STORY ANALYSIS

There were many steps that we had to take whilst making our video. We took all of them carefully and implemented them proficiently. Firstly we chose a phone camera because we believed that it was extremely convenient and portable. Then we had to come up with a plan
Initially we had a bunch of plans (some were silly):
· Things to do when people got bored
· Cyber bullying
· How to knit
Then we decided to do bullying as ii is a constant issue around high schools. When choosing this we knew that we knew that it was going to be especially challenging because we had to do all of the shooting at school as it was related to school bullying. But all of our hard work had paid off at the end of the producing the video.
The video is started with writing which states “The act of bullying” followed by an introduction of the bullies. The mischievous acts of the bullies towards the victim keep the audience in suspense as they are waiting to be instructed. Then the host informs the audience about bullying. “Here is a way to be assertive” clarifies the audience’s suspense. Then our background research and knowledge shines when you look at the “BULLYING NO WAY” site. The victim then stands up for herself and soon the bullies back away.
Our video consists of comic elements:
· The song “how could you be so heartless” when the victim is bullied.
· “IT ACTUALLY WORKED” after the victim becomes assertive.
· The bloopers at the end of the video.
In conclusion, I would like to say that our video had instructed people on how to be assertive, had entertained them by having comic elements and had displayed the research that we had gone through. Our effort has been rewarded by, I believe, our final piece of work.

Sample video

This is a video I made through Windows Movie Maker.

There are many tools that make producing a video very simple.

Take the "QUICK MOVIE" button for an example. If you add pictures and videos and just press that button, random transitions can be made for you! This is really convenient.

You also have a range of transitions to choose from- dissolve, ripple and fade are just some examples.

The "ADD MUSIC" button lets you add a background music track to your video.

I had made my own music track through editing it in audacity. the music is blissful at the beginning but turns quirky towards the end.
