Into to Digital Media, Mission 2 - YouTubing (Presentation)

I decided to create a YouTube compilation, as that was our community for our YouTube channel. My compilation was going to be of “fast workers”. As I did a compilation of fast workers the other two people in my group did a “Fails Compilation” and a “Beauty” Compilation. I used a software called “Final Cut Pro” to edit my YouTube video. This was an easy enough to use software as it came pre- installed on the Mac Book. It was also very easy to use.  It was a very useful software as you just had to drop the video into the timeline and then use could do anything to the clips. Cut parts out of it, add music, add graphics, split and merge clips together and then finally preview and export it to any social media (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube).  Then we had upload every video to YouTube. This was a very easy process because YouTube guides you on every step. Although it can take a few minutes to an hour to render the video it’s an important step because this will give your video better quality, stop buffering and create no lag. Even though it will take a while you could go away and do something else while you’re waiting. After the video is 100% rendered, it brings you to another page. On this page you have to give your video a title, description, cite sources you used and set an age limit to it. The editing and research took up most of the time, meanwhile the uploading stage was the easiest part.

After all the videos were created we had to get to work  on the PowerPoint presentation. We used Microsoft PowerPoint to make this, not only because it was simple but also because it was on every computer in the school. For this we decided we would each have the same number of slides each. We had 12 slides including the slide based on each one of our videos. This meant we would each have 4 slides to present. This would be fair as we all had the same amount of slides to talk about. We decided we would each choose three from the topics: Historical moments, history, our channel analytics in comparison to a bigger channel, genres, and the biggest trend of each year from the beginning of YouTube. As well as the three other slides we would talk about we had our own slide focused completely on our YouTube video. For this slide we would talk about the research of the videos, the software we used, the editing process and the uploading process.  After that we would have to answer any questions anyone would have. We were meant to make the presentation last eight minutes max. But instead we ended up getting twelve minutes. This would have been avoided if we had rehearsed more before we presented our project. The sources we would use for research was: Social Blade, YouTube, Wikipedia and Google images. We referenced all this in the presentation.
