Week 14

Winding down the semester, me and Ian started the final video edits and finishing touches for the parachute packing video. Initially we thought the best idea would be to capture us packing the parachute from start to finish then do a voice over. We ultimately decided that we would instead insert photos of the training manual. This would include graphics of the training manual on how to pack the parachute. This would limit or even eliminate the need to open the training manual and search through it to find the section on packing. The parachute packing section in the manual also needed to be worked on. There were sections that did not meet our expectations. In the beginning of the video, we put disclaimers and guidelines to follow. These included following the video exactly how it is, asking instructor for further information if needed, and not packing the parachute if the packer was not 100% sure of their actions. We put these in here because the parachute is the only way to land and is the most important item on the air frame. Not packing it correctly could lead to catastrophic damage not only to the air frame but also to the sensors on board.

Using Windows Movie Editor we cut and pasted different parts
of the video. We also sped up redundant parts to eliminate wasted
time.

At the beginning of the video, viewers are instructed to
pause the video when training manual content shows up.
This enforces the notion that all steps will be followed exactly. 

The video did not take us long to make. The edits and making sure we put everything in the video that had to be said did take us awhile. We made slight changes to our content by adding in some addition steps. Something me and Ian did not do during the semester that we thought would be a good idea is to put a label on the parachute bag. This would include the packers names, date, and time. For future classes this would show who packed the parachute and when in case anything were to happen.  Below is the link final video.

how the bag should look before it is placed in.
