Words Video

The purpose of this assignment was to create a word association video that would creatively communicate different words and different ways that words are used. We used short clips of different actions and happenings to show three different words. We tried to blend together the ends of the different words to make it less abrupt. We also tried to make the ending of the video less abrupt while still trying to keep the clips short. I think we managed to make the ending creative and effective.

One of the most important things I learned from this assignment was the importance of taking multiple shots of the same thing so that you can get the clip to turn out the way you want.  We also learned If you have a shot you can’t repeat very easily like when we broke the jar, you want to get it lined up and figured out the best you can before you start to try and make it perfect the first time around. Another thing that I learned was that the sound in the clips can help communicate the word. While originally we had thought about muting the clips we found that once it was put together the sound was actually very effective. In the end I think we liked how the video was simple clips but if we did it again we might play around in iMovie more.
