Research:

To prepare for filming we first had to do research. Most of the information I used was taken from Stirling Castle's official website.

Display and Storage methods:

Videos can be displayed on monitors, televisions and through a projector.

Videos can be stored on hard-drives, CD's and memory cards.

Processes used by video artists:

Video art relies on moving pictures and is made up of video and/or audio.

Exhibits are commonly displayed by projection for larger audiences, or in small kiosks for individuals.

The process of creating a video:

The first step of creating a video, as mentioned above, is research on the subject. The next step is to write a script, and possibly a storyboard. Once these are completed, filming can begin. After shooting is finished all video is transferred to a computer to be edited. This involves choosing which scenes you want to be in the final film, adding effects and transitions, fixing and adding audio, and exporting and compressing the result into an appropriate codec.

Since going to the castle to film we have finished most of the editing. We should have the documentary completed by next week. We also have to create packaging for the finished DVD, as well as a four-page booklet.
