Exploring Video Final

Exploring Video Final 

feature story 

ONW 1 in 2000 project goal was to interview someone that our group decides that had the most interesting Summer. This happened to be me because I went to china for a Summer vacation with my family. this projects took around a week to film and edit, and then re-edit, but our group had a difficult time with the audio not recording on the first take, witch costed us one day of editing. challenges that we faced was the audio not recording, that was the major problem. but then there was one problem that I had with the film because it became corrupted and I had to restart the intro witch was a difficult challenge. Feed back that I was given, was whenever their is a transition the lighting effects did not look as smooth as they could've. whenever it was re edit day I applied the same effects to all of the video and added some B roll to scenes where there is a transition. My opinion of this project, I loved this project mostly because I got to be interviewed and I liked the effects I put on the intro. 

feature story #2 

This project was the future story #2, its the same concept as #1 but over a different topic, in this case the topic is about the 2017 marching band. I cannot remember how long this video took but my best guess is that it took a week to film and edit like all the other projects. challenges that my group faced was that miles and I both where in the marching band for early morning rehearsals so we could not get any B roll that we filmed, so we took some from the servers. something that ai learned is how to use key framing better than I have been, because the thought the video their are allot of key framed effects. Feedback that I can remember is to film in a location where their is no noms coming from other class rooms. In the re-eddit I changed the sounds so that their was less background noise and more vocals coming from the people being interviewed. My opinion over this video is that this project was ok, I didn't like this vide as much as the first feature story. 

Nathan contreras OP-ED

This projects is called an OP-ED witch is used in journalism and interviewing people. The best way to describe an OP-ED is, OP-EDs are the persons opinions about a subject. This assignment was to creation OP-ED about your personal opinion about raven 50 and provide pros and cons. this project only took two days because OP-EDs anent supposed to take a bunch of time they are really short and to the point. their where not that many challenges that I faced but one of them was when recording I did not really know what to say. I learned how to make a journalism story using OP-EDs to share an opinion over a subject witch was really neat because I notice them whenever I read a news article. Feed back that I was given is to look at the center of the camera instead of looking away from time to time and try to stay as perfectly still as possible. I tried to change these thing but I couldn't really because OP-EDs aren't supposed to have any B roll. My opinion over OP-EDs are that they seem pointless but they are important to sway opinions in news articles. 

How did I spend my time in class 

I would say that I spend my time in class to the most of the ability, because their are some students that sit in class and talk the entire hour waiting to las Minuit to do the the project. but I spin the entire hour working on the given projects. Sometimes that I would finish early I would get on my phone but thats only after the blogger and the videos are turned in. And I will also go over the edited video if I have allot of time left. To better a project it would be a benefit if you revise the blogger article or even re-edit some of the videos in class instead of doing nothing. My parents pay for the adobe software because they think e-comm is awesome. and because I have this they crate projects for me for example my dad recorded his golf outing so he wants me to edit the videos he took and he's going to show it at his next meeting. 

Areas of strength 

My strengths being a e-comm student is planning and producing because I can see in my head how I want a scene to look then I can make that scene using some editing on the computer. to maximize my strength I practice it at home like I said in the paragraph above. areas that need improvement are all of the simple things that add up towards the end and can end up making the video look bad, like transitions and coloring effects. 

ONW sophomore addition 

This project was a little confusing for me because I missed school for the first 3 days that we started to film the segments of the ONW now, my group even though I was not their said I was apart of that group. even though I didn't help my group film their was another group that needed to interview a band student so I volunteered to be interviewed. so at least I was able to be in the ONW now with was really cool. I learned through this that being apart of journalism type films is really complicated and their is allot more to it than it looks. 

Summary 

I loved most about this semester is using adobe premire pro to make edits to. video that I recorded witch was a really fin experience to do with my groups that Ive had all semester, looking forward tonic semester. something that I would change or do differently is make sure that the camera is taking in the sound because that is the 1 thing that I have had the most trouble with all year. Things that I learned was a little bit of everything. because their where effects that I did not know where possible in E9 but I learned the effects panel and the colors mostly. One goal That I would like to set for next semester is have less things that need to be edited on re-eddit day. Final thoughts that I have is that, on the first day of school we where told what this semester would be about and I thought that it sounded really lame and not interesting witch at the end I found that it was really fun and next semester might be even better.
