Explore A/V Semester Reflection

During the 1st semester of my sophomore year in video, my classmates and i learned did multiple projects. We started the year with an easier project to get us back into the swing of things by doing a video of a simple school procedure. https://youtu.be/mhJxkTW6w_U Jake and i did our video over the proper way to go to and use the new water fountains in our school.
The video itself was a short video but betrayed a procedure. I feel like Jake and i did a good job on that one. The next thing we did was got together with a new partner and did the audio for a story. https://youtu.be/gRUxJZFZ4mo I did mine over Evan's summer trip to florida and that project was a bit easier because we didn't have to have b-roll. I feel like i did a good job with tying the story together through voice overs. The next project was the same idea as the audio story but pulled in j/l edits and b-roll. I did my story over Drew playing the piano.
 I feel like some clips were fast but otherwise i feel like that was really good story. I think i did good with that story. The next project was the blood drive and we filmed it as a live event. I didn't get to film that because i was giving blood but i took what i was given and made a story out of it. I think i did a pretty good job but the audio levels may have been a bit off. The most recent project we've done is the onw now project. Chelsea and i did a video over finals, but we haven't done the actual filming of the whole thing because we are doing ours tomorrow but i feel like it will go well because we are prepared. I feel like the only major major issue i faced throughout the whole project was not having enough B-roll. I feel like i made it work with what i had but i feel like next time I'm filming B-roll ill be sure to film way more. This semester the major things i learned were j/l edits are, how to detach audio and make it play through both ears then collapse it, and how to hold a camera without a tripod. I also learned how to better work with others to make a better end project, and how to take charge and lead a group. I learned that I'm good with project management. Next semester i hope that i will improve on my overall end products. Im really excited to begin entertainment. Overall this semester was a great one and i learned a lot from my teachers and classmates!

Hobbies Project

The hobbies I did my project over were Cheerleading, Dancing, Cats, YouTube (Troye Sivan), and Demi Lovato. I edited my video using Final cut pro. While using Final cut pro I figured out a bunch of things I didn’t know I could do, such as how to detach audio and delete it. I also learned how to make and edit a video.   The reason I chose cheerleading is because I did it for the past two years, and it’s been an interest of mine. The reason I chose dancing is because dancing has always been one of my hobbies but over the course of the past two year I’ve been taking it more seriously. The reason I chose cats is, come on, everyone loves cats. The reason I chose YouTube is because I’ve been making and watching videos since 2009. The reason I chose demi Lovato is because she is a strong independent woman figure. I hope you enjoy my video!

Animation; A man, A corn-dog, And A loss.

This video shows a happy man who swings, and dances but isn't content until he remembers the taste of the wonderful corn-dog. He decides to get a corn-dog but then someone took it from him! *gasp* follow tim the stick man in this crazy adventure and tale of love and loss. -In this project the main concept was to take nothing and make moving art into a store. We were also asked to use sound and effects to help make the image give an illusion that its moving. -Before we went to the computer we made a storyboard showing details about the story we wanted to tell. After that was done we went to keynote and made what we imagined on the computer. We then after went to iMovie and finished our projects adding sounds. We then after exported it and put it on blogger. -During this project i learned a lot about how animation is made and the different ways that its made. i also learned that its easier to duplicate the whole thing and move little pieces to make it flow. -In my next projec

6 shot sequence

The 6 shot sequence is a variety of shots that tell the viewer more about what the character is doing but in less frames. the 6 shots are: close up extra close up medium over the shoulder wide extra wide What I learned while making this project is that it is very hard to put videos together and make them flow. I also learned that is would have been more helpful to record longer videos so you can have a variety of footage to chose from. I also learned that its more beneficial to take the time to chose the right music to match the type of video. when  making my next project I will be sure to spend more time on the editing process and more time recording quality footage.
