Compared with the first self-introduction video, the second video I want to delve int hot topics in today’s society. We are now in an era of rapid development of science and technology, with the advent of virtual reality technology, our life becomes colorful and interesting. Then, in order to integrate virtual reality into our life, science and technology scholars developed augmented reality, which can better improve our social emotion and life quality. For example, the popular game of the moment: Pokémon Go- it has a lot of positive effects. I want to use this video to talk to you about new technologies and the endless benefits they bring and to provide some ideas on how to improve this technology in the future.
I chose new realities without hesitation, because I am very interested in this and it is also a topic that attracts social attention. It develops so fast that it is applied in various fields. First, I went deep into virtual reality by searching for some academic articles and read several documents which made me better understand its history and current situation. While searching this topic, I found a talk event of VR in this year Melbourne International Film Festival named “What is Virtual reality”. I participated without doubt. I learnt a lot about VR from its history and current trend also its future. After that, I started to think about my video framework and wrote down into Word document.
I used different color markers to indicate whether this part is a recording or whether I need to insert text or pictures. Then I searched the Internet for some suitable photos, because there were many limitations in the selection of photos due to copyright concerns. I only selected one photo and music from the Internet and obtained copyright permission, and the other photos and video were all taken by myself. Although not very professional, but video angle is through my own ideas to shoot. Video editing is the most difficult task for me. I first studied the software which is relatively easy to edit. This blog of: “The 20 Best Video Editing Apps for 2019” that lists some popular video editing software, which I strongly recommend and share with you here. I downloaded the three mentioned above to compare which one is easier to edit and works best at the same time. Finally, I chose Videoleap, which is powerful. I put all the material in place by time, adding voice narration and text. This is not an easy task, I need to practice many times before there will be no pauses, probably every voice-over practice more than 10 times and finally choose a smooth own very satisfied with its sound quality.
I never thought that one day I could make a video all by myself from planning to editing. This is the first time and the challenges are many- I don’t know what video editing software to choose, how to edit, what content to put, how to convey to viewers and so on. I was really helpless and depressed. But only action can solve things. I encouraged myself to learn from the beginning step by step. Through learning and practice, I have mastered the basic video editing method, and I am extremely proud of myself and immediately share it with my family and friends, who are also proud of me.
– Little by little, a little becomes a lot!
