CREATING MY VIDEO REVIEW

 In today's post I am going to describe the process of creating my video review of the film Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (1966) for my sign off project.

 

Picture 1: Elizabeth Taylor as Martha (Lattanzio, 2020)

The first step that I have decided to do; was to record myself. To do so I used my IPhone 7 camera; I was very happy with the results that I have achieved; the quality was satisfying. I took about 50 of videos and then I cut them into the smaller pieces. Thankfully my mother let me used her Atelier for the recording time.


After recording myself I have decided to open up my editing software;  Shotcut; shotcut is a free editing software that allows you to do multiple things related to editing;  it is a shame I worked on Windows Movie Maker last term; the free version of it did not allow me to do much with my project. Shotcut on the other hand allowed me do everything that I wanted. First I pasted my recordings there and then I cut them precisely 


Then I decided to paste video clips from Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and then adding the tittle to each clip with the information about the director and also a year of release. Shotcut did not have any difficulties with such operation; everything went smooth and I was satisfied with the results. 


After pasting my recordings and video clips from the picture; I have used a filter that allowed me to make a very smooth transition between video clips and my recordings; it made it look way much more professional and I was very pleased with the outcome.


The last step of creating my video review was to include my reference list. I have created reference credits and pasted this at the end of my review. The font is clear and readable. The background colour is black and the font is white. 


 The last step was to convert the project into the video file; to do so I have chosen to convert it into MP4 format. I was thrilled with the results; because the quality was amazing but the size of the video review turned out to be only 200mb; for that quality I was really pleased.
