it allows me to know what software would be best to edit a video that I have made, also ensuring me that not much equipment will be needed.
This YouTube video has helped me by informing of the different things to look out for while making a video, while telling me what equipment and software is useful and what other resources are.
