For my video project, I took inspiration from videos I have seen on YouTube in the past. I was specifically drawn to videos where there is a voiceover that describes what is happening in each frame of the video to effectively tell a story. I wanted to show what a typical night is for me when I don’t want to eat any of the food that I have in my apartment. I thought this would be a fun and interesting way to bring in my topic of food reviews into a story format.

In the video I explain each part of the meal at La Casa Lopez, while the video footage gives the audience the visuals to picture the atmosphere better. I show a progression throughout the meal and the emotions that I am feeling each step of the way. For my original draft, I did a voiceover of the step by step experience of my meal to add some humor to the video as well as setting the scene.

This format was well received by the group members in the feedback assignment, but they did have some suggestions for improvement. This included adding music and text. Listening to their suggestions, I used a copyright free audio from YouTube music studios as well as text at the end of the video. I think these additions helped the video overall have a more complete design.

A suggestion that I did not take was changing the lighting in the video to be more cohesive. I think due to my inexperience with this program, I wasn’t able to adjust the lighting to match quite right and it ended up looking worse than it did before. That is a skill that I will have to develop later.
