I've learned a lot over the course of the past few weeks in assembling this two minute video. If I can offer any one bit of advice it would be: It seems a lot easier than it actually is! so start way ahead of time.
When Professor Krochmal first showed us what he wanted the video to look like, I thought to myself "piece of cake, this should take me two days tops". Well, little did I know!
Although going out and getting interviews can be daunting, interesting and even kind of fun, this part of the project should be done well in advance. The nature of my project allowed me to simply walk around Hicksville to find people to interview but I did plan on interviewing an expert or academic, who did not get back to me in time. So make sure you book your interview well in advance.
My biggest challenges however, came with the editing. I didn't realize that my laptop had the newest version of Windows Movie Maker which made it impossible to work on my project on any other computer even after my computer caught a virus! This caused a lot of unnecessary stress and waste of time. So if it's possible, just work on your project in the Newshub.
To ensure that you have the skills and basic knowledge of movie maker to make the best video possible, be sure to familiarize yourself with the program before you even begin this project. This can save a lot of time and frustration as well.
Another really helpful tool are the six points by Bill Blundell. If you can answer all six of those questions well, it will really help you to organize your video and your article.
