End of the year Reflection

      Early in the year, I learned the importance of the screen format. You can see that in my first video, I did not do this, considering the fact that the screen was incredibly tiny. On my second project, i learned how to make the screen bigger, and how to make the clips flow more smooth, i can not stress how important it is for the video to be edited smoothly and not all choppy. A scene that shows this well is in the film called "Cyberbullying is bad" when the interviews are going nice, the only thing I would have changed about that was sometimes trees in the background looked like the were attached to the people being interviewed.
      
     Later in the year, I showed that I really had learned the concept well, ssince I showed this in other projects. One good example is from "Baler Pride" in the scene when all the students were saying what makes them so proud to be a baler.

     I feel I have learned so much this class from crazy effects to sound. I really think it helped alot when we would watch video examples of the new topic we were about to work on. Also, I think I learned the most from the worksheets we would do when learning about all the different camera angles. It helped having to draw pictures of the angles too, it made them stick in your head and really grasp the angles.

    
    My overall experience in this class has been awesome. Sometimes i found this class a little frustrating like when learning about the ripple delete and all. Luckily this class was like a giant family and everyone supported eachother and helped them out a lot.

Recycling/ final project

Sequence 01 1

  In this shot we used twirl and threshold. We animated it by toning the color and we also re-distorted  the chracters face. Overall this was a pretty simple process to complete!

Sequence 01

The first effect we used was the twirl effect, amd in order to get that we had to go to the effects box in Premiere Pro and click on twirl. We adjusted how the twirl would look. Then we used the wave warp effect. Alexis and I changed the saturation setting and the speed of the waves. We aslo changed the shape of the wave.
These effects could be used in a move to distort faces and make them kind of look like monsters, which has similarities to the effects in spy kids.

Reflection on Holiday Greeting Video

In looking back, and thinking about what my partner and I did a good job on is the our conversation is, it is informative and it sound like we are really talking to eachother. We really did a great job with the pictures that we picked out, and our music.

What I saw in other videos that  i thought was really cool was the sound effects. I really l;iked this because it seemed very realistic, and believable that our classmates were really there.

I focused on the editing, and part of the script. I tried to perfect the editing to the best of my ability, but because the performances on the script were a little sloppy because it was our first time with a script, it was challenging to edit.

I helped my partner by explaing to her certain staeps we had to do, or if she didnt know how to do something, I told her how to do it. Alexis helped me out by coming in after school to finish our video when i couldn't come in to do it.

If i could change anything it would be the fact that i'm invisible, the editing should be more smooth.

Holidays!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

final draft cyberbulling video

Cyberbulling Reflection

      I think that my group and I have done a good job, but there are some things we need to work on. When went through our video with Dr. A, we noticed on some of the interviews there was trees coming out of people's heads, we needed to add bullet points, some copyright isssues, and some pictures may have been too strong.
      When  I read the comments, I noticed people thought that our video was serious, and help them realize that cyberbulling shouldn't be taken lightly, so that helped to give us reassurance that we are doing a good job on staying on track. On one comment inpaticular I really appreciate how they suggested that we should add more information on sexting, though i do not agree with it because our video is not about sexting, it is about cyberbulling.

Title's Reflection

 The first video is an example of  a before the clip title, which means you might use this kind of title to introduce someone, or something. It tells the veiwer what the main topic or subject of the video is.

The second video is an example of a lower third title, which means you might use this kind of title when one might be interveiwing, and the person wants to show what the interview is about.

The third video is an example of a seperate still title, which means you might use this kind of title to keep consistency throughout the whole clip.

lifting and extracting workshop

A simple cut in the timeline means that there will be a gap where the clip once was inserted. When you cut the other clips in the timeline it doesnt really flow nicely together. A ripple edit is when you delete a clip and you shift the remaining clips over to fill in the space. Lifting and extracting are two ways of deleting a clip at a time.

   I am happy with the way I edited. I think that I am getting better at memorizing how to work the program. On my next project I would like to become more independent and need so much help. My partner helped me with a lot because I wasn't sure of a few things.

                Creating the video was very challenging for me. There was so many steps to follow, and if the wrong button was pushed then everything would get chaotic. I am by far very slow when it comes to learning about computers. what i liked about the whole experience, is that it actually helped me to understamd technology a little more.
