The great thing about technology is that it always surprises you with something you’ve never expected.
Like, I have never ever made a single video in my entire life because I used to think that it would be too difficult for me. I have never shoot a video, not to mention to cut, to edit, to add voiceover or background music to a video. However, better software comes out almost every day. With these improved programs, creating a video by non-professional is not as difficult as it was a couple years ago.
Having the chance to create a video on my own makes me feel that:
1) Amazingly, I am capable of making a video *0* And it tempts me to do more. Right now, I am planning to make a music video of one of my favourite songs. With lyrics, and with pictures of the singer, things like that… It could be very popular on Youtube! Who knows? Everything is possible! XD
2) The improvements on the programs year after year might be one of the factors contributing to the overwhelming videos on social networking sites. It is just my wild guess. But it could be real since all these video-editing programs have been simplified to suit the public. They are more user-friendly than before. So idiot like me can make video too.
3) Sharing becomes more diversified. Before the invention of computers, or the internet, people showed photos, objects, or just talked to others to achieve the purpose of sharing. Now, with the prevalence of videos, people can share everything and it is easy. People shared unforgettable moments in their life with others in the past. What about now? They can share music, photos, opinions and small bits of life all in one video. Online sharing is effortless, more people turn to this channel.
……
Well, of course, whether online sharing is good or not, it would be another issue.
What do you think, is it good or bad if people rely too much on online sharing? I will be more than happy to discuss with you.
I think I am slowly out of track here. But, no worries. Let's take a look at our group's (Anthony, Raymond and I) video when it was at the very beginning stage and it was still rough.
And here is the final version of our video!
I like your video Rita! It's nice, simple yet relaxing:) Video making is way much easier than we think! Thanks to the technological improvement of the video making software, i can also make a quite nice video^^ I think it also creates another way for us to express our feeling in a creative way. Without these software, we might probably have only written or picture format documents!
ReplyDeleteI also appreciate the user-friendliness of the software, normal people can express our love and feelings in a better way. I still remember my friend gave a video clip about our memories before she leave for overseas study:) We can hardly make one without these new media tools!
Well done on creating your first video! Next time perhaps you could either include a voiceover, or make the text a bit clearer, so the message is very clear. I was a little bit confused by the clip that you added at the beginning and wasn't sure what that added to the overall message. I agree with Joey - the music is very relaxing (don't forget to add credits at the very end!).
