Creating the Capstone VideoGive us an honest appraisal (venting?) of your journey around trying to produce your Capstone Project video. How did you decide what editor you might use? What problems did you encounter? How did you solve them? The intent is open a useful discussion that can help raise the bar for everyone.
I am finding this process of creating a video for the capstone project both exciting and daunting at the same time. The creative side of me loves the idea of creating something but I also find it daunting knowing I haven't really had any experience with video production. I'm trying hard to maintain a positive growth mindset through this experience! I feel that the videos we reviewed this week contained more of the things I don't want to include in mine. Simple seems best - the choppy transitions, flashy graphics, and loud music were very distracting to me and I'm not sure I was able to focus on the messages. I am still very much in the pre-production phase of the process in trying to determine the style of my video - will it contain photos of my students, stock photos, graphics, icons or possibly a combination of the above? I think once I have that part figured out, it will make it easier to determine which video editor may best fit my vision and needs. I am also finding the writing of the script to be more challenging than I expected. I am working now to narrow down what it is I want to convey in those 90 seconds and realizing at the same time, how much thought, research, collecting of images, and the learning curve of a new process is going to take!

Definitely a lot of mixed emotions surrounding this project! I wonder if looking at images at the same time as you write your script draft might help you determine the style/tone? Sometimes I have found I have been inspired by a certain image and it helped me find the direction I was struggling to put into words. Looking at the Capstone Video requirements has also been helpful because to me the assessment criteria was slightly different than the storyboard/media resources we have been exploring. Glad we are on this road together!

Our posts are very similar! I am also finding this task exciting, but overwhelming. I also think I'm leaning towards a more simple design for my video. I felt like the background music and all the special effects were too distracting from the topic that was being presented.
