Finishing the Script | Lesson 2

When planning the video we have to create, we wrote a script for it so we knew what to say and how to explain instructions of the warm ups. As well as finishing off the script in this lesson we chose another exercise and came up with a few quick and easy exercises as well.

We started the lesson by looking through the script and the warm ups we had come up with in our last lesson. Using the same book we used last lesson we found another warm up to use in our video. The backing track of the scale was on a CD found in the book, and we thought about using that CD in our video. However, we decided that we would use the same exercise but do the scales ourselves on the keyboard, as we wanted it to be our own work. Once the first warm up was finalised and completed we moved onto the next one. Once that was finalised and completed we moved onto finding a new warm up.

In previous lessons for other units, we were given sheets of short quick warm ups that we could do. We decided to use that same sheet, and choose a few warm ups on the sheet to add into the video. We thought this was a good idea as some people might want quick and easy warm ups rather than warm ups that take time. When we did these warm ups ourselves before performing we found them useful. Knowing that we found the warms ups useful meant other people would as well.

Once we chose three warm ups we wanted to show in the video we added them into the script. We wanted the script to be entertaining as well as useful, so we made sure it had the basic information in there and we decided we would improvise a few other things in the video. When writing the script we fairly split each of the parts so both of us would have equal speaking parts. Once each of us chose what parts we were going to sing, we did a run-through of it without the camera so we knew roughly what we were going to say in the video and how we were going to show certain parts through camera angles.
