Family Will Always Come First

For my video project over the one positive outcome of the pandemic, I decided to create it based on the valuable time I was able to spend with my family. While the pandemic brought many negative aspects into the world, one thing that remained positive during my experience was the extra months I received with my family that I never would have gotten had the COVID pandemic never occurred.

As I was working on the video, I was surprised at how many details went into creating a video in order ensure it is enticing and not bland. By just adding some background music and working on some the photos I had in my rough draft, it made the video overall much more enjoyable. 

By being a media content producer, it made consider many different ideas. I first thought about who the audience would be for my video and tried to tailor different parts of the video towards their liking such as the pleasant audio song I chose. I also spend a decent amount of time editing my script for the video as not to make it boring or go on at times so that the audience would remain engaged. 

Because of the reasons above, being a media content producer can be very different than a media content consumer. Being a consumer entails understanding why you are consuming the media product (video in this case), and knowing how it can be of use to you, such as for enjoyment or knowledge.                                            f                                                                                                         I thought the pictures I chose in my final draft of the video ended up working out well, as my video focused on my enjoyment of the time I was able to spend with my family, and I hope those pictures expressed how much my family means to me. Additionally by working on the storyboard prior to creating the video, I was able to make the video with much more ease than I would've had I not created a storyboard.                                                                                                         c                                                                                                     As for what I could have done differently, I believe I could have extended the length of the video and gone into more detail about how I spend my time with my family. Although, I gave some brief descriptions of the time spent, more detail can always be added.     c                                                                                                         I believe that this positive aspect of the pandemic for me was also a positive aspect for many other people during these crazy times. I actually did a bit of research before first creating my video and found some of the main reasons why families were able to connect more closely during the pandemic. It mainly involved having more time for conversations. Overall, I would give almost anything for the pandemic to never happen, but it's important to look for the positive things that come out of the worst of situations; and in this case, it turned out to be a very valuable thing.
