Post Production

This week I have done quite a lot to contribute to the project. Nell told me about the editing program that she tested to make videos called Canva. She explained to me how easy it is to use and even showed it to me. After that I downloaded the app and practiced using it.

We both discussed that each of us will record our own audio and do our own parts of the video. After that we will put everything together and post it on YouTube. Sadly, Thomas was unable to join us but luckily, I was able to contact him and explain what we’re going to do.

During the weekend I continued working out Canva and different things that it has to offer. As Nell mentioned it actually is very easy and fun to use. I had so much fun making the video. It took a few hours to make the video, but it was worth it. I used images from both Pixabay and Canva to make the background of the video.

I have placed my avatar in the bottom left corner of the video as my group and I have discussed. After I finished making the video, I had to adjust it to my script and to the speed that I was speaking. Once that was done, I saved everything and shared it with my teammates. The video at first still didn’t have the audio because I was tired and didn’t have the energy to go through the recording of my voice.

A few days later I came back to the video and put the script beside me so that I would know what to say. The most difficult thing was the audio recording. It took me at least twenty times before I got a good enough audio. It wasn’t perfect but I was getting exhausted, so I saved it and added it to the video.

I added the audio to the video and adjusted the timing so that everything would fit in together. Now all that has to be done is the recording of the introduction and to put everything together and post the finished product onto YouTube.

Overall, I really enjoyed making the video even though I did hate hearing my voice when it’s recorded.
