For my final version, I focused on fixing the rough parts in my draft so the story feels clearer and easier to follow. My project talks about dual language programs and why they help children. This topic connects to my course theme because I used visuals, narration, and layout choices to communicate information in a direct way. My draft had the main ideas in place, but the pacing and flow were not consistent. Some clips were too long, and the transitions felt stiff. I also noticed that the video needed stronger audio support to keep viewers engaged. Peers pointed out that adding subtitles would help make the information easier to understand, especially for people who prefer to read along or watch without sound. Based on that feedback, I made three main changes. First, I fixed the clips by cutting out parts that slowed the video down. This made the information easier to process and kept the viewer focused on the topic. Second, I added background music that I chose myself. The music gives the video a steady tone and helps carry the narration. Third, I added subtitles for the full narration. This made the video more accessible and clearer for a wider audience. To make these updates, I used Adobe Premiere. I trimmed clips, adjusted their order, and added new transitions so the cuts feel cleaner. I lowered the volume of the background music to keep my voice clear. I used the text tool to line up each subtitle with the audio. These steps improved the technical quality of my project and helped the story feel more organized. These revisions made the final video stronger. The pacing is smoother, the audio is more consistent, and the subtitles help the viewer follow the message. The updates also show a more intentional use of design principles from the course, like clarity, hierarchy, and audience centered communication.
