For the “place” video project, I chose an outdoor location I had never been to called Walnut Creek. Because I was unfamiliar with filming and editing, the project proved to be challenging as I had to learn new techniques and concepts that required me to pay more attention to nuances such as cuts, music, and mood. Although the filming of my video isn’t professional grade, I think I gained a greater understanding of the various facets that go into portraying a place, its environment, and its mood by paying greater attention to details. In the end, I think my video succeeded in portraying an overall sense of delight and happiness, which is what I aimed to convey.
