Project Statement

Media & Design

My project’s purpose was to show people a sneak peek of what my life look likes. It’s just a short little clips of days in my life on a regular day basis. The video clips just show normal things and what I may have been doing at that time. The goal of the project was to show a full week of what I do throughout the day but, since I got so caught up I didn’t really get a full chance to show my week. I recorded for about 3 or 4 days. The only thing that I wanted to learn or wanted the people who watched the video to learn is a little about me and what goes on in my life. The steps that I took to create this project is just simply took out my camera and recorded for a couple of days. I ended up using a video editing website to edit my videos into one. Some failures that I encountered during the project is having my time under control. I seemed to take too much time with certain topics and never really got to the full point. I also had a struggle with looking decent in my videos, since I was in the house all the time I never looked decent. A failure that I kind of got over with is I decided to make the video a little more interesting by adding other bloopers clips to make the video actual look interesting, since it was boring in the beginning. What I learned through making the video is that it was going to be harder than I thought. If you don’t have a specific time management for the project then the videos will be all over the place and not fully together. I also noticed that if you aren’t consistent with the work than the project can look effortless. I learned through the process that my life isn’t really that interesting and it looks like my life is boring in the video. I also learned about myself that I am a very interesting person and I can make the simplest things seem interesting. I always to make things work even if it’s at a bad start. If I was able to do the project over again I would most likely use my time management a lot better. I did things at the last minute in the project and that messed me up. I feel like if I had planned more activities and showed videos of me doing those things then my video could have been a lot more fun and interesting. Also if I decided to record more at night it would have been interesting because I’m out more at night and things get more interesting. If I were to give tips to someone who was completing this project I would say use your time wisely and don’t wait until the last minute to film or to create what you want to do for the project. I also would say if you’re filming plan ideas for what you want to record. Basically have a plan ahead of time. This project inspired me to create more videos for my projects of me interaction. It inspired me to teach someone else about the project and help them out. I should also say you should be able to cite your work if you use any information from the internet or a website. The video editing helped me to convey the message is because I was able to properly collage the videos together to make one whole video to show. Last thing to add is, the project was a lot of fun and you learn things about yourself and others.
