On every social platform, video is the dominating mass medium of media to create, post and share online. #ALM102DC.
This is my second time uploading my video on YouTube. However, I still feel like I am doing it for the first time.
Since I am doing my self-introduction video, I have a clear vision of what I am going to put and shoot. I want to reflect the video of what I like and what I love and talking small details of my self. Throughout making and creating video, I find ups and downs experiencing issues, troubles and the unexpected.
I experience and encounter a lot of problems from filming myself, lack of necessary equipment to shooting b-rolls. It’s not a terrible problem of not having excellent sound equipment to shoot with. Due to the emerging virus “COVID-19”, I cannot go outside too much, but I did filming in my apartment. Luckily I have videos when I went out for concerts, festivals and photos that I took throughout the years and before the quartine.
I had two main problems that I had to deal with; one is the lighting as I don’t have great professional light and a good sound recorder. The second main problem is I have to make use of the videos that I had when I was outside.
In every video, there should be a piece of background music to spice up or have a character to the video. Trying to get copyrights music for my video is complicated and hard as finding the right music is crucial to make my video great. I don’t want to demonetize if I don’t give credit as well. Nevertheless,I make it work by looking and mimicking at how other YouTubers do their content video.
Decisions about what kind of videos I wanted to convey about is more on what I love to do and show some aesthetic by showing the way I edit.
I put by my video about coffee making since i genuinely enjoy making and drinking coffee as presenting a coffee addict side of me. Another clip of my video is photos of food, who doesn’t love food and try different food out there in the world. Content of concerts and EDM( Electric Dance Music) festival Like EDM, I enjoy and going out with my group of friends and supporting music creators and song artists that I admire and feel the moment. Lastly, going clubs scene is great to show off that I am fun and out-going person in general. I think it’s a great way of showing a little bit of who I am.
In the end, I like out it turns out with the video and hopes that everyone enjoys my video. Even though its a minute video, I hope viewers will see the glimpse of who I am. I learn a lot by learning by doing which it scripting, what video to shoot and upload and finding music for hours. Can’t wait for edit and upload the next video.
