Blog Reflection

      Early in the year, i learned the importance of taking my time on the videos and making sure that they were as good as they could be. you can see this in my first film, i didn't do this, especially in the beggining scene with my title, because it was off to the right and my camera work was horrible. on my second project, i learned how to make the cuts cleaner, but they were not quite perfect. the movie "Baler Interviews," really shows my cutting and in and out points all in work. Later in the year, I had showed that i had learned that concept very well, since i showed this in other projects. one good example is from "cyber-bullying" in the scene when we cut from an interview about cyber-bullying into a group of girls yelling, :"Cyber-bulling is bad!"

     some things i learned about film making, would be the rule of thirds, and that you need to keep your shots consistent. i can demonstrate with a video of my own about the rule of thirds but i feel it is so important that i need to mention it anyways. the rule of thirds clearly states that an object needs to be in one of the intersecting lines in the grid of thirds which looks like this #. now the other thing i cannot demonstrate is keeping our shots consistent. i can give you two examples of of this, one is in ryan's values video and another is in "stomp the yard" they are very noticable and make the shots look kind of bad


    i would like to say that this class helped me to learn alot about videos and computers and editing.  the teacher was very helpful, and explained throughly about what to do and how to do it. he helped us learn alot and we learned alot of manners under his teaching to.

Bend Effect

To do the bend effect you drag a video clip into the time line, then you open the folder video effects, and you go down to the folder distort, then you add bend to the video clip in your video timeline. After yoou do that you go to the project panel and you change it so that the video will easily change the way the video bends and moves in the clip. After you change the effects you can put in keyframes to change the way that the bend effects the video and how crazy it moves.

Strobe

to do this effect is easy. you just drag the video and add the desired strobe effect to the clip. then you drop the folder down and click stylize and you will see the effect strobe light. i added two effect to increase the strobe light effect. then you see a way to change the color and i left it white but for the second one i changed it to a bright red. then i randomly played with the effects of the way to edit it and i got lucky with the efects and then boom! this video clip was super crazy strobe light.

Jabberwocky

We used the effect "Solid Composite" the best. we used this effect in the beggining with the dead man on the floor, and it starts to flash red and then goes back to normal, then we went back to red to try and show the man was dead, James Bond style. We tried to commuicate a kind of jolly mood with all the other pictures being happy people and what not, except for the beggining, it was a sad serious mood because the man died.  we showed funny pictures, and happy people, then we made kind of silly effects to show a happy mood.

Directors Cut

i noticed that we did not focus almost half of the time and that alot of the stuff we filmed we did not use.
we realized that we worked hard to make this film and we had a lot of fun making this film.
we left out all the work that actually went into it like the planning and the storyboards and what not. we also left out a bunch the actual footage that we actually took, we lost all of the footage of us working on our script and storyboards so we just put in the bloopers and talked about how we had a hard time working with this directors cut.
