What not to put in a microwave from Troy on Vimeo.

For project 3 our aim was to explore the instructional elements of our previous videos and see how they can be presented in different forms. For this video I adopted a linear approach, that is listing all of the items that should not be placed in a microwave. This was effectively done with me talking to the camera and then jump cuts of various items being placed into the microwave. I made this video as a start point for the direction in which I wanted to head towards in this project. In the previous project I used more of a linear approach in creating the videos. I then started in a similar fashion with this video and in subsequent video I want to try and explore different ways in which to present the same information using different methods, media and technologies. The key thing I have discovered which is necessary when creating/producing a successful instructional video is to have a simple idea where steps are involved and to present them clearly. The viewer is capable of filling the blanks as long as they are aware of what is being presented or implied to them.
