The 1970’s is an era which involves many different personalities, styles and trends. My other group member Stephanie and I decided to do this time period because it incorporates the merge of the 60’s and 80’s. It was a weird time where you saw more hippie culture, disco and punk come out. We thought it would be a good era because it doesn’t get as much attention due to the repeat of other time periods. The video making was I think the most challenging part for us. At first we were unsure of what type of scenes we should incorporate. We really tried to show all types of clothing trends in our videos such as hippie and disco. For our “Lingo” category instead of just writing them out we decided to say them ourselves. This really worked out successfully because it gave more meaning and personality to the phrases.
We started out by brainstorming all the things we could use for each category. We did some research on what were the most popular parts of the 70’s and only used the most important or the most heard of. Then we made the videos we needed, edited and put parts together that fit. The last stage was organizing it all to movie maker. We put all our pictures into groups and added tiles and transitions to match. After that we added in videos and appropriate clips. Lastly, we cropped the main part of the songs we chose so they corresponded to our video.
I really enjoyed all the videos made by my classmates. It was great that each group set up their documentary different. This made each groups’ project much more interesting and unique. I think something that worked the best with other eras is making the videos we made look as close as possible to what they used to dress, say and act at the time. It looked the best when people got fully dressed up or became a character that was popular in that time period. Something that worked the least was having low quality pictures or videos. It was still effective but it was just harder to make out what was happening. I learned much more about the other eras and they even cleared up questions I had from before. I had seen and heard of many of the pictures and videos but I never knew when and where they actually came from. The documentaries defiantly make me want to be more interested in these eras. I think all the presentations turned out funkadelic.
