To create this video you see above, it took lost of hard work and we learns lots as we went. First we had to learn how to draft a story board. The story board consists of video shots that you want to get for your video written down so you have an original idea to look back on. So along with our story board came a script. The script helped us know what we wanted to say for each video clip. We had our script that prioritized key information with no assigned clip and we added the lines where we thought it fit the video best.
Next was the actual kicking and filming. I had never actually kicked field goals before so i got to learn that. However it was very easy as I already had a good kicking mechanic and understanding from playing soccer basically my whole life. After I learned how to and zeroed in some consistency, we began filming the shots we needed. Along with thew shots we needed we also got additional ones in case we felt that they could help demonstrate our purpose. We also started filming voice overs and calculating the physics of our experiment.
The last part of our video was editing. We used a basic IMovie on a phone to keep it simple and sweet. It had all we needed and nothing more or less. We combined clips with voice overs, put music behind our video, and put text over our video to enrich the information given. We looked for any mistakes and worked to fix them. We had a class viewing and after watching our video, they gave us feedback that was very helpful. We listened to their feedback for our current version of the video. This was a very fun project to be part of and I learned a lot of new skills that I never would have the change to learn unless I did something like this.
KEY DEFINITIONS:
Force of impact: it is the amount of force created or generated when two objects or things make contact in a collision Momentum: As an object continues to move at faster speeds it will be harder to stop Impulse: The measure of a force in a certain time interval or a certain space of time Vertical Velocity: Vvertical= Acceleration due to gravity x Time. This is the velocity of an object traveling vertically. It uses the Ag (acceleration due to gravity) and the amount of time it is in the air to get this piece of information. Horizontal Velocity: Vhorizontal= Distance traveled horizontally divided by time. This measures the velocity of an object traveling horizontally by comparing the amount of distance an object covers in an amount of time. Total Velocity: using the horizontal and vertical velocities set up as the base and the height of a right triangle, you find the hypotenuse to find the total velocity by using the pythagorean theorem.
