YouTube is a video sharing website where users can upload, view and share video clips. The San Bruno-based service uses Adobe Flash technology to display a wide variety of user-generated video content, including movie clips, TV clips and music videos, as well as amateur content such as videoblogging and short original videos.
The uploading of videos containing pornography, nudity, defamation, harassment, commercial advertisements and material encouraging criminal conduct is prohibited. Related videos, determined by title and tags, appear onscreen to the right of a given video.

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.

The storyboard was very useful while making our short film in class. We were able to see visually the photos/shots that we wanted to take. The ideas we used were placed in order and were easy to follow using the storyboard. We were able to stick to the footage that we wanted to shoot by referring back to what we had written on our storyboard. Our video clip is about the weather that we experience in Dunedin and we named it Channel D Weather.

We did not have very long to shoot our video so by preparing and doing the storyboard we were able to follow it and we knew what photos/shots we needed to take so that cut down the time. Editing the shots took a while but we were able to cut it down to make a 30 second movie clip.
