Transcript of "Advocacy Video Series - Part 4" produced by Rooted in Rights
ALLEXA: Welcome to part four of the Advocacy Video Series.
I'm back with more fruit and terms.
I'm currently two eyes and a mouth on a pear.
Our next term for this series is B-roll.
B-roll is any footage that's not hosting.
So when you're filming, and when you're editing, you capture B-roll and you edit B-roll into your film.
So B-roll can really be anything, it can be shots of a city, pictures of fruit, photographs, footage of the host doing the things described in the video.
B-roll helps set the scene for your video and keeps things interesting.
I'm now two eyes and a mouth on a strawberry, and the next term is "stringout".
So that makes me a Stringout Strawberry.
Making a stringout is part of the editing process, so once you have filmed everything and you're bringing everything into editing, the stringout is when you have selected all of your best hosting, all the things you want, and you put it in the order that you want it
for the final video.
The stringout is important because it's all the best stuff in the order that you want it, and it's important to lock this in before you get to the cut.
I'm now two eyes and a mouth on the crown of a pineapple, which is the part that you cut off and don't eat, which is great because we're talking about the next term, "cut".
The cut!
It's going to be an export of your video with B-roll added, music added, narration added, sound effects, audio description should be in there.
You're going to take your stringout, you're going to add all these additional elements, and you're going to make a cut from those.
In addition to being an export of your video with all the elements, a cut is also a term used for editing.
You will make cuts when you're selecting the footage you want, and you will cut away the footage you don't want.
And what are we going to be using to export and make all of these cuts, you ask?
Kinemaster!
Our last term for the series is Kinemaster.
Now, Kinemaster is not really a term, it's the name of a program, so that's why I'm two eyes and a mouth on a bunch of different tomatoes, because tomatoes are fruit but we don't consider them fruits, in the way that Kinemaster is a term for this series, but it's not actually a term.
Kinemaster is an app to edit video on your mobile phone, and it's the editing that I will be using and teaching in this video series.
You can download Kinemaster in the app store for iOS, for Google, for a bunch of other phones and tablets.
I haven't found one it hasn't worked on.
Kinemaster is K-i-n-e-m-a-s-t-e-r and it's a free app.
Up next, tips for scripting!
