The video
The inspiration
I chose to base my project on this topic because I feel that it is an issue that many college students struggle with, especially those who are just transitioning from high school education. I struggle with studying myself, so creating this video was also beneficial for me. More information on this topic can be found here: Study Tips, Pomodoro Technique, and What is a mind map?. I was unable to use my audio project in this video because the footage I was able to get would have mostly been recorded by someone else, as the season has now ended, and what I was able to record didn’t mesh or tell a story.
Credits
The music used in this project was Hazy After Hours, created by Alejandro Magana, Mixkit. The mind map graphic was taken from Mural.co, author unknown. The resources I used for this project were from Rose Compass International and Todoist (linked above as Study Tips and Pomodoro Technique, respectively).
The process
I chose to use my iPhone 12 Pro to record, along with a tripod I already owned. Since most of my recording was done in one room, I thought that the basic materials would suffice, since I wasn’t planning on doing anything complicated. I used Soundtrap to edit the audio for my video, since I used it on the last project and felt very comfortable with it. I used iMovie to edit the video itself, since I own a Macbook and it is installed automatically. I’ve had some experience with iMovie in the past, so I also felt more comfortable using it than I would have with a different software. I chose to publish my video on Youtube because I’ve published videos for classes there in the past, so I was knowledgeable about the process and already had an account set up.
