Early in the year, i learned the importance of completing all of the workshops and understanding the topics. You can obviosly see that im ny first couple of films i did not do a good job of this at all. For example editing the films and using great camera angles I did horrible. For example, the first big project on cyberbullying and sexting, our camera angles were very wrong and messed up. Some scenes were way too dark in the background, too far zoomed up, or our actor were way too far back. It wasnt untill i learned about the rule of thirds and all the different camera angles, where I started to have good clips. I laugh when i watch that video because it was so badly filmed and edited on my part.
Later in the year our groups videos starting becoming very good. As i got more comfortable filming and acting we recieved very good clips. I believe my best work with this was our Final Project. The camera angles and rule of thirds were at its best while filming this project. We had a very expierenced camera girl with Bree Casas and the clips showed. We had fantastic acting as well with Michael Rodriguez and Damon Perez. This video just shows you how much I learned during this whole year.
As I got more comfortable with everything in Priemere Pro, the videos started looking professional as well. I learned how to edit videos to look extremly crisp and effiecent. Once i got comfortable with editing, I learned how to add special effects because of the sandbox workshop. Creating videos with special effects was challenging at times but overally extremely fun. The videos using special effects was the "Jabborwocky" project and "The Water is Wide" project. The "Water is Wide" project was one of my favorite projects all year. We took a beautiful piece of music and transformed it into a story. Laura and I did an extremely good using the effects on pictures and titles. This project was one of my favorites because it was usiojg clips, acting, and using special effects all in one video! This year was extremely fun, and mostly this was because of the hardwork from everybody in the class and the fantastic teachings of Dr. A. He was very patient while teaching and got his point across when were learning a new topic. I feel very confident in making videos now. One reason why i loved this class was because it was a great transition from taking notes all day long. We had mor "Hands On" learning which is perfect for me. I am so glad i took this class. Thank You Dr. A!
Sincerely,
