My Digital Video

The digital video I decided to make is a brief look into how I am feeling regarding the quarantine situation in California. This interview between two versions of myself is a way in which I tell the story of how I realized that I took a lot of freedoms and beauty in life for granted just a couple weeks ago. After having to move out of my on campus apartment, both my jobs being put on hold, and having all six of my classes now online, I have quite a few things I wish I could’ve told my past self. I choose this style of video for my project because of my background in making YouTube videos which allows me to be comfortable in expressing myself. I haven’t made a YouTube video in a while, so it feels good to get back to my roots! Some digital principles I followed included using natural lighting, utilizing a close up frame, staying at least 6 feet away from the background, and rule of thirds. I also added some subtitles for better audience understanding and appropriate background music.
