Successful Video for Gabby

                 For my video I decided to document Southern’s Symphonic Pulse Dance Company’s first performance this year with its new members including me! I wanted to capture the team in action so I thought recording us dancing would show what were really about. Overall I thought my video turned out well. I used iMovie and in my video I put in the performance cut into sections that went along with what each dancer being interviewed was saying. I interviewed four members of the team to get their perspective on what SPDC is, what we do and what it means to them. I thought they gave excellent answers and really captured what the team is all about. I also included a personal reflection at the end of the video of my opinion on the team.

                If I were to compare this video assignment to my last one, I would say that it is much better than the last one. I have never made short movies like this before and I think my first video was just me getting my feet wet. In other words my last video was me experimenting and trying things out. I learned a lot since that last video project on what and what now to with making a movie. Some of these tips included

1. Try to not use Windows Movie Maker, try and find access to a mac.   
2. Do not play your whole interviews of people, split them up if they are too long
3.   Music is nice to add it gives the video a more upbeat feeling instead of just dragging on
4.  Try and find topics that not everyone is using, be different
5. If you are going to put text in your video make sure you give the viewer enough time to read it
