Premiere Final Draft

Design Process

When designing this video and demonstration of pitching mechanics I show how to hold a baseball when you are pitching. I was trying to decide how to create something a little more energetic and fun for my club “Buff Bee Baseball”. I was originally going to use a voice over demonstration how proper pitching mechanics should be and how to hold a pitch while throwing it. However, I wanted people to be a little bit more excited to play baseball at an elite level and learn some of the basics. Instead of making a longer video shots of the different mechanics of baseball I wanted to focus on a single area. I decided that pitching would be a very good piece of the game because it is one of the most important. Buff Bee Baseball is all very enthusiastic and fun club because we always make sure that we do every thing at 100% that is why I recorded a section of a sound cloud song by Chopstar Dj and used the song “trophies” https://soundcloud.com/chopstardj/trophies-drake-ft-migos-dj  .

Technical Detail

Once I decided on the design of doing the basic mechanics of pitching I had one of my buddies record me going through the motion of pitching mechanics. He recorded my pitching inside even though baseball is played. I created a zoomed in scale of a picture of me zooming in on my face with the baseball dropping down from the top to bottom for some dramatic effect. I added a title page saying “Buff Bee Baseball” while putting in a cross fade on all of my transitions from pitching to words so that they don’t always change abruptly so people the visuals are more relaxing. These were key to my addition of the video because it created a more professional look. When I was making the videos for the different pitches I added texts box that say what the pitch is and a short description of what it does. I could not make a good video on the flight path of the ball so I decided that a description would work just as well. Mechanics are a huge part of baseball so zoomed in shorter clips help my future members of the club. Buff Bee Baseball is all about developing elite players on and off the field which was hard to put in a informational video but This could be used as a ad to help recruit more athletes.
