Video

The video will aim to be at least 5 minutes long. We would spend about an hour filming and a good 4 - 5 days making sure its edited and everything is okay.

What other components will you need? Why?

Audio- we would use a stereo which is two channel audio signal which is recorded as a pair of lines running parallel with the film’s direction of travel through the projector.

Planning- pre-production. Scripting and story boarding

Video- a video camera and use the sim card to transfer the video onto the computer to edit.

Edits- we will put writing at the beginning on the video saying Wakefield college and at the end we will put thank you for watching. We will add writing at the bottom of each interview with staff and students of their name and what they do within college.

Equipment list:

Camera, camera stand, microphone on the shirt, a script of things to say, audio, boom mic.

How does this link to your promo video?

We can’t have swearing in the video because 14-16-year old's will be watching it. If we was to use the college logo we would need to ask for permission from college. We also need permission to record interviews.
