Draft Video Story

For my draft video footage, I wanted to give the viewers an idea on how to do some basic workouts in the gym. Although I could’ve added more workouts to the video, I wanted to show some important key workouts that’ll help gain strength quickly. This video relates back to my topic since it’s a video on how to do basic workouts in the gym in increase strength and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Some design influences that helped me make this video included my friend who use to be a personal trainer at the gym in my hometown, and also some workout videos you can find online. However, a lot of the videos I found online, the person exercising would often just get straight into the workout without explaining much, so I wanted to be more helpful to the viewers and create a video where I was teaching rather than just showing the viewers how to do the workouts. I think creating a video where I’m showing the viewers how to do them is a lot more significant since the viewer can actually gain an understanding on how to do it correctly, which is very important when you’re working out since if you do it wrong you can permanently damage certain muscles. While creating the video, I used a variety of different shots to capture all angles on the workout, and I included audio instructions on how to correctly do them. I gathered this video by going to the gym and just recording it with my friend Andrew, then I had to put it together using Adobe. Using Adobe Premiere Pro wasn’t too fun for me since I had a difficult time finding out how to add in text and transitions, also the software was giving me a difficult time trying to import all of the clips, and an even more difficult time trying to export them and post them on YouTube. All in all I probably took a little extra time then I should’ve doing this assignment due to some of the technical difficulties I had trying to export the film, but it was nice to finally be finished for this week at least.
