Our First Video Blog
Kiruba, as always, took the initiative of conducting something new. And this time he had conducted a small meeting to learn what video blogging is all about. I expected few elderly professionals to take us through the whole process, but then it was a team of youngsters, still in their colleges, stepping forward with lots of energy to makes us understand the complete workings of video blogging – right from how to capture them in movie devices till how to upload them on to the net.
‘The younger generation is always more intelligent than the older generation.’ And this particular video blog is a perfect example to convince us about the authenticity of the phrase.
Our team comprised of Nandhu, Rekha, Ganesh and me. And we were called Team A.
We decided on the story line, then we thought about what exactly we will be talking in front of the camera (since most of the times we are dumbfold when the camera gets rolling), and in which angle we will be shooting. Once we were through with the shooting part, I had to sit back and see how Ganesh perfectly edited the movie clips, how he inserted the special effects, and how he worked on the most important ascpect called the background music.
We were shocked to find that the device we used for shooting didn’t record our voices. And we had to do a dubbing for our voices. Huh. It was thoroughly a movie making experience.
The video looks very simple, but then it took us 5 hours to complete it. We were just wondering – if 1 minute video blog could take 5 hours for us, then what about the movies, which movie makers make that runs for 3 hours or so!
