Reflections/future/thanks (REAL final post)

Hello Viewers! GamerInspector4700 here! Apparently we needed to do another blog, so that's what I'm going to do.

I'm gonna talk about the future of my channel.

This blog project has been fun for me, and I have gotten up a grand total of 4 official videos up. I'm working on a fifth one now, but they have ranged to Top Ten, to Let's Play, to Music Video, to a Game Review. I've yet to do a game theory, but that's the type of video in the works.

I'm gonna keep growing my channel, and I'll probably keep it up until I'm out of college. Heck, I might go to youtube full time, because you can make a bunch of money off of youtube ads. That's all I have to say about the future of my channel.

I have gotten a lot of good comments on this blog about both My channel and this blog, and I just want to say Thank You to everyone.

Well, that's about it. GamerInspector4700, signing off.

Reflections (possible final post)

Hello Viewers! GamerInspector4700 here! Wow. Last blog post. Reflection. feels like I just started doing this project. Funny how time seems to go faster when you get older. Before I forget, while I'm typing this my review video on the game Star Fox Zero is being uploaded. I'll probably confirm its upload either late tonight or tomorrow morning. Getting back on track, I should talk about reflection.

When I first started this channel with my first video, my top eight game cube games, I literally had nothing but my mom's computer with Windows Movie Maker. And my iPhone. Can't forget the iPhone. But even then with just that stuff (I'm not trying to brag or anything), I made an exceptional video, but it wasn't an excellent video. After that, I ordered a capture card for getting footage from video games, along with a good student deal for some Adobe programs such as Premier Pro, Photoshop, and After Effects (although I haven't used THAT one yet; still trying to figure it out.). I also got a Yeti microphone for good sound quality.

My next video was episode one of my Wind Waker Let's Play (which I'm discontinuing for reasons). That was a better one. with different subtitles and better video/sound quality.

Then my music video, which if I'm being honest, was just a content filler.

Finally, there is my first review video, which is the most work I've ever put into a video. I'd rather not talk about it, so you guys can see for yourselves. I'm really proud of it.

So that about wraps up this post. Thank you for listening to me ramble, and I hope you enjoy my review video. Buh-Bye!

Narrative

Hello, Viewers! GamerInspector4700/Will Underwood here!

So I'm supposed to write a short story about me and my project. Okay. I can do this. I CAN TOTALLY DO THIS!

(gets out my computer, types one word, and goes and hides in the closet.)

Not really. Just kidding.

I might as well talk about making my first YouTube video, my top eight game cube games. The first thing I needed to do is actually make a list of my favorite top eight game cube games. It was somewhat easy, because I only played about 20 game cube games, but it was still somewhat difficult. The next thing I needed to do was write a script. YouTube videos aren't improvised (not usually), and I had to make a list of reasons of why these games were my favorite games, and in that order.

Next is filming, I guess. I say "I guess" because, only some of the parts were actually filmed. You could do an entire video as a face cam, or you could get footage from the games, and you could make an entire video with that. You would need to record your voice, though

Now is the most difficult step in my opinion: editing. For this video, it was somewhat easy, albeit, it took a long time, but that's just because it's editing. I used Windows Movie Maker for this, since that's the only editing program I had at the time. Now, since I use Premier Pro, it's pretty difficult.

Final step is proofreading and uploading. Proofreading is just looking over the video to make sure everything is right, and uploading is more of a waiting step. It takes a bit to upload on YouTube, but in the end, it's worth it. You also should put a description in the video.

That's about it for the making of a video. I hope you liked it. For now, Buh Bye!


Side note: I'm hoping to get one more video up before the presentation next friday, and it's going to be my biggest video yet. You will have to wait and see what it is.
