Task Four (Blog Posting): Provide a brief summary of the services offered by U Tube. Information can be drawn from the week five tutorial hand out.
You Tube is a website where users can upload, view and share videoclips. The service allows you to watch and/or display a wide variety of different types of video clips like movie clips, tv clips, music videos, and original home movies etc. You can also 'videoblog'.
Unregistered users can watch most videos on the site, and registered users can upload an unlimited number of videos. Some videos are available only to users of age 18 or older (e.g. videos containing potentially offensive content).
Related videos appear onscreen to the right of a given video. You can post feedback to the clips and also subsribe to content specific feeds (eg Britney Spears).
Task Five (Blog Posting): Provide a brief account (1-2 paragraphs) on how the use of planning (storyboarding and scripting aided your groups short film.
We did not storyboard or script in a traditional sense, as our clip was more documentary -style. We verbally brainstormed what we wanted to do in our clip: who was to do what and where we wanted to go. We didn't feel the need to draw it out on a story board. On tape our actor discussed the disabled toilets pros and cons without a rehearsed script, just improvisation.
If you were making fictional film or role play, I can definately see the benefits of scripting and storyboarding, but not so much for documentary making. Maybe have a list of things you wanted to get across to the viewer, but a script is too rehearsed and flat. And maybe use storyboarding if it was going to be a long documentary.
