Are we selective in our observation?

Are we trained to observe differently? How?

Does our upbringing and cultures affect how we observe?

Ignoring certain observation does not mean that it doesn’t exist.

There are different approach to this assignment and after watching 10 other videos, I find that adaptability is one of the qualities that matters. Can our audience relate to the video or the message behind the video?

If we listen to the script and watch the visuals separately, it contains its own message. The skill here is the ability to blend different forms of media into one video. the visuals, audio, script and editing.

It is like making a good cup of coffee, the ability to  pull a good espresso shot, not too coarse and not too fine and frothing milk at the right temperature( between 50-70 degrees). Pour the milk into the shots so that our customer can enjoy a good cup of coffee.

After watching my own work a couple times, it could be done a lot better.

I spent most of my time finding the right footage to fit my voice over but I should have spent the same amount of  time editing and figuring out the pace of the video. After watching Cameron’s work, I realised I could have explored more in editing and Nora’s work, I could have explored more in scripting- the perspective of the object.

Now I understand why we were instructed to spend 25 mins for each section to draft our script in the first place. we should also spend more time crafting and exploring how we should work on different forms of media.

Every process is equally important. I harvested some good coffee beans but I’ve spent lesser time crafting on my skills on the coffee machine.
