EDLD 5363 – Week 4 and 5 Reflection

During the final two weeks of the course, our collaborative video project was completed.  AS a group we worked together to create and finish our video.  From our script and shot list we were able to shoot our video.  I took video of my father’s bee hive to accumulate the majority of the video footage.  I also, took video of my garden, a local farm field, and bumble bees.  Jennifer Wilkin Colvin took footage of herself placing honey into tea and Lisa Breaux recorded additional footage of bumble bees.  Lisa Breaux recorded the narration audio for the project.  I recorded bees bussing to add to the video.  Michelle Tidwell, Jennifer Wilkins Colvin, and Lisa Breaux did the majority of the editing of the video footage I recorded.  They cut the clips down and synched them to the narration by Lisa.  The shot list and script was also refined in these weeks.  Once the final video was competed, I did a slight adjustment of the background music and uploaded it to YouTube.  The process was very educational, especially the use of WeVideo.  It was a great site to use for the purpose of collaboration because we could all upload our video and audio resources to one place and all work on the project together.  As a whole, my group worked well together and we were able to easily complete our project ahead of schedule and complete the remainder of our group based activities for the week.
