Behind the Scenes
This video was an attempt to adapt my similarly titled podcast about shrinking attention spans. I used my iPhone to record the video using a tripod and microphone checked out from the HCC front desk. Using a tripod was helpful as I was able to set up a stable video at any point and at differing heights. The microphone provided much better quality audio and reduced instances of background noise versus the iPhone’s built in microphone. Since I recorded the footage on an iPhone, and was going to edit on my Mac laptop, it made sense to stay in the Apple ecosystem and edit using iMovie. I uploaded my video as an unlisted video on Youtube, as I already had a YouTube account and knew how to upload to the platform.
