Feedback on VC communicator

Describe the general process (from idea to completion) for creating a video using Visual Communicator. What are three design related tips to remember when creating a VC presentation? What were the two best and two worst aspects of the conflict video project?

First you have to come up with the topic you want to make a VC presentation on, which you could choose anything you want from A to Z, from apples to zebras. Then when you know what your topic is, you write the script. After the script is completed, you write the story board. The story board is very helpful, because you write down when you want to show a picture, at what line, and how to show it, like fade in or clip in. Then after you have your script and story board you are ready to start filming. Now for the communicator program, I was sick when my class went through how to do it. But when I was filming, my three advices are : don't speak to quickly, take a deep breath and talk clearly and normally; secondly put the scroll speed at a paste where you are looking up at the camera, and not looking down; and thirdly have a good timing for the transitions, when you want to show your pictures or change to another person.

Two of the worst aspects of the VC project were that 1) my scroll speed was very slow that I read ahead, so I wasn't looking into the camera, I was looking down almost the entire time. And at one point I had to slow down because I had to say one line when a picture appeared, so, I said the line very slowly, then I had to pause for a long time. 2) I forgot to add what kind of war the Vietnam war was, which I might get points of.

Two of the good things about the VC project were 1) that when I came back to school, my partners had done all of their parts, and it was just my part left to do, which was very easy. And 2) we had different backgrounds for all three of us. And the name of our station was called "History conflicts" instead of "CNN" like most people had.
