Assembly VideoOriginality and Creativity

Title SequenceFade in from black along with the music

Sequence of photos with one letter appearing each time

Ends with speeded up video of cleaning board

We didn’t plan this but it links in really well with the education theme

Good way to quickly engage the audience: Y7-Y13 student

Not suitable for documentary because it isn’t serious enough and does not flow at well as it should

Cross fades not used so title has more “punch”

Opening Sequence

Lots of candid shots used throughout for audience entertainment

Main focus on students rather than Baiwan environment

No subtitles used because video is already in chronological order

Also allows video to flow better rather than divided up into different sections

Cross fades are used because of the soft music

Bus MontageMore candid photos of people on the bus

Photos change on the beat of the music

Shows music has been chosen to fit with the music

In Baiwan

In Baiwan

Passage of time highlighted by dip to white

Photos and clips used are mainly of children

Timed so students reach Baiwan in the chorus

Clips are no more than 5 seconds long to keep interest

Clips change after every line of the music on the beat without transitions

Keeps the video fast paced

Teaching

Shots here are comparatively longer than those of the Baiwan environment

The videos in the classrooms have more panning so the size of the rooms can be seen

Longer shots come in when the music thins out

Creates a good flow

Transition

Continuing candid shots

Fade to black at end

Pause with no clips as music leads into chorus

Keeps the audience on their toes and makes video more entertaining, also clearly marks the video into different sections

Basketball Matches

Only have two angles of basketball match

This was a disadvantage but we only had one camera

Editing together two shots so it looked like a shot went in

No cross fade used between the clips, but sound was edited so the difference wasn’t noticed too much.

Basketball Matches (cont)

Slow motion shots of dribbling/funny moments

Again keeps video entertaining for the audience

Photo of “final score” fades in at the end so it isn’t too sudden

Sets up for end of video

Final SceneMontage of group photos

Cross fades in between in time with music

Timed so video finishes at the end of the chorus so it feels complete

Only inserted subtitle into the video to thank the teachers involved

Font used (Poplar Std) isn’t formal so appeals to younger demographic

Final photo was chosen because there already is a large space available underneath
