This final project I want to re-enact a movie scene or multiple scenes from the 80’s Movie Footloose from Willard’s point of view. I will use my family and friends to act out the different features as well as some of myself along with taking the videos and editing the …
This week has been different than the rest. This week has been different because we have done mashup assignments and remixes of old assignments. I found the mash up assignments to be easy and allowed me to be super creative which I enjoyed and the remixes were fun because I …

This assignment was a lot of work. I didn’t know what I was doing and was playing around with Filmora 9 as well. This assignment was to sped up parts of the video as the transition into the next video for 3 assignments. I did start to enjoy the editing …
I am really liking the idea of rewriting the dialogue from an 80’s movie and make it accurate to 2019. This is kind of like when Footloose was remade from the 80’s to 2011 and things were more modern but kept the same story line.
I also like …
This video was a different experience. I decided to use a different video editing software that left a watermark because I only have the free form. This assignment was to create a stop motion video with pictures and movies for 3 stars. I used Wondershare Filmora 9 the free version …

This assignment is about making a story with daily creates and connecting them together. This took a lot more thought than I originally anticipated. I still thought it was fun just really odd for a different thought process.
I am combining some posts from last week along with the 3 …
This week we got to hear some radio shows that we created the last few weeks. I enjoyed listening to everyone’s but still don’t really like hearing my voice from a recording. I listened to one yesterday about 80’s fashion trends and they did a great job. I love how …
