Week 7 & 8 Finalising Infographic Video

Originality&Creativity

There were only 2 weeks left until the deadline for the video arrives. My teammates wanted my video to be more eye-catching, intriguing and interactive, so I went to Powtoon and worked on it.

I couldn't get everything done in Week 7, since it takes some time to create infographic videos, but I made good progress. I used some of the information from my previous research and the draft edit to combine and form this new video. Since I did research on this topic many times, I was more knowledgeable as to the related websites and infographics. I knew a variety of pictures, animated props and information in short concise language was needed, so I had to tell myself not to write too much.

I wanted my infographic video to be powerful and really get its meaning to the viewer. My goal is for them to understand what human trafficking is, why it is so dangerous and methods of prevention. I had to adjust a few things, such as not making the video too light-hearted as the topic is quite dark and dangerous.

Along the way, I found many disturbing statistics and information. It was quite unnerving to see so many of these evil crimes being committed everywhere in the world and not much has been done against it.

Human Trafficking Overwhelming Statistic, this link shows that human traffickers earn billions and billions of profit by committing such dastardly crimes. I also found many other sources that show unexpected statistics. I also learnt that approximately 27-30 million people are being trafficked at any given time, which is extraordinarily startling and extremely daunting.

By the start of Week 8, I worked on the last couple slides. I selected different animations and effects to make it interesting, and tried around with changing the background colour. I was done before the end of the lesson and had to convert my Powtoon to YouTube so people could view it. When I double-checked everything was fine I uploaded it and sent it to my teammates for editing and review. Here is the link to the final video-  Final Infographic Video-Information Designer
