Video Production in Quarantine

Here is a video vlog of one of my days in quarantine during the COVID 19 pandemic happening. I chose this as my topic because it’s something we all are experiencing right now and maybe some people feel a little lost due to their normal lives being unacceptable to live at the moment. Therefore, here is a video on how I try to make my days still be productive when there is not much I am allowed to do. Furthermore, due to in person interviewing or major events happening worthy of documenting but not probable of conducting currently, I chose a safe alternative that hopefully has as much information in it as those would. I hope this is entertaining to more individuals than myself and I hope this brings a little light to your quarantine days as well. Enjoy!

My favorite part of this video experience was the editing. I love taking information or experiences and finding the major parts or important specifics and taking those out to form the summary of the entirety of it all. It is a therapeutic thing for me in a sense and I love the creative element that comes with it. 

The most difficult part for me was remembering throughout the day to take out my phone and video what I was doing. I am not an individual always on my phone or always documenting things I do, so it was hard to remember to do that for a change. 

I was surprised at how much I would enjoy the final product and how much I would actually be entertained in watching what I did that day through my final video. I thought I would be boring or unexciting throughout the video, but it turned out better than that. 

I see myself using video in the future to conduct interviews and how-to pieces as a journalist. I may do a couple more vlogs like this in such circumstances where it would be entertaining and informational, but I believe it to be easier to conduct interviews of other individuals.
