    VoiceOver

    by
    For this assignment we really had to use all of our abilities and try and talk about the cinematic elements we learned while editing a scene so that we could voiceover what was happening. I found this assignment to be incredibly difficult because I had never done such a thing like this. It was a ... Read moreVoiceOver

    Video Essay

    by
    This assignment was interesting! It felt very awkward to talk about the scene as it was rolling but I think it turned out pretty okay. This scene is hilarious, the whole movie is really, but I tried not to chuckle too much during recording. ...

    Interview with a Spy

    by
    This week, we had to answer questions in an interview. The answers I provided go with my character Sammy A. Squirrel, however, he is not pictured in the video. The interview questions were interesting, but they were actually not too difficult to answer. I answered seven questions, and the answers all go with my secret

    Where my Shoes take me!

    by
    In this final assignment for this week I chose an assignment that required me to record where my shoes take me in a day. I had to record myself walking all day and then edit all the clips into one video. In the video you see me getting breakfast, walking to class with my cup of coffee, walking to my car after class to go to work, and then coming back from dinner with my friends! This was my favorite assignment of the week because it was fun to make. Having to record little videos throughout the day was enjoyable. I recorded each video on my phone then uploaded them onto my computer and edited it all together into iMovie. I also used the song “Sunset Lover” that I mentioned in my previous post.

    Observe Something Grow

    by
    In this assignment I had to observe something grow! The assignment’s details gave the examples of a flower or a dog, but I decided to do my cat Ozzy. I got Ozzy in August of 2018 and he will be one in June. I have so many videos of him from when he was a small kitten to the fat cat he is now and it’s sweet to have a video of him growing up! To make the video, I used the app “Video Editor” on my phone. I uploaded the videos to the app in the order I wanted them to appear and then added some music overtop. I chose “Sunset Lover” by Petit Biscuit. I have ben having some trouble with iMovie this week, but was told about Video Editor by a friend and it is a life saver!

    Tell Your Character’s Story

    by
    This assignment required me to tell the story of my character through video. However, I decided to change it up a little bit and talk briefly about myself! I used the whiteboard my roommate and I have on our fridge to draw my life. My roommate also recorded this for me so a quick shoutout to her! It was pretty easy to make: I uploaded the video to iMovie and did a quick voiceover with the voice memo app on my phone! In the video I talk about being born in California and then moving to Virginia, then starting college at UMW, and now graduating in May! I’ve seen a lot of Youtubers doing this in videos and thought it would be cool to do my own version!
