1. How does the video relate
to your blog?
We went out to the streets of Macquarie University and asked
students their view and opinions on different TV shows, common movies and
entertainment around Sydney. The video relates to the blog as it focuses on
entertainment in and around Sydney which is the main topic of our blog. We
found that it was interesting to find out the thoughts of various different
people with different personalities all around the campus as we all have a deep
interest in the topic of entertainment. All our group members feel that the
video strongly relates to the blog as it clearly reflects the topic of
entertainment.

The process of creating
the video.
Firstly, we had to discuss many different ideas for the video within
our group; this was a challenge due to everyone having contrasting opinions. We
finally decided on the video being about interviewing various people around
Macquarie University, seeking for answers and opinions on new entertainment
content. Once the idea for the video was finalised we had to move on to the
filming stage. Once all the appropriate footage was filmed, the next step was
the editing process. Editing was the main challenge but once the editing was
out of the way and to a high standard we then moved on to the submission of the
video on YouTube to get marked. Everyone had different opinions about which
editing software was the most appropriate and research was conducted to choose
the software that fit best. Filming was a complicated task as a few of our
group members were camera shy and embarrassed to approach random people and ask
about their opinions on entertainment.

The challenges in making the video.
The challenge in making the video was organising a suitable time to
film that fit all our group members. Another challenge was coming up with a
suitable idea for the video as the topic of entertainment is very broad which
opened up many options for our group. Filming all the right footage was a
challenge due to the lack of available equipment that our group could use for
the filming aspect of the video. We finally decided that the Samsung Galaxy S3
was the right device for filming as the quality of the camera was the most
suitable. Editing the video was another challenge due to none of our members
being very familiar with Windows Movie Maker which led to a lot of discussion
about who was going to initially undergo with the editing process. All in all,
the whole process of creating the video was enjoyable however it was difficult
getting peoples’ consent to be shown in our video due to privacy concerns.
