    After reading Roger Ebert’s article titled “How to read a movie,” I have learned some new ideas about how movies are edited to emphasize specific emotions and add overall tension to a scene. In particular, the part that he discussed that stood out to me the most was about where the actor is placed in a scene. “In simplistic terms: Right is more positive, left more negative.” This applies to the emotions such as happy or mad, but it can also be used to represent other more figurative ideas such as being in the future or the past, depending on…

    Wow, this week was busy as usual, but I learned a lot about video editing! This week’s daily creates are linked below. My favorite assignment this week was this one! At first, I wasn’t sure how I felt about it, but it was fun to figure out how to edit the video and put everything together. Searching online was helpful as always, but once I had the general idea of how to access the tools on the program, it went together smoothly. This week, the second runner-up was the organ recordings that I made, and I hope that that counts…

    Looking over the class’s ideas for a final project was fun! I like the idea of weaving mystery into the projects. This post was great, and I particularly like their vision “to make a story about what would happen if one of the world’s most evil political figures decided to accidentally come back to life in the present day.” I think that would make for an exciting project and would have some funny but probably dark reactions by people. Another great idea was a small group of people in class that want to produce “a multi-media campaign about ocean conservation…

    I was asked to answer some questions about a fun video assignment for this assignment. I think I am getting the hang of editing videos slowly in Final Cut Pro, but I was initially lost with how to add a slide with text responses. I realized, why not just make a PowerPoint with the questions and my responses, then take screenshots of the presentation and add that to the video. I must be lucky because this worked! I also figured out how to change the different tools to cut up the original video and insert my pieces. There are so…

    Break time

    I have been looking at some of the other assignments today, and I have another one almost done, but tonight I decided I needed to practice the organ more. I am preparing for an audition, and I wanted to do some recordings. So this is an assignment that I made up. I uploaded these videos into Final Cut Pro and realized that my phone had the video in the wrong position. I found a way to transform the video, but it put it in a square format… I get super nervous playing for others, and surprisingly recording is worse for…

    Boy, is this week looking tough! I had a hard time choosing which assignment I wanted to tackle today, but I decided on this one! I found an extension for firefox that allowed me to download YouTube videos, which was helpful, and I wish I had seen that earlier in the semester. It is called “Easy YouTube Downloader Express,” which sounds scammy because it probably is, but hey, I gotta do what I gotta do =] So for this project, I had to edit together some clips and alter the speed of the original clip. I also created a Vimeo…
