Week 6: Finishing Up Script #1

This week, I have been finishing up my script. With time, I have realized that I am going to make a video solely on stress, as this topic is most interesting to me and I feel as though I can really make this video nuanced and intricate. From my notes, I made a script that I think encapsulates the important information of the topic while making it fun and interactive as well.

Unfortunately, I would say I am at something of a lull in my process. My script is finishing, but the difficult part awaits: filming and editing the video. This will most likely be longer than the other parts of my process too.

My script will be in one of the static pages on the blog. I am still unsure about the length of my video, as I do not want to bore my viewers with 30 minutes of footage; however, I would also like to include all the information I originally wanted to. Also, I am unsure if youtube allows a 30 minute video. I will find out all these things and hopefully begin to film before the next post. And if this goes well, I will add effects and such to further engage the audience: anatomy students like ourselves.

Week 4: Sleep Script

1. Have you had any setbacks? How do you plan to handle them, or how did you already handle them?
2. What are the next steps in your process?
3. How can you apply anything you have learned to yourself, your school, your community, etc.? 

After further research. I have decided that I will use Explain Everything to make my videos. I will implement my video clips into an interactive video at a later point, but for now I have begun working on my script for my first video, which will be on the pillar of heath that is stress. Aside from the class notes that we took first semester on, I have also independently found relevant information about Explain Everything that I can add to my videos. 

I have begun making a script that I will follow. The script is fun to make, and it is both interactive and informative, but I think that the area I will run into trouble at will be when I am filming the actual video and putting all the pieces together, as I am tech-challenged. I plan to use my sister in my videos as well, as another character. This first video will give me an idea as to if I will be able to make videos for every pillar, or if I am only able to film and perfect a couple. 

My goal for the next week is to continue on my script and finish it up so that I can begin filming. I aim to make my videos under 10 minutes long, as viewers tend to lose interest after that period of time. For my stress video, I will explain the different kinds of stress, the hormones behind stress, and include the class notes from the health unit. I will also include personal anecdotes and recommend stress lessening activities. These videos will hopefully educate viewers on stress and de-stress them as well!
