Instruct - Research

At this point all I had left to do was to look at other knitting videos out there.

First video
When I watched this video I found it not as interesting because it's just a basic, over the head, shot looking down at the hands. The shot does not change the angle at all throughout the video at all which makes me think this way. The other thing I've noticed is that there isn't any music in the background. Having just the person talking really puts people off, having even just a quiet simple song in the background can really change a lot. So what I've learned from this is to use a little more different angles, it's not only going to show better the technique I'll be using because you'll be able to see it from the different angles, but also make it less boring to watch.

Second Video
This video also uses just one angle of the camera. What's different here is that the person instead of talking, actually used music in the background and to explain the moves, actually used text at the bottom of the screen. In my opinion they are really distracting, because instead of looking at the person showing how to do it, you read what's below and I think in this case you'd be able to understand and repeat it just by looking at it. So I think it's unnecessary to talk or even write what to do.

Third video
I came across this video and first impression is, that it looks very professional. Probably because of the quality of the image, and the variety of clear, well thought through shots. Also the all the animations probably helped to make this impression. It has good appropriate sound effects. The talking has been recorded properly so you can hear it loud and clear. Also it must have been scripted because there aren't those moments where people forget their line and don't say anything for a while. It just shows that it's worth thinking the video through before you actually do it. Gives you a way better outcome.

Fourth Video
This is another home video. This girl actually  uses different angles and you can see how much difference it makes, in being able to understand how to do it. This is definitely the way to go. I looked at the time and it took her over 4 minutes to present nowhere near as much as I wanted to, so from here on I start to understand that in my video I will have to not only speed up the footage but also in some way represent time passing by. In my mind I want my video to show the scarf knitting from start to finish, and to do it in 1 minute. Seems like a challenge.
