  1. My video included all the conventions of a classic Christmas video. I included an opening scene of a fully decorated tree. I displayed an array of ornaments and decorations. My decorations were more spiritual and holy oriented rather that Saint Nick. I displayed Christmas scriptures connected to the birth of Christ. I included the sense of togetherness by shooting scenes with me and my mother. I added a sense of warmth by changing the lighting throughout my video. I included holiday activities such as dressing in Christmas pajamas and drinks hot chocolate.  2. My video is a clam Christmas video that is reminiscent of good times. I hope it shows my audience what Christmas and the holidays should look and feel. 3. My production and camera movement improve throughout my project. Instead of still camera shots I tired a variety of camera angles and movement. For my opening scene, I choses to do a zoom out of the Christmas tree. I hoped that the slow zoom out of the tree would ...

                                                               I really enjoyed this project for many reasons. Firstly, it's my favorite time of the year , Christmas. I'm also in love with holiday music. I knew from the moment the project was presented that I would do a song from Pentatonix. I love Pentatonix Christmas album and know every song. I chose silent night because it one of my favorites. I also chose silent night specifically for its slow tempo. I wanted a song slow enough so I could show all my figurines in detail.

I chose to do a cute snippet of me and my mom rocking our heads back and forth. That was my favorite clip in the video. Me and mom had to re-record 4 times because we couldn...

Editing my video was not as much of a task as it was to make it. I ended up have to use two software platforms to complete it in its entirety. The first platform being an app called video editor. The app is free and it allows you to compile clips to make videos. The app is free and is accessible on mobile devices. This worked perfect for me because I recorded my clips whit my phone camera. To have to move all my clips to a computer was time consuming last time. The software is simple and easy to use which is why I like it. One of its down falls is that you have to pre-cut clips before hand to your liking. It also leaves a company watermark on all videos made on the software. I did have to go back and chop it down due to the time. It was a bit tricky to get it down to exactly one minute. It was either over or under one minute. The other software I used was iMovie. I used this solely for the voice over. I had to record the music with the app and apply it over my video. The voice over was...
