My Video
Information about my topic
In this video, I am talking about how getting involved in school extracurriculars leads to academic success. This is because it allows you to develop skills, attain a support network, and develop personal growth & confidence. In Alexander Astin‘s theory of student involvement, Astin discusses how doing extracurriculars lets you build relationships with the people around you on campus because that’s who you surround yourself with. Morris Rosenberg talks about how personal confidence is developed by surrounding yourself with people who care about you which then makes you feel better about yourself and you take pride in the things you do.
Attribution
The intro and title cards seen in the video were created by me on Canva. The first stock footage video I used was called “A middle age man teacher wearing glasses talking to a young man” from Mixkit by an unknown creator. The next video I used was “Young business team discuss design in modern office” also by an unknown creator, found on Mixkit. The last stock video footage was found on mixkit as well, it was called “Students walking in a university” also by an unknown creator. Lastly, the music was called “Travel Nonstop” by Squadda B and I found it on YouTube’s audio library.
Process
I found the process to be very easy because I have been making videos for a long time. I have been using adobe premiere pro for years so I knew how to use it to do what I wanted. I also thought filming the videos were easy, because Apple makes recording videos very accessible, so I didn’t have to go through the learning curve of figuring out how to use a video camera. I picked YouTube because I use YouTube for everything, so again I find it very easy to understand how to use it.
