World War II Informational Video: Making History Fun

World War II Informational Video: Making History Fun

   Project + Objective:

For my School Maker Faire project, I edited, voiced, and made an informational video about WWII. The inspiration for my project came from channels on youtube that make videos about history, from that I found a lot of useful information on how to make the video captivating, and interesting.

Challenges:

A challenge that I had when making the video was choosing a good video editing software to edit my video. I Actually started on Adobe Premiere, but quickly decided the software was overkill for my project, so instead of using Adobe Premiere, I decided to choose iMovie as my editing software, as for 1, it was free, and 2, I knew how to edit the video better, therefore making the whole process quicker. Another problem that I intend to fix if I do this again was my audio quality, which was just horrible, and because of this, the video was barely audible. Luckily with a better mic, this problem could be solved quite easily.

Process + Next Steps + Advice:

The whole process was pretty invigorating especially the last 2 hours before the Maker Faire, this was in part due to my Bar Mitzvah being the next day. I learned that procrastination is a nasty thing and should be attended to, even if the stuff is almost done. I also learned about editing and the importance of a good mic. If I had more time with this project I would post the video on youtube and see what would happen. If you are looking to do anything similar, I would say get a good mic, make a script, and learn how to edit videos, before even making the actual video.

     Price:

Overall the price of this project was 10$, that was from the course I was going to take if I had gone on with using Adobe Premiere as my editing software, which I didn’t. Other than that this project was completely free.
