Working away

28 December 2009

I'm steadily working through the video tutorials for the software program I am learning to use to make these YouTube videos. Thankfully they are very clear.

Besides they reassure me that I can do these videos with voice overs rather than have me be seen.

Why won't I want to be seen? Actually when someone looks at another person talking they mostly believe what they are saying is their opinion. When there is a voice over most people hear that as 'script'.

Because I'm about to do so many short videos it's important that the people who watch them will identify with them rather than have an opinion about me.

Also Common Knowledge Trust holds the birth stories of thousands of families. By doing a voice over for each one I can talk about 'us or we' rather than 'you'.

This is of course very delicate. For a woman who would love to have a vaginal birth after a Caesarean yet can't ... for whatever reason ... having others know how she feels makes her feel better. I believe I can achieve this with the voice over where I can always use the 'we or us'.

I'm also collecting images from Google to put into these videos.

Actually I'm feeling pretty good at the moment.

Have a great holiday season and New Year.
