Tutorial Four and Five: Video Production Sessions

Task One: Follow instructions and work in a small group to plan and produce and edit a 30 second short.

Task Two: Set up a U Tube account

Task Three: Follow instructions to posting your video on U Tube.

Task Four (Blog Posting): Provide a brief summary of the services offered by U Tube. Information can be drawn from the week five tutorial hand out.

You tube is a video sharing website where users can upload, view and share video clips. Any one can log on and watch most videos on the site. You need to register to be able to watch certain videos such as clips with adult content which you also have to be 18 years old to do. If you want to upload a video then you need to log in or register to create an account. Wirth this account you can save your favorite videos and share with other users.

Task Five (Blog Posting): Provide a brief account (1-2 paragraphs) on how the use of planning (storyboarding and scripting aided your groups short film.


Storyboarding is a series of drawings of the proposed film. It was really useful in planning our short video for this task. Because working in a group meant that everyone had different ideas it was helpful to plan out what was going into it and being able to estimate the time it would take. Knowing where we had to go and what to film for each part saved time and kept us on task.

We planned six drawings of what we wanted in out short film which included a montage of photographs and a short video of us at the end playing in the balloons. Although in the spare of the moment we did take some extra photos it was great to look back at our storyboard to see where and what we were doing next.
