Introduce your video work in relation to responding to the conceptual brief and the guidelines on form.
The main concept of the video is about ‘Space and time for contemplation beyond our everyday life’ and is keep thinking of: comparing different and similar of the ocean and COVID-19. The detail of the concept please refer to Reflection 4 (Link Addresses: http://www.mediafactory.org.au/yuyangan/2020/08/16/PV-reflection-4/). COVID-19 is a long war that happens on our earth, not one know when it will end. As my word content mentions about: “The time that my journey takes is long and the way of it long”. The moving-image slide is a good way to present my content and special design. From the beginning, the first image is filled 100%, after that is gradually less filled, for example,80%, 70%. This design is relating to my personal hope, COVID-19 case can be reduced.
What did you learn from the authoring and publishing process?
This week working process is quite interesting, the final work is presenting as a moving-image slide, not as usual. luckily, I did learn some new things, especially the technical aspect. Instagram carousel is a function on this platform, it lets the users post up to 10 images or video as 1 swipeable carousel. Like the basic function, carousel also can edit up 10 images or video separately or with a single filter apply on everything.
What went well? / What did not go well?/What could you do better?
In order to learn how to create the moving-image slide on the Instagram carousel, I go for the internet to check the tutorial, most of the people are using Adobe Photoshop software and online services. But some graphic experts are through more than one picture processing software to reach their perfect objective. For this time, I am following the public choosing Adobe Photoshop to create. First, I need to create one layout of 24800 x 2480 and then set 10 new guidelines to separate them as 10 equal images. After the setting, is just place the image as whatever you want and crop size of 2480 x 2480 of each and save it as JPG. The last step is to Airdrop to my phone and upload to Instagram.
How do the affordances of Instagram affect the way video content is authored？
Many people use Instagram filter to editing the video colour, it did affect and advance the video content. But from other aspects, it will not affect the way video content is authored. The reason has followed: people create video content is through the phone camera, and Instagram can not do any editing effect only the filter can advance the quality, but not enough. This is just my personal idea, and still working on this question.
In conclusion, I did learn some new thing from the working process of this week. Although is not about video editing, but also useful to me.
