Process

For the process of our video myself,Justin and Ava set up to meet in D030 in the lecture room to record our video there as there was equipment in the room (microphones and a projector board). We then talked about how we would lay out our video by first giving an insight on what our topic for the mapping was to be. We decided to choose a road trip documentary called an Idiot Abroad which focused on a comedian named Karl Pinklington who was to visit the seven wonders of the world and document is visits. We decided to treat the video like a late show interview as theses shows were perfect as they would cover details but not too much which was good as our video was to be 5 mins long quick and detailed. I myself was to be the host and ask the questions; Justin and Ava were to be the ones who created the story map using the website StoryMap Knightlab. Justin and myself started first talking about what he used to create the Storymap, what the Storymap was based on or talked about and how they felt about their work. We then passed on to Ava where she discussed and showed off our Storymap and the design of it. We used Justin's phone to record the whole video, we didn't take different videos each time we made a mistake so that it would be easier while editing just to find the certain points. We used Adobe Premiere Pro to edit our video and took most of our background noises as Mp4.

Purpose
The purpose of our work was to show off how the video was made, how the video would relate to the topic we pick and show team-work. Our process mainly came from our video while making it as we tried to tackle obstacles that would make the video longer and that's not what we were aiming for as we needed to be a maximum of 5 mins. The purpose was not to dicuss mapping but rather make a video that would demonstrate vividly "What Mapping is"? also show off your editing in the video to demonstrate the use of audio , narration and a back track. What I had to watch out for mostly in this was time management as it would effect the overall editing and from the previous two projects that is what affected me the most in my work. Of course the main thing was to show off the storymap of An Idiot Abroad and give details on season 1 of the show understand how the map works and each feature like the text box, where to add media and the design of the map.

Reflection
After finishing off our video I was really happy how it turned out there were a few errors such as misplacement of audio we had to fix but couldn't cause of time-wise. I felt like a gained more experience in editing on Premiere Pro and how to actually edit a video. I was happy with how we performed as a team myself, Justin and Ava as we all felt that the video was able to give an understanding of mapping. Although we had top pass the maximum time of the video 5 mins and it became a 7 min as we had to add more clips in to show off the storymap even longer. The storymap I was most proud of as it showed off good information and background to the show An Idiot Abroad which was the goal of the project.
