For my Draft Video Story I wanted to create a Narrative that described what was happening in the video and also added more detail to why this was happening. I filmed the videos from my iPhone in one of the rooms in my house. For my final draft I would like to get actual footage of Grace at the gym, but edit and incorporate the videos that same way. What inspired me to make my video this way was in the second Premiere Tutorial we did. We had to create a narrative of Murrow Hall which I really enjoyed and wanted to create something similar. My Draft Video Story includes my friend and what is important to her in her healthy lifestyle. I included her doing different steps in her workout routine. I also included a video of her waving in the beginning to introduce the person who is in my video, and also a video at the end to conclude the video. I thought concluding the video with her and a good inspirational message from her would be an impactful way to end the video. I cut the videos so they would go along with the narrative as well has adding transitions so it added a greater effect to the overall video. After editing and finishing my video I wanted to add music in the beginning and end of the video, as well as it quietly playing throughout the video. This is where I struggled. I couldn’t directly put music from my iTunes in the video, so I decided to go without it. For my final draft I definitely want to figure out that aspect, as I think it would improve my video. I would also like to improve my footage and take longer videos so I have more to work with and can edit them differently.

In my original draft story I included a Narrative of me talking about my topic, as well as an interview of my friend talking about her experience that was similar to my experience. That has always been my idea process for this project. My first thought was that I wanted to do more interviews with people that had similar stories, but finding multiple people to interview was a struggle. After receiving my feedback I had to make many changes. I had to cut the parts out where there was no talking and random background noise which it sound more put together. I also decided to recreate and re-record my whole narrative part and the beginning of my interview to make it sound more uplifting, because my voice was more monotone and boring in my first draft. I wanted it to overall sound more of like a podcast rather than it sounding very scripted. In order to do this I just spoke from my mind and my thoughts to make it sound more natural instead of writing a whole script. I chose to keep the same narrative part because I thought it was strong useful information. I wanted to find more people to interview but I couldn’t because it was hard to find people that had a similar story, even though I did think that more interviews would have been more useful. I also decided that I wanted to include the chime noise in the beginning as more of a “starting noise” to my podcast, and also at the end I wanted to use the same noise to make it a concluding point. Overall, with this project I thought that my draft was a lot different from my final draft. I made improvements from my last one, even small improvements such as the cut outs that made my final audio story stronger.
