Youtube is a website where you can upload video's on a website and then other people of the public can view them. It allows you to upload such things as; video clips, music clips, movies clips, blog videos. It is free to sign up and is easy to find your way around the site. As a viewer you can rate and make comments on peoples posts, and search for a wide variety of clips by using the search tool.

Task Five (Blog Posting): Provide a brief account (1-2 paragraphs) on how the use of planning (storyboarding and scripting aided your groups short film.

As a group we sat down and discussed ideas we had for making our short film. Once we had decided on what we were going to do in our film we then turned to the story boarding. We drew in what we would be filming and how we would film it. This was very valuable as we could agree on what we were doing so when it came to filming we knew what we were doing.

During filming we referred back to our storyboard so we knew where to go for the next scene. Woth the descriptions aswell we were able to recall how we were meant to film each piece.

I felt it aided us very well, and it meant filming was quick as all the decisions had been made and we could just do what we had agreed on. It also acted as a visual aid of what we were doing rather than just words.
