How to Create a Successful Video

Overall, this project took me a week to complete. I managed my time well and spaced out when I would do interviews. I think that helped me with the finished product because by being organized it was easier to complete this project and I had a lot of time to complete it. I think my video came out well, although I had to use windows movie maker because I have a pc it still came out nice. I decided to make my video about all of what goes into declaring a major.

 I asked a wide range of students who either knew their major or did not know at first to get different perspectives for my video. I also incorporated professor’s views in my video to show an adult’s perspective since they have already gone through the whole process themselves. With different ages and majors I thought it would provide my video with a good balance providing all different answers. The reason for that is because everyone is different and some things may apply to one student that may not apply to another.  My goal was to hopefully help out a student in guiding them into choosing a major. I also did this topic to help myself as well. By listening to all the answers students and professor’s provided me with it helped me in deciding how I should choose my major.

The conclusions reached after I asked each question to students and professors, their answers were very similar to ones that I would say. I videotaped all student interviews and from there I was able to listen to their answer and draw the conclusion they made along with one I made from their answer as well. I balanced the material they gave me in the interviews with my own voice well. I was able to make many conclusions from the questions I asked. My overall conclusion was: Deciding what major to pursue in college can be very challenging but as long as you research the major and find an interest in it then you should go ahead and pursue it.
