I decided to use this section of the class to talk about my passion for cooking and baking. I chose to do a baking demonstration and I thought that cupcakes would be a great process to demonstrate since I believe it’s common knowledge that everyone loves cupcakes. I used the camera on my laptop and had a friend come over and aim the laptop at me while I was demonstrating each part of the cupcake baking and decorating process. I wasn’t sure how this would work out so I decided to film each part of the process in four separate pieces.
I chose to use a sort of “picture-in-picture” technique for the first film clips because I wanted the cupcake baking process to fit within the maximum amount of time we are allotted for these videos. I also chose to increase the speed/duration of each clip. The first two clips were increased to 175%, the third was increased to 125% and the fourth remains at the same speed in which it was shot.
I added some video effects to the front and back of each clip. I chose the additive dissolve effect for basically all of the clips except for the roll credit at the end of my video. I used Soundcloud to find a song with Creative Common License to accompany the audio interview I included of myself. I chose the song “Chocolate” by davidgee. I thought that the title of the song was more than fitting considering the topic I chose for this assignment.
For the audio interview I did of myself, I chose to talk about why I chose to do a baking demonstration for my video assignment, when I started baking/cooking, what I started baking/cooking, and why I started baking/cooking. I also included interview clips of myself talking about why I love baking/cooking now and what I think is the best thing about cooking/baking.
I wanted the music to accompany the video clips but I definitely wanted my audio interview to be the main audio focus so I added keyframes to the audio of the song and lowered and raised the volume of the music before and after each interview clip so it would appear to fade-out and fade-in, in time with my story.
I also chose to include a Still Title of what kind of cupcakes I was making during the sequence where I’m showing the first stage and second stage of the baking process that way those viewing the video would understand what I was making. I also chose to remove the still picture of the other cupcakes that I decorated during the baking portion of this assignment that I had included in my video draft. I felt that because I didn’t include footage of decorating those cupcakes, they didn’t fit in with the story the way I originally hoped they would.
Overall, I am very happy with how my video turned out. I had a lot of fun making the assignment, maybe the filming more than the editing of the film footage but overall the entire assignment was a lot of fun.
