Title: Mood Video - "What's Our Mood?
Frantic!"
Course: Video Technology 105
Date Created: March 2003
Source: Group Project with Sara Crow
and Laura Vinson. Each of us prepared a
video clip. Sara developed the script.
Laura edited the sound. I was the Producer
and put everything together, including the web
pages.
Media: Microsoft FrontPage, Adobe
GoLive, MGI VideoWave, Tsunami Pro
Description: This was a group project.
Our first task was to assign roles to each group
member, then determine the mood we wished to
portray. Each group member was then
assigned to either find or film a video clip
that represented the mood we selected.
Sara then developed our script using information
we provided, and Laura selected and edited the
background music. I produced the final
video using all our clips plus the audio.
Finally, I developed a basic site to present the
video, then uploaded everything to the server
for evaluation.
Rationale: I selected this project
because I believe it represents, at least for
me, overcoming a number of obstacles to achieve
something pretty impressive. The task of
compiling & producing video seemed daunting at
first, but we managed to establish and follow
our roles very well. For my own clip, I
elected to film it firsthand, because I couldn't
find any clips that were suitable and because I
wanted the experience of using my camcorder to
capture video digitally. As for the actual
production, I tried to be methodical, first
cutting the video into pieces that flowed well
and fit the time limit, then adding subtle
transitions, then layering the music. For
the website, I kept the overall look simple, but
I decided to created a couple of animated GIFs
for some visual interest.
Implications for future: Again, this
was a daunting task that turned out to be a
worthwhile learning experience. I found
that group work online, while challenging, is
not impossible. I also learned that my
video production skills have remained strong
since VisionIT, in spite of many months between
the two. This project has made me more
excited about the next major assignment in
TATC Video, which will be a music video. I
want to develop, from scratch, a highly refined,
professional-quality video. Later on, I'm
intrigued at the possibility of producing video
with more advanced tools, such as Adobe Premier.
Reviewers Comments:
Very
nice project!!! Your video clearly communicated
a feeling of panic and struggling to survive.
The different videos that you picked and the
music you used fit together nicely to convey the
mood. Good job!

Artifact #14
Descriptors: Video Technology
Title: "If I Had $1,000,000" - Music
Video
Course: 105 Video Technology
Date Created: April 2003
Source: Individual Project
Media: MGI VideoWave 2.0
Description: This video was the
culmination of a lengthy project. The
project itself required us to plan a timeline
for the production of the video and lay out a
storyboard of the video's progression. We
were then required to develop the video, either
through original footage or existing footage
from another source. The video was to be
of "music video" style, meaning we were required
to match our footage to the song we selected.
Once produced, our video would need to be
converted to WMV format for streaming from the
Region XI server. We were also required to
develop a web page promoting the musician(s)
featured on the audio, including links to our
storyboard & timeline. The web page is not
available here but can be viewed in Standard 1.
This artifact links directly to the video.
Rationale: I selected "If I Had
$1,000,000," by Barenaked Ladies, a Canadian pop
group most famous for the hit, "One Week."
The song is folksy and fairly funny. I
wanted to use music that had a humorous quality,
and this fit perfectly. I intended to
shoot all the video myself, because I wanted to
practice the process of video capture. I
also wanted to make use of the MiniDV camcorder
I purchased last fall. I shot virtually
all the video footage within about 5 miles of my
home, then edited it and produced it on my home
computer. I included it in my portfolio
because I think it shows competence in the area
of digital video. It's not
broadcast-quality, by any means--some scenes
don't match exactly to the music, for example,
and it's a little choppy due to the compression.
However, it fits together solidly, and I was
particularly pleased with my ability to create
the video footage from scratch.
Implications for future: Video was
quite possibly the most fun of the TATC courses,
especially this project. It was a lot of
work, but I learned much from it, which is the
whole point. After completing this video,
I was able to see areas in which I excel and
areas in which I am behind. I also
appreciated (after it was over, of course) the
experience of planning out the production from
start-to-finish. It was quite valuable in
giving me a better perspective as to how one
might create a good video, as
opposed to shooting lots of random footage and
hoping it fits together somehow.
Reviewer Comments:
"Your video was very well planned. All of the
shots were in the same perspective and that
added a lot. I loved the shots of you looking at
the Lotto ticket and in the refrigerator. Your
video went very well with the video and your web
page complimented your final product. Good
work!"

"Peter, What a great video! I have to admit,
I had never heard of BNL and wondered . . . . .
what was up with that? But the song's cute and
your video is perfect. Good camera work and good
job matching your lyrics up to your shots. The
website is very subdued and proper--just like
the artists, I'm sure. Very creative."
