Product
Hey guys! Welcome back to my blog, in this post I will be talking about the product from my methodology mission. As I had previously stated I’m in a group with Anna and Lougein! We started off well and we all hit it off well. We were struggling to come up with a good idea, we wanted to make it good but funny. We brainstormed for hours really, we just couldn’t figure it out, just as there were so many different routes we could take this. We narrowed it down to two ideas finally. It was between writing a news piece on the same story but everyone writes it in a different form of digital journalism and then we make the video showing this, or we parody a YouTube news video about celebrity gossip and we act to be the celebrities as well. We ended up picking the parody of the YouTube news video.
Then we were left with picking the topics and if we were going to be real news or just made-up news. We thought it would be funnier if we picked fake news or news that we thought would happen in the future. So we had to make up the news stories then, we wanted funny ones that people would get straight away. We ended up choosing a story about the video coming online about Kylie Jenner being pregnant with her 9th baby and Linsey Lohan breaking down and cutting her hair. We tried for funny but I don’t really think it came out through the video, but hey at least we tried.
When we finally decided on that we went on to think about how we were going to set the video up and even a script. We quickly scrapped most of the script as it didn’t seem genuine. So we talked about what each of us could say and just to keep going with it so it wouldn’t seem so fake. We had to use our own clips for the mission so Lougein offered to dress up as both Kylie Jenner and Linsey Lohan. On the day we were filming Lougein brought in wigs and extra clothes and I brought in my camera and we were all set to film. We found a free room in the college and set up in there. We borrowed a tripod from Danniella, this meant we could prop the camera up and we could sit in front of it around the table. We started with the scenes of Kylie and Linsey as we thought once we had them filmed we could actually react to them rather than trying to make it up beforehand. It would flow more naturally after we film it and have seen it. So we filmed the Kylie video outside and pretended she was leaving her house, and we filmed the Linsey video inside the room we were using. After we had that done we sat down to record the actual video. This was difficult as we kept messing up or after we had it filmed it didn’t seem right so we filmed it a few times and just hoping for the best at the end each time. Finally, we had one we were happy with and we decided to go with that.
Editing the video proved very difficult and the three of us weren’t too knowledgeable on editing. I seemed to have the most knowledge which isn’t a lot so we all tried to do our bits, I did a lot of it and hopefully, it came out okay. We added all the clips together and then added backing music and intro music to make it seem like a news show. We recorded a bit of the process during editing and we added that to the video too and even added a little voiceover over the editing part. That is basically the whole video!
