Video Assessment Task #1
- Myself (Sangeeta)
- Zeenia
- Vera
- Rowena
Our task was to create a video and the only limit was that it had to be instructional. There was also a time limit in which we had to create it and the duration was 3-5 minutes. We had come up with a few ideas such as the following:
- How to make cupcakes
- How to bake a cake
- How to train your dog
- How to get ready for a party
- How to play basketball
The first two were mainly my ideas but nobody seemed too thrilled about doing that. Vera suggested training her dog but we thought that that might involve too much hassle. Zeenia, Rowena and Vera were very eager to do an instructional video on "How to prepare for a party". I, however, was quite against it as I felt that we could come up with something better. They wanted to get two people who could act as models or the people preparing for the party, and apply make up and other such things on their faces. I voted to film most of it as I wasn't overly excited about participating in the make up part, however I was voted to be one one of the models.
I hope to start working on the storyboard and have it finished by the end of next week or the beginning of the next. I plan to have the Gantt Chart to be completed in the near future, so that we have an idea of what we are doing and how we can manage our time. I am quite excited about this project and hope to have an excellent finished product!

I have used many effects including the equalizer and the compressor to produce even sounds. I have also changed the speed to achieve a chipmunk sort of voice. At the beginning of the song, I have used the 'wahwah' effect with which the sound is thrown back and forth between both speakers (stereo). The beginning and end also fade in and fade out.
I am quite pleased with my creation, even if it is a bit long!
