Learning Objectives: In this lab, we learned how to work with video editing software. We downloaded a clip of Hitchcock and two other clips of our choice. Then, using the editing software, we changed the meaning behind his smile with a simple video clip. Equipment List: A computer or some device to download video clipsContinue reading "Lab – Video Making"

It’s hard to believe we are at the end of the semester. I feel I’ve learned so much in this class and truly had fun learning all of it. I have a way better grasp on Photoshop than I did in August, and even this final project had me learning new things. During brainstorming IContinue reading "Final Presentation – Impress Me!"
The semester is finally over! With this last final project, we had a choice between “Impress Me!” (me being the professor) and creating a fast food parody. I opted to go with “Impress Me”. It was much more open ended and basically had no parameters, so it was difficult to decide what to do and […]
My goal is to impress you with this final assignment. When I first started working on this assignment it started off as a progression video. However, my laptop’s logic board broke and I lost everything on my computer, including my final and everything we’ve done throughout the semester. So, back to the drawing board IContinue reading "Final: Impressing you"

After learning some more about design such as what to look for, gain inspiration from, and include in my own work, I was ready to go out and identify some design techniques. I happened to be going out of town the same weekend andContinue reading "Week 6 Summary"

This week, we finished our min documentary. At first, this project was really stressing me out (it still kinda is), but now that I’ve gotten the interview part out of the way, the rest wasn’t so bad. I decided to interview Sivy. I met her through a friend on campus. Me and Sivy don’t have […]
The luckiest day in the world starts at 12pm because the earth’s rotation slowed down for a second and we got lucky enough to survive. We survived because of the aliens that like us, from some amount of luck and wanted to help us. This assignment was to write about the luckiest day in theContinue reading "Lucky Lucky Lucky"
I created short videos with three shots from Avengers: Infinity War. I replaced the middle shot to give each video a different meaning. I always thought Peter’s reaction was funny, so I decided to replace the original clip with another scene. In this scene, Thor was talked about in the totally opposite way.
For this assignment, I watched one minute of Spider-Man. Within this one minute, I counted 36 camera changes and edits. I figured it would be a high number of editing considering it is an action superhero movie. The faster the scene is, the more camera shots there seem to be. I compared this scene withContinue reading "Movie Editing"
This week was all about video editing. Our first assignment to complete was to guess the number of cuts that would take place in a movie scene. I chose a scene from Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse. I wanted to watch an animated movie scene to see if editing is different compared to a live action […]
For my three daily creates this week, I made a color palette, summarized a classic book, and helped Todd climb the leaderboard. To make my color palette I used adobe color. I uploaded a picture of a flower and it created the palette for me. To summarize a classic in one sentence, I chose The […]
Our big project for the next few weeks is to create a mini documentary about someone in our community. It also has to be someone I don’t really know, which makes this a million times harder. Throughout the week, I’ve been trying to figure out who I’m going to interview. I honestly think think this […]
For the assignment bank this week, we had to do two video assignments – the hitch cut and one of our choice. I did the hitch cut assignment first. This assignment showed how changing the clips in editing gives the video a whole different feeling. In the example, there is clip of a woman and […]
For this assignment, we had to pick a scene from a movie from the MovieClips channel on YouTube and count the number of cuts that would happen. I chose a scene from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. I thought it would be interesting to see how cuts in an animated movie compare to a live action […]
