Video Assignments

The first assignment I did these two weeks was Play by Play. I really enjoyed inserting my own commentary into a video that I watched. It was a cool experience to have my own input and to hear it play outloud.

The second assignment I did this week was Return to the Silent Era. It was really fun to turn a trailer for a movie and make it “silent movie-esque.” It took a lot of time to add all of the captions to the video, but it turned out really well and flowed easily from one phrase to the next.

The third assignment I did this week was Character/Genre Mashup. This was definitely my favorite assignment of these past two weeks but absolutely took the longest. It took forever to search through videos to find ONE scene (sometimes two) that I wanted. Each clip lasted about 10 seconds or so, which meant having to find quite a few to cover a song that lasts about three and a half minutes.

Reflection

It was really cool being able to tell stories through video this week. I found that it was exciting to see what kind of changes I could make that would impact everything about that particular video.
