Tonight my group and I met for our collaborative work. I’d have to say that everything went really well!! We came prepared with a script, props, and equipment. I noticed over the past couple of days that…like writing, it is hard to come up with a good script that flows well and gets the point across. It’s also hard coming up with something that will keep the audience’s attention. Luckily, another group member provided us with a really great script. Working together on the script was much like editing a paper. We had to make sure that the script made sense, that the lines were in the right places, and that every line was coherent with the point of the video. Editing the video could easily be compared to editing a piece of writing. Omitting needless words is much like omitting scenes or bits of video that don’t really add anything, or perhaps do not make sense. Like a piece of writing, where words and sentences need to be clear, the actors of the video also need to be clear in the way that they speak, and the words that they use.
Making this video was perhaps a bit more fun than writing, just because it allowed for more creativity, but it felt very similar to revising and creating a writing piece. There is a significant connection between writing and technology, and this project proves that the two go hand in hand.
