Production Report

Hi guys!  My production week posts are going up a little late due to being gone in Panama, but, alas here they are!

Audience Questions 

1)  How did you decide to use form to present your content in the raw material you’ve shared here? How did the conventions of your chosen genre influence your choices?
  • I decided to into a video form to use in the video essay genre.  However, I have chose to incorporate not only interview, but also use video examples of dance and use voice over in order to better describe the conventions and nature of each example. I find that dance lends itself particularly well to fill (it is a visual performing art), and to not use video of it and the gesture it employs would be silly.

2)  How did the production of this raw material go? What kinds of any hiccups, challenges, successes, creative epiphanies, etc. occurred during the process?
  • Honestly the video process hasn't been super successful so far.  I have had difficulty structuring the clips exactly how I want them (even though everyone says iMovie is super easy). My biggest challenge has been trying to figure our how to have my voice talking about something and then having enough video to actually fill that time.  I feel like most of my content is so raw and rough, that frankly I haven't had many epiphanies yet. With the time I've had, I feel like it's mostly just been a struggle to finagle with iMovie.
