Video Process
This video was inspired by the assignment called Make a Top 10. It gave me the idea to list 10 characters who were similar to my character Runa Starr, but I wanted all my characters to come from the same type of media which is why I chose to do books since I read a lot and already knew many characters that fit her. For my video I chose to create it with TikTok since it has many editing options for me which helped a lot because I had a cool idea of trying to do transition shots for the first time by changing the books’ covers in the middle of the video by pausing and then replaying for each transition. I made my bookshelf the background since it fit the theme. Also the audio I chose was because I wanted a soundtrack that sounded powerful since the goal of my video is to recommend books with headstrong women. Lastly, I added the name of the characters and the books they’re from in front of each book to make it easier to recognize what I’m recommending.
