My midterm
video project was on the athletic training program. I decided to video tape the
athletic trainers in the Moore Field House athletic training room helping
injured athletes. I videotaped myself to try and make it come from a personal
point of view. It was hard to videotape myself doing the exercises so I
videotaped other athletes who did the same exercises as myself.
I believed
I fulfilled the requirements of the topic greatly. My video time was 5 minutes
and 31 seconds. I didn’t want to make the video too long and have my midterm
drag out but I also didn’t want to make my video too short so that I couldn’t
put all the information I needed into my video. I have 3 students of all
different ages in my video, Jaime is a sophomore, Lauren is a freshman and
Julie is a senior who is soon to graduate with her athletic training degree. I
also videotaped 1 professor so that the audience watching my video could get
the perspective from a professor’s point of view.
I believed
that I had a very well put together beginning and middle. In the beginning I
stated what I was talking about then showed myself walking from the dorm to the
Moore Field House. I did this to inform everyone watching my video how to get
there but also to lead them to what I am about to talk about. The only thing I
wish I did better with my beginning was not have my hand as shaky and not have
video taped myself walking their at 6am so that people would be able to see
where I was. The beginning I spoke about the exercises I did and why I did
them. I threw some video interviews in the middle to not allow my audience to
get bored or feel that they are only watching myself get fixed. That is why I
videotaped Jaime and Lauren two injured softball players who spoke about their
injuries and how they were able to fix their injuries. The end of my video
could have been better put together. The only thing I had for my ending was my
athletic training professor’s interview and a soon to be athletic trainer. I
put them at the end of my video to talk about their feelings about athletic
training and their personal experiences with it. If I could add to this video I
would put at the end of my video the athletic training door closing in slow
motion while zooming in to the sign on the door that says athletic training
room instead of just the title slide I made that says “The End”.
I think I
got the video done in a good amount of time with the dilemma I had in the
athletic training room with the video tapping and I also had to switch
computers so that I was able to use iMovie. IMovie was a little confusing to
use at first but after I played around with it a little bit it was extremely
easy to use. I think I told the story very well and kept everyone informed and
interested also. I had the video and then explained in text what I was doing
either before or after the clip was being shown to help the views know what is occurring.
I believe
that I should receive an A on this project. I believe that I followed all the requirements,
had a good time for my video and I handed it in on time. The only thing that I think
is preventing my from getting an A+ is I can’t tell if I kept my viewers
interested. I was interested in my video but that’s because that is the job I want
to do for the rest of my life. It was difficult to try and keep them interested
in something they probably aren’t interested in because if they were they would
be majoring in athletic training. So I put two up beat songs that I know always
make me happy and bright colors in my text to try and keep the viewers
entertained and wanting to keep watching.
