I did not hesitate to choose Artificial Intelligence as my topic. In today’s society with rapid technological development, AI is applied in almost all fields. In this informative video, I mainly studied the positive and negative effects brought by AI of using some exapmles. Then discussed the anxiety even question whether AI will have threatening consequence. I want to use this video to help scholars who watched this, better understand its history, advantages and disadvantages of the current situation and carefully consider its future of AI.
To begin with it, I watched the video named “What is an informative video”. This made it clear to me that informative video purpose is to inform someone. We want to educate them on some new material. We want to provide them with history or context, give them a sense of why they’re learning this information now. After understanding the concept, I started to research some academic readings. I highly recommended the question and answer article named “What is Artificial Intelligence” for you, as a basic knowledge reserve. The author John McCarthy is one of the original scientists first coined and gave a definition of AI in 1956. Next, I wrote my plan in the Word document. After identified a few research directions and started filling in.
I use different colors to mark what I need to do. I read it through first to approximate the time and deleted something unnecessary.
Everything is ready, it is time to make video! I chose to record in my room because it provides a quiet and uninterrupted atmosphere. I tried different angles to make sure I was in the center of the lens while adjusting the lights. I recorded myself at the beginning and ending parts. Because I have already made two videos before, this time I was less nervous and reserved. I said some words like: “welcome”, “nice to see you again”, “thanks for watching” to close the distance with my audience. In addition, as for relate to the topic, I used a creative way of: “Oh, by the way, the device has just predicted that after watching this, you are welcome to give me a thumb up if you like it!” This made my video more relaxed and interesting. After finishing on-camera parts, I started to edit my video and collect all sources, then recorded audio. I started editing the images with license, followed by my video plan, put them into correct order. After that, I began recording the audio. I practiced the pronounce every time and listened to the pronounce which I was not sure. It was really difficult for me as an international student to make no pause and stammer, but I never give up, just tried and practiced more times to make a perfect one. In practice, I’ve found that the proximity of the mouth to the microphone is also a factor need to be pay attention, and if it’s too close, it creates noise. I spent all afternoon to finish this audio. What’s more, I edited some key words and texts into my video to give audience a better understanding. The last step was the combination of the music. I chose the same background music as previous videos so that to identify it is my channel.
The sources I used all licensed. Images picked from the Flickr and music from SoundCloud. In addition, I searched some academic articles and news which relate to my topic: Artificial Intelligence. Because it is an informative video and aims to educate viewers, I chose the material more carefully.
For this informative video task, I think the most difficult part is the content of your topic- how can you use materials to educate others, after watched my video what can you learn from it? Do you come up some new ideas of AI? Will you pay attention to this issue? If you say “YES!”, congratulate to myself, because that is my aim to this video. In order to achieve this target, I spend lots of time on the video plan. Immediately wrote down my new ideas through phone, laptop and paper that will not forget later.
I absolutely learned a lot through this video and the course of Making Video. I never think that I can make a video all by myself before! I learned how to edit with sources and film my self in a perfect angle shot. After three tasks, I am confident to face the camera and more skilled on making video. Thanks to myself for never give up and I am really proud of myself.
Through this unit, I not only learnt “learning from doing” and “learning never stops”, but also we need to “always be learning through social media.”
