Video Revisions - Schimpf

If this Rhetoric Project was given a rubric and I were to go back and edit my video, there would be both surface and structural revisions made. I would definitely go back to work over some of the complications I had, both structurally and on the surface. At the surface level, I think I would have made my video with a much more specific audience. This would require me to pick different video clips and to reorganize the order. I would also change the audio. I originally thought that having music with lyrics would confuse the watchers while reading statistics or listening to stories, but I didn't end up putting either of those things in this project, so lyrical music would have been okay. Additionally, I think having only one or two songs throughout the video would have made it seem more sequential. Other than that, I think the transitions and video/sound quality in the project that I turned in were suitable. Getting into the structural details, I think that the tone of my video ended up being very out of order. While I spent almost two hours reordering the clips and trying to organize it in a way to get the point across, I think it still ended up confusing. This is because my original plan, or vision, for the video would have meant creating a much longer video. I believe that the tone came across as jumbled because each clip/piece of my video was shorter than I would have liked it to be. The change that I'm trying to initiate is a lengthy and detailed process that I don't think I would be able to portray clearly in a video under five minutes. To fix this structural issue, I think I would have only described the first part of the overall change, to keep it more simple. This adjustment would allow me to present a more straightforward message.
