Editing vs Shooting
Both aspects are extremely vital for a video project. I would definitely say that I enjoy editing more than shooting, as that is when most of my ideas flow and you can work with your video clips in whatever way you want. You can manipulate the clips you have taken, especially the ones that haven't come out that great. It is understood that shooting and editing goes hand in hand. Adding effects, adding some music and graphics definitely appeals to me.
Production Stage
Interview questions: MY video piece is going to be detail oriented. I am going to have people talk alot, and yes I have questions that will elicit informative and detailed responses. I have gotten a few clips, and people have responded well so far.
Shot- List: So far I have some shots I took at a conference. People talking about what they think about AIESEC. I pln to get more interview shots, more images, more action shots and location shots. I will mix these together to produce a well ordered video project.
Style+Elements: My style to to capture to joy, the excitement and also humor. I plan on doing the same with more inspiring clips, because I believe AIESEC is a great organization with numerous opportunities, so having an inspirational feel to it will be ideal. So far my plan is being implemented slowly. I plan to use most of the audio that I recorded, since that is very important to my piece. I plan to use different audio and will assemble it accordingly with the corresponding video clips.
Composition+Form: I have a lot of shooting to do, but so far from the clips that I have captured, I have a good feel to what and how I will be using them in the end product. In terms of whether it will convey my message, I believe the clips so far definitely are in relation to that. Or else I would have never gotten these clips in the first place.
Reflection: SO far I have a good feel to it. I just have to do more shooting and then comes the editing and putting together my piece. I really want my end product to be a good quality video. That is my goal.
Improvisation: I have actually stumbled on the whole topic as a whole few times already. I finally decided to do my piece on the members of AIESEC. I always discover new things as I go, while working on something. Especially while shooting clips, I think of different questions and different ways of capturing the video. Its all a process and sicne I am in teh initial stages, I believe more of this will take place later as well.

Pre-Production Plan
Personal: I think this whole module is very personal, as it is based on 'This is believe' statement. My video is definitely going to be very personal as well. I am going to focus on an international organization called AIESEC. I am it the organization and very passionate about being a member. I will focus alot on me and the different members involved in it. I will try to capture the essence of the organization, why the different members are in it, why they believe AIESEC is a great organization and more. More importantly, AIESEC, the world's largest student organization is the international platform for young people to discover and develop their potential so as to have a positive impact in society. I want to portray these different aspects of this organization. Experiences of the members of AIESEC abroad and the impact they have made in society and the impact they have had in their own life.
Working Statement/Hypothesis: There is so much to this organization and so much that the members do in it. I will try to incorporate AIESEC's mission and what the members do locally, nationally and internationally. AIESEC is a global organization. SO the organization is very diverse. One of its other purposes to to create global awareness. So in my whole project, I will try to focus on the members, what they do in teh organization, what the organization has done for them, their experiences, what they do on campus and how the organization's mission is accomplished. I will combine all of the above aspects together and try to produce an overall/inspiring video that sums up what the members believe in and what they accomplish.
Research: I will talk to many members of the organization. I plan on having a video that comprises of some members of the organization. I aim to have them talk about their experiences and about AIESEC.
Anxieties: I really hope the audience won't feel like I am trying to sell the organization's brand. Well making a video about the organization and showing it to an audience is obviously spreading the name. SO I guess that is inevitable, but I want the audience to realize that this is something that I am very passionate. I want to portray my belief that AIESEC is the best organization and I want them to understand why that is, and be able to have them appreciate the organization.
Content: Members of AIESEC including myself. Some other pictures related to AIESEC.
Audience: My audience will be everyone. It could be a naudience who might be interested in the organization, people who might be interested in the things this organization does.
Style: Like always I have a fun/energetic feel to my videos. I kind of what to do the same, but I also want to have an inspiring feel to it. I plan to work on editing and putting more time into making the video.

100 words
BY brainstorming ideas with myself and with my peers, I have decided to make a video about the holidays, specifically Christmas. WHy people love and cherish christmas, what is the significance of christmas to the different people that I am going to interview. Interview non-christians who still celebrate christmas and focus on why they love christmas, a festival out of their religion. I want to touch on the religious aspects of christmas, the family aspects. I also want to incorporate the excitement of the holiday and the preparation that goes into it.

Dreaming phase..
By looking at my '100 questions' journal entry and my 'This I believe' essay, I can relate them to a certain extent. Most of the questions I asked were related to my future, and aspects in my present life that will lead to my future goals/vision and some other random and past related questions. My essay was about friendship which I highly consider a major part of my life. MY 100 questions focused more on what I want in life and what I believe in. Uncertain questions that I want to answer eventually.
So for my project, I don;t think I would want to focus it on friendship, even though my essay in based on that. I feel that doing a final project about friendship will be too generic and cheesy and cliche. As I have mentioned in some of my writings before, the main principle that I stand by in terms of living life, is by anticipating the excitement that is gonna occur in my life. Whether it be thanksgiving break, or traveling somewhere during winter break, coming back to college, doing an internship, these are all events that I look forward to and thus the anticipation of the events to take place makes me feel alive. That is what motivates me. I want to focus on something that I truly believe is of importance to me, something that I am passionate about, or a video of different people who are passionate about something. This sounds vague I know. I am thinking of creating a video that involves other people and myself, with a similar interest. Maybe about student organizations?? Or holidays?? world issues??

Research??
I believe there are differences in doing research and in general the whole production of the end product for a video project and a research paper. At-least to me. When working on a research paper, you familiarize yourself with the topic and do extensive research on the respective topic in terms of understanding it, providing facts about the topic and presenting factual validity. Stating the facts or arguments are easy as anyone would know, but the validity is where the weight lays most on. Researching can vary from using the internet, books etc., In a video project, the notion of validity/truth depends. In depends on what kind of video it is. If its a project about interviewing people, it becomes relative and we tend to depend on the people to validate the facts and convince the audience. With any other video piece, we have to produce something that is visually effective that convinces the audience. To me, doing research on a video project usually takes place in my head. I create a storyboard in my own head and outline what I want to do. Later I implement my plan by getting footage and editing it, hoping that it will be a success to the audience. I always have the audience in mind.
This I believe..
There are many valuable things in life, but I truly believe that friendship is one of the most important. Human interaction is necessary for human survival, and developed friendships are essential for one to be a well rounded being. There are different types of friendships. Different categories that a person recognizes the friend as. An acquaintance is one of the different types. An acquaintance is someone that you know only from the exterior, at a basic level. This could generate a deeper friendship, but some acquaintances stay as they are. You don't share much or interact much on a regular basis. But this kind of friendship can still be pure.
I also believe that your significant other is your friend, at least to me. This is another type of friendship. Some may argue with this, but I believe this is true. To be intimate with someone, and share a deeper relationship with someone- one shares everything, opens up to the person and is a friend first, then a lover. Next type of friendship is a true friend or a best friend. This is the type that you can count on your life for. Someone that will always be there for you, no matter what. Someone that you share your darkest secrets, say anything to and feel comfortable. This is the type of friend that will be there for you through pain and joy.An old rule of thumb is that a true friend is someone you can call after months or even years and speak as if not a day had passed. That is true friendship. A true friend will always stand by you and show his/her support. I truly believe from the bottom of my heart that true friends are hard to find and the most important to hang on to, if found. This might be a cliche belief but it the strongest belief that I have. The rewards are great having true friends, whether it be 10 true friends or 1. They are irreplaceable. This is what I believe.
