• Developing a structured script and plan for each video, highlighting main entrances and important facilities.
• Filming and editing walkthrough videos with clear captions and visual markers.

Reflections:

As the first video project I led, the Building Walkthroughs was a fun undertaking that taught me to be resourceful in the filming and editing process. Filmed entirely on mobile phones, the videos were challenging to capture in such busy environments. However, with some trial and error, our team was able to create a cohesive structure for our videos and publish them on YouTube.
