Holiday Greetings

I think that on our video me and my partner, Luis, did a good job on communicating and making it clear that we were having a conversation and not just giving random information to one another. We made sure that our backgrounds did a good job repreasenting the culture that we were doing to appear as if we were really around that type of environment. I believe our titles and credits were done well and weren't too boring or un-creative. We did not put music but towards the end during Luis's last few lines we included a sound of bells ringing to make it see more real that the festival was starting and that tells the people of the culture that it is also time to get ready for there annual traditions. If I could do something different to our video that I noticed in two other videos would be to add music and a more creative title to grad the audiences attention much better and more quickly! Also, I would like to add a more interesting effect by using some type of prop to be more festive! I liked how those groups put that stuff because I was interested in what they had to say and enjoyed watching. To create our video we used premiere pro and then imported it to after effects to set our background picture using a greenscreen and then we went back to premiere pro and did all of our edits on there. My partner and I worked equally throughout the whole process of making our video and basically just gave our input into every decision we made on the way our video would be setup or done. If I had another chance to do this I would want to put more effects and music to make it more realistic!

Greenscreen Workshop

A green screen allows a person to put any background on a video to make it seem like they are somewhere else. It is important that you do not wear any sort of green while filming because it will blend in with the background. There can be problems with the green screen such as things like green outlines, and dots of green color if it is not done correctly and many other tiny details! I think using Adobe Premiere Pro was easier than using After effects because I have had more practice with it and know what I am doing much more.

Likes: michael's group!

I absoulutely loved this video! There was a lot of comedy that I am interested in because it's random and out of nowhere. This was important because it made me want to watch it more and listen to what it had to say. If could cause me to be interested, then I am sure it will catch the attention of any audience member! Although it was a silly video there were many serious messages given off. It was very creative to mix comedy in to a serious matter and I think they did a splendid job doing so!

Likes: Eddy's group!

In this video, I think this group did a very great job in putting cool effects that made the video interesting to watch. There was a variety of effects that showed how they put extra effort in to making this the best that they could! I like how every interview looks official and has important information to go along with it.

Final Draft- Cyberbullying

In our video I am most proud of our introduction beause we worked really hard on it and it paid off because it looks cool and cathes your attention as soon as it starts.
Someone told us to put fading into some of the ending clips because it creates a really dramatic effect and it's true. It made a huge difference and emphasized the sad moments.
In our final video we changed a lot of the little details such as things like music in the background and wrong inpoints and outpoints to make it flow more smoothly.
If we had another day or two, it would be nice to change the ending credits to make them look more official and colorful to show the effort we put into our entire video.
If we could start this project all over I would definitely want to change the footage we got. Well, not necessarily change it but get more shots and interviews of people.
Now I have come to the conclusion that making videos are not as easy as they look and it takes more than just video taping any random information to make a successful and interesting video!
What other thoughts do you have about your own project?

Titles!

Titles 1
This is an example of a default still title, which means it is used as an opening to the video. You might use this kind of title when you want to add information at the beginning, middle, or ending of a video.



Titles 2
This is an example of a lower third title, which means the title is at the bottom corner of the clip while it is playing. You might use this kind of title when you want to add information on the subject that is on the screen.



Titles 3
This is an example of a template title, which means premiere pro already had it ready and you just have to type in your title. You might use this kind of title when you want show some creativity that might go along with the theme.

Lifting & Extracting

Extract
A simple cut in the timeline means you are making a cut in the clips you are putting together. When you cut, the other clips in the timeline you leave a gap between the clips.
A ripple edit is when you cut a clip and do not leave a gap in between the clips. You do this by choosing the clip of your choice and right clicking it. When you ripple delete, the other clips to the right of the deleted clip will move over and make space for the new clip.
Lifting and extracting are two ways to cut a clip at one time. To do this, you select the inpoint and outpoint you want for the clip in the program pannel and click the extract or lift button.
Lifting is like is like cutting, while extracting is like a ripple delete, in terms of what happens to the other clips in the timeline.
This is an example of an extracting edit. I decided to extract the two clips where I did because it made the video flow better.

Insert & Overlay Worskshop

Overlay
This is an example of an overlay edit. An overlay edit places a clip on top of an existing clip and replaces that percise section with that clip. To do this, you drag your clip from the sorce panel to the timeline and place it where you want. I decided to overlay the 2nd clip where I did because I wanted to show a different event other than the one that was playing. I did the format incorrectly because i should have put it on widescreen 48khz.





Insert
The difference between an overlay and an insert edit is an overlay is when a clip is placed on top of another clip that basically takes away the piece that the clipped was overlayed on. An insert is when you place a clip in between an existing clip, so it is like a pause.
You would use an overlay in sports while you’d use an insert edit when you are trying to create a dramatic effect and show a different thing then what it is shown previously. In this case the insert edit works better because the overlay edit is slighty awkward and takes away from the action at hand. We formatted this video incorrectly; it is supposed to be in 48KHz Widescreen.

Baler Pride

I think, all together, my video came out pretty good and all of my cuts were just on tact. They went very good together and they weren't at random. The title is just the right size with very clear words and it also reflects on what the video is about. Except for the first video every inpoint and outpoint to each clip are well timed and flow together. I'm happy with the way my video came out. Next time i'm going to work on making it longer and adding a lot more information. I did not have a partner for this project so i would say that i did even better, being that i did not have any help. It has my own ideas and it is simply original.

Patience

My reflection is in my notebook!
The video taught me to be patient.
