For our first maker project this year we did four videos: what inspires me video, silent video, TikTok video and investigative video. The first one we did was the what inspires me video and i found this one the most fun and engaging one to edit and make. The reason I found it engaging is because it is easy to talk about yourself and the things you do and like. For this project we learned how to edit and make good videos, I personally think it was a good idea to have this video as the first because people put lots of work into it and learned how to use their editing apps very well.

The second video we did was a Tiktok style video and from doing this one i learned how to match the video with music and use a lot of cool features on CapCut like text to speech and transitions. This was the one I enjoyed the second most when filming and editing because i didnt need to go many places and got all my shots at Seycove. If I did this video again I wouldn’t change much about it.

The third video I completed was the ocean silent video. Making this video was fun but it took longer, I needed more revisions and it was harder to do because we had to do it with groups but I just did it my self with my group as actors. While making this video I used a water line filter to mimic the ocean and it looked really realistic, so I will definitely use that filter again if I need it. This project really thought me to lead and cooperating with group mates as a leader.If I would do this video again I would get more shots so that the story is more apparent video link: https://youtube.com/shorts/WxudwzCKhqc?feature=shared
The investigative video was the hardest video for me, but it was fun to edit and I felt really good when I handed it in. Interviewing and finding people to interview was the hardest part but after that editing it was easier. I improved my skills in asking questions and gained confidence in talking to people by myself. I tried to make my video different and include an aspect about myself and my answer to the question and I feel like it worked out very well Video link: https://youtu.be/6Yu0kAA8Zq8?feature=shared
Working on these videos was a great learning experience, my editing skills have greatly improved. I love working on videos and I am exited for future video projects
