Parallel Action
For this project we learned what parallel action was. Once we got a good idea of it we had a video we had to edit. We learned about a new software program called Premier Pro.It took a while to learn how it worked. We then took several clips from the video so we could edit them. It was really tough to chose the right clips that were in the original video. I also really struggled to match the clips so that they could run smooth and look natural. After i got it to play smooth i added some sound effects to the video.
13 Shots
My first ever project in this class was 13 shots. It was fun getting to use the camera for the first time. Learning all the different shots was kind of tough. I really struggled getting my project done at first because I was absent during class. I ended up getting it all done and it turned out good.
Radio Commercial
The radio commercial was very fun to work on. I had to learn how to use Adobe Audition for this project. It took a while to learn all of the programs settings and how it worked. I then had to come up with a commercial that was 30 seconds long. This was the most difficult part. I was around the 30 second range, but i still had to figure out how to get the audio to exactly 30 seconds. Then i had to get the audio to the right volume. Once i got done with the difficult steps. I now could add a little fun into my commercial with sound effects and background music.
Video Commercial
I have just finished my most recent project. I had to create a 30 second video commercial. I decided to make my commercial on our school weights program.This project was very fun to do. This was the first time i had to go record clips on my own. I had a few times when i couldn't decide on how to take the shots. Before i started with my shots i went into the studio to record my audio voice over. I really had to take time to edit my voice over. There was also music that I added to the same audio my voice was on. The most difficult part was getting my audio to be in sync with my video. I took different shots of all the weight room equipment that we had in our school. I then took shots of students getting ready to lift. One the beat drop in the music i placed my shots where they were working out and moving in sync with my music. I had to take some time adjusting the clips so that the audio could match. Once i got the audio and video to match I could mess around with the whole video itself. I added some black and white background to the video showing all the equipment. Once the beat drop in the music and the action started i changed it to a blue background where my classmates were working out. This was a very fun project i got to work on. I am an athlete myself and spend a lot of time and dedication in the weight room.
Christmas Greeting
One of our final projects for this semester was a Christmas Greeting. This project was very easy to make. I struggled getting a good quality picture with a Christmas background. I had to record some audio of my greeting. I also added some Christmas music to the background. Then I put the audio along with the Christmas picture together.
Bullying PSA
For our final project we had to make a PSA. I decided to partner up with a friend to make a video. I knew that this video was going to be much fun. It took a while for my partner and i to come up with a story board. We had some great ideas for our video. Unfortunately we had to get rid of some videos. The project had to be 30 seconds long. We had to figure out how to get all the shots we needed in that time. We decided to make a PSA on Bullying. I was the camera man for the whole project. We also decided to add another member into the project he was the kid being bullied. This project was very fun to make. The difficult part was trying to keep the video simple and still get our point out. At the end of the video we had to add a place people could go to get more info on bullying. We also added a few facts on bullying using voice overs throughout our video. We added background music to give the video a sort of sad theme. I think we did a great job\ on this project. It was a lot of fun to make this project.
Buzzed Driving
For our most recent project we had to create another project. We could work on the project with a partner. I did my project with my fellow classmate Corbin Wilkinson. We decided that we wanted to do our PSA on Buzzed Driving. This topic is really big and dangerous so we need to put out some awareness. We first had to get a rough draft of our project to have a good idea on what to do. After watching some simple videos on PSA's we had a good idea. We were kind of in a rush for this project. We couldn't get a good background or use a drinking device to replicate an alcoholic beverage. I shot a few shots of him taking some sips at first. Then one of him begging for more alcohol and getting angry. Then he gets up and leaves out to his car. I then took a few shots of him in his car. Once i finished the shots I put them in Premier Pro and began to edit. I added some tragic background music to give it a better feel. I also made the background black and white. At the end of the clip after the shot of the car i made it fade to a black screen with a car crash sound effect. My project was finally finished after i added a few facts about buzzed driving to my video.
Scary Movie
We recently got a new project assigned on a scary film. We received some shots from a scary movie film. Our job was to edit the clips to make them similar to the original. We had to make sure our cuts very smooth and not too long. If we extended the clips then they would lose the scary story telling. I did some parallel action for a couple of the first shots. It was sometimes hard to get them to line up perfectly. Picking a perfect spot to make the cut was also pretty difficult because you wanted to get the scary point out but it couldn't be too long. The shots we got were also not the greatest ever. i also added some scary music to the background to give it a scary feeling. Once i got this all lined up i added some credits at the end of the video because the film was not made by me. I have to reward the producer for his work. Once i got this done my project was now complete. This was one of the longest projects I've worked on in class. this was because the original clips were very long and I had to shorten them. I was now ready to turn my assignment in and upload it onto YouTube.
Chase Scene
We are getting ready to head into spring break. I had a final project to work on before we headed into break. I had to create a foot chase scene. There was some research I did to figure out what kind of shots would make the video look professional. I learned the triangle camera angle method. This helped get an all around point of view of what was going on. I struggled getting people to film because they also needed help with their projects. It took some patience to be able to get started on my project. I decided to have a sort of creepy guy stalking and chasing another person. It was a very fun project to work on. the end of the video i had the bad guy choke out the victim and went to a black screen. I then imported my footage onto Premier Pro where i would start to edit. I just had to make sure the videos had matched action so that they would look smooth. I then added tome music to give it a more of a panic mode type of feeling. Once I adjusted the audio my video was almost complete. Then I added some transitions in between the clips and some credits at the end of the video. The video was complete and ready to upload. I really enjoyed working on this project because we added some fun to it.
