Mini Paragraph

There are a few things i learned by seeing other peoples films and just observing the effect controls on Premier Pro and that is the lightning of the film, i learned how to make a simple picture look more intmidating by using the lightning. One of thee main videos i've seen that helped me out with alot is John Ferils videos, he always uses the perfect amout of effect consuming onto his pictures or his clip. Anyways these aresome nice things that helped me out and by viewing other peoples videos. Helps me alot and makes my video alot clearer. Im glad i took this class, with out this class i wouldnt know how to edit,effect, film, anything you can imagine.! Thanks Dr. A

Reflecting On Your Blog

Early in the year, I learned the importance of editing, making clean cuts, and filming. You can see that my first film, I didnt do this, especially in the scene where skyler is talking for a while when i know for a fact that i could of made something very creative and i could of make like a jump skip where skyler sais something and then i put another classmate saying something else that makes sense at the same time. On my second project i did i learned how to do Over the shoulder shot . A scene that shows this well is in the film caleld "Over the shoulder play", when we used this shot, we uised it like a play and easy play. Where im conversating with sabrena about how her grandma left her money for college. But someone had to tell sabrena and i was the one who did. After i told her she was very excited. All these clips that i filmed took so much effort to learn how to. I have to thank Dr. A because he would have us practice before we even did a final copy of any effect we tried doing, even cutting, etc. Later in the year, I showed that i really had learned that concept well, since I showed this in the other project. One good example is from our video "Honesty DUUUUDE" in the scene where Taylor and myself leave the beach, it shows us walking away from it then trails out into the sky, so it was a sky shot i guess. But i feel like thats a great thought and became a really good routine for the rest of our video. All in all i felt like taking this class will defintly help me in the long run and i feel like if anyone needs a film edited or something i can be the man for that job. I'd like to thank you Dr. A for all the things you taugh me about creating a film. Or even Filming.

a trip to foreverland

Reflection: There are a few things that this video expresses and it just might be what you all are thinking of but here is the meaning to our video. There is a young boy who is leaving his family to go to his own private school thats located in foreverland. He's going to a new place and he is nervous because he needs to meet new people and he just doesn't know what to expect. So it's time for the young boy to depart from his family. He is saying all of his good byes to his family etc. As he approaches his destination he is amazed on how nice the place really is. As he gets off the train he glances around and sees that one women of his dreams and instanly fell in love. He is now getting comfortable with what he needs to deal with, he is confident, then alot of abstruction occurs and he wakes up. Sadly it was all a dream. And thought it was the best moment of his life. From 0:27 to 0:37 i feel like that effect was excellent because its a picture of a face having tears falling down his face, and we used the wave effect which shows it repeating, just a repetous meaning behind the picture. All the pictures that we showed in our video shows how the saddness of the boy becomes something that had a lot of meaning to it and he is happy with the choices he made. So the the order of how this video goes "feeling wise", Sad to happy back to sad. This video was a huge accopmlishment fior kenzie and myself. I'd have to say that 50% of our video is just pure effect due to time restriction. but we complited it and its still a good video with alot of meaning to it. One thing i learned from my video was that there is no time to waste cause its all the matter of how consistent you can be. A huge contribution the Kenzie made was all the aditing she did an excellent job in total. And a huge contribution i made was finding all the pictures to set the right mooid and tone for our video. THANK YOU DR. A!!

Jabberwocky

Reflection: The special effect i used best was the the wave effect. What this effect does to the images is it makes it look like a wavey type of ideal and just abstract the viewers idea of the image. The mood that this effect gives us is like just layed back relaxed as the image us being viewed. This is our first time using. And i feel like it was a pretty good success, other then having a tad trouble but hey when you over power a trouble you feel like your the leader of the pack. The main idea of this effect was to try and get everything together and become an expert at it. Its just something you need to learn, once you learn how to do it, Just becomes natural.
