Revised Video:

My input:

I created this video when I was in high school with a partner and it was very rough. My objective with this video was to teach people about gravity and some information on Issac Newton. Editing this video was a challenge as I only had the uncut original video. I decided to input pictures with some information hopefully allowing viewers to create a better link with the information. The colors I chose were decided on as they contrasted well allowing for good visibility of the writing. Keeping the writing simple was very important as I did not want too much going on to cause cognitive overload. I felt keeping some elements from Minecraft was important as it brought up another form of media allowing me to express my information more effectively. Using Merill’s principle on using the information to link we discussed how gravity is constantly in use making people think about how it affects themselves. I believe using something such as a video game helps viewers stay engaged with the material and become more interested in a subject. I used an online video software editing called Veed, it was simple for me to pick up and learn how to implement photos as well as other information. I was able to remove a lot of unnecessary footage allowing for a more clear message. Overall I believe the updated version of this video allowed for a message that was much more clear and helped teach the viewer a lesson.
