service via video

For our service via video contest we are making a video for a local soup kitchen, me and my group. The question I am pondering today is whether or not the video production and the process of making it is more important, or is the actual videot the important part.

On one side the process is a good learning experience and it is very important to take time on the process. If you learn a lot from it and you learn how to do these videos, the next time you make it, it could be even better. However the product is what is helping your client. You are making the video for someone and it is benefiting them. If you make ithe video the best you can, the final product becomes more important than actually making it. It is your masterpiece, your final product.]]

So I think that if you look at the big picture, the final product is the most important thing. Your client is more important and the impact that the video could have on the organization is more important than the impact on yourself. 

For our project we are making a video for a local soup kitchen to help spread awareness and to tell people how to get involved as well as to tell what the soup kitchen is about.

Field Trip

So yesterday this digcit class went on a little fieldtrip. We have been assigned a project to create a video for local organizations. On this field trip we went and visited all of the organizations to learn what they do and what they are about and so they can tell each group what they want in the video we are going to make them. The first place was a rotary club meeting and we were there to listen about what they do and to help raise awareness and support for their club. They need doners and people to support them. Next we visited a local center that offers relief to people that need it, they have a food pantry doctors office dentist, welfare stuff, and everything that people need. We then visited by a women from an organization dedicated to help stopping suicide and related mental issues with that. Then we had lunch and made our way to a local animal shelter where we were able to pet the dogs and play with them but also get an idea of what they need in terms of videos. The best part was playing with the dogs though. There was a pitbull puppy named Bam Bam who was just a lover of everybody. The last place we visited was a soup kitchen that helps the local town. That is my group and my organization. It is a great place and they help so many people. After going to all of these organizations, I am ready to get started with my group on our video project.
