video assignment
So I've been trying to figure out what to do for my video assignment for a while and I was torn between two ideas; one would be about my ADHD and it would've been funny instead of serious and the other one was um... about my little brother. Basically I wanted to do a documentary. I've been overthinking about how I should do it and I really didn't know how to start.. I did film myself in one um... situation though but it's not very good.
Then I put on my creative thinking mode on and was browsing through my laptop and my 2 external hard-drives, I found a lot of videos recorded from like, 4 different cameras and I haven't done anything with them, I thought... why not make use of them now? And so I watched a lot of them and I discovered how much I like to record my little brother. Hahahhahah.
I really didn't think I could pull it off though because um, the videos are not exactly tailored to make a real documentary so I thought I'd be pretty screwed.... but I said to myself, you'll never know until you try! So I just went with it... and I saw someone post this on Facebook and it inspired me.
So I started my journey on iMovie. I've never made a documentary before so go easy on me. It's just an attempt and I hope I did OK at least.
I uploaded it on YouTube lastnight and when I woke up today and watched it.... it's a huge fail. See for yourself.
I don't know what happened, but as you can see from the screenshots, I had a lot. I was aiming for 4 minutes, but I ended up having a total of 9 minutes, so please don't die of boredom!
Anyway, I'm re-exporting the file now and it's gonna take about an hour, hopefully less. And then I'll upload it... again. Hope that's okay! Sorry if you're already reading and I still haven't done it.
Here's a screenshot of the video and proof that it is 9 minutes long.
If all my video-uploading fails... I'll just come to class and hand it in to you in my pendrive or something.
