Tutorials 4 & 5: Video Production Sessions



YouTube is a video sharing website on which users can upload and share videos. Three former PayPal employees created YouTube in February 2005.[1] In November 2006, YouTube, LLC was bought by Google Inc. for $1.65 billion, and is now operated as a subsidiary of Google. The company is based in San Bruno, California, and uses Adobe Flash Video technology to display a wide variety of user-generated content video content, including movie clips, TV clips, and music videos, as well as amateur content such as video blogging and short original videos. Most of the content on YouTube has been uploaded by individuals, although media corporations including CBS, the BBC, UMG and other organizations offer some of their material via the site, as part of the YouTube partnership program.[2]

Unregistered users can watch the videos, while registered users are permitted to upload an unlimited number of videos. Videos that are considered to contain potentially offensive content are available only to registered users over the age of 18. The uploading of videos containing defamation, pornography, copyright violations, and material encouraging criminal conduct is prohibited by YouTube's terms of service. The account profiles of registered users are referred to as "channels".[3]

For our short film, Monkey VS Kangaroo, we used planning to aid in the filming of it. To begin with, we had a group discussion on what we wanted the theme of our short film to be. We then tried to plan out the shots on a scrap piece of paper to ensure that our shots were concise and informative enough. Then, a member of our group took our planning and drew a story-board, showing how each shot would start, with a caption under each one, describing what would take place in the shot.

Once filming began, we referred to our storyboard to begin filming, but made a few changes as we went, once we realised how we could film it even more effectively. All things considered, mostly our short film went to plan, and was very similar to our initial plan in the first group discussion.
