My experience

My experience in this class was very enjoyable and entertaining. At first I wasnt sure if I was going to enjoy it because I tend to not be thrilled into using cameras and making videos. I was allowed to use my imagination and make my videos into how ever I desired. I do reccomend anyone to take this class because it is very valueable and it teaches you numerous things. Thank you for everything you have taught me and guided me through the process of video making when I was new to this class!

Things I have learned

Various things I have learned taking this class and from reflecting off of other videos is shots and angles, sound effects, video effects, transitions, editing, always smiling:), a positive attitude and to work well as a team. Working together as a team helped me in various ways. Teamwork can build trust and it allows you to get the job done a lot quicker if you are determined to accomplish your goals. looking back at my own films, I have learned that ineed to be quicker with my transitions and that I need to have much more of a creative mind when I am brain-storming ideas for new videos. Making films has taught me that you are in charge of the way you want to make your vidoe and you can do it any way you want as long as it can be understood and it is clean. one thing that I have learned based on my films that I cannot demonstrate is to put more effects and audio into the films.

Reflection on my blog

Early this year, I learned the importance of creating films and determining the values of each video. you can see that in my first film, I didn't do this, especially in the scene when we did the over he shoulder video. At that point, i was still learning all of the instructions on how to make and edit my videos. On my second and third project, I learned how to incooperate special effects into my videos by usiong effect such as distortion and wave warp. The wave warp gave the effect as if something mysterious was going on during in film. Using the effects has helped me in many ways. It helped me in The Water is Wide video because a lot of the scenes were intended to be sbstarct so by using the effects I could make the picture into something new and represent a new meaning. later in the year, i showed that I had really grasped the concept of using adobe premiere as well as many effects inside of this program. Collaborationg with other people while making my videos as well as just in a regular basis in the class gave me inspiration to do things differently in my videos in a better way.I enjoyed working with other people because they would give me different hints on what to do and they helped my level of understanding with using Adobe Premiere better. Also, working with other people helped me in the process of making my videos because when they would teach me something new, I could relate to the way they were telling me how to change things because I was always looking for a better and enjoyable way to make my videos more entertaining. I was proud of my star video because I learned how to make the video all in my own. With the help of classmates teaching me houw to use Adobe Premiere, I could make video exciting by adding effects to the video.

Final Video

My goodbyes film is allowing students to tell any one of the faculty members thank you foranything that they have done for them or that they appreciate about them. The film portrays a very positive and sincere effect!

Abstract Video

1) In the beginning of the fil, there is a princess who is waiting in the woods alone for her prince to come and pick her up.While she waits. she sees her prince from far away.As he gets to her, he picks her up on his horse and rides off. The two of them now are going to the princess' castle where her parenst live.The prince and princesss are there to ask for permission to get married.The dad does not approve so the begin to get upset and storm out of the castle. The prince and princess do not go by what the parenst say about them getting married. A Towards the end of the film, the prince and princess get married and live happily ever after. 2) The pictures that I am most proud of are the clips when the climax starts to build up and the tension between the parents and the princess & prince get heated. 1 min. 30 sec. to 2 min. 20 sec. is when the plot of the story begins to change. theeffect of the anger was a red image which portrayed that the climax was getting upbeat and uprising. Ashley and I were trying to evoke the tone as being a very exciting part at this time in the story. 3) About 40 percent of our film was had an abstract effect. The part in the story that I liked the most that dealt with abstract was when the parents faces were moving and the clip was abstract. we ahd a consistent idea about using the colors of the abstract shapes because the abstract shapes portrayed a calm mood. 4) Using abstract images, I realized that the images had an effect that the film was going to be a different and unique film. 5) The interactions of the music and the images blended very well together. Atfirst it was hard trying to get the timing down with the pictures but overall we did a good job finishing it . 6) The most important contribution my partner made to the film was being a good team member and we worked very well together. I enjoyed working with Ashley because she works efficiently and she is very creative upon her ideas. 7) the most important contribution I made to the film was working well with ashley and when she neede something I was there to hepl her.

Special Effects

1: For the first effect I used the "wave warp". This effect is located under the folder called "distort". I then changed the vertical rate to 0 and the vertical width to 54 to emphasize the motion more. This is found under the "effect controls".  You could use this effect in a movie if someone is dazing off or when someone gets dizzy the room could be spinning in their head.

2: The second effect I used was the "bend " effect. This effect is located under the folder called " distort". I then changed the  wave width to 36 and the wave height to 46 to give the impression that the scene of the film was moving like the waves in an ocean. This is found under the " effect controls". You could use this effect when you are trying to convey the message that someone is underwater maybe or thay are moving slowly.

Jabberwocky Video

Reflection for Jabberwocky
The effect that we used that worked best was the " Bend Effect" I think this effect was the best one because it gave a mysterious effect the the swords. We were trying to convey the message of something that is happening with the sword as if someone used it to murder another character. The idea that we were trying to get across was a very intense and violent idea.
