Reflection On Holiday Video

1. Personally, I liked our video despite the time we had to work on it. I wished we could have dedicated more time to it but all in all it came out really good especially after hearing the comments made by the class. I thought that our choice of music was really good and especially in the OMISOKA commercial because it added a very serene sort of vibe to the whole video. As for the pictures, i agree with Cody, it added a nice contrats and i think it engulfed our audience more into the video. However, our edits were not the best and i wish we could have perfected them more and an example is when you catch me and estefania off guard in the Iroquois Ceremony video around half way through. In terms of creativity i also think it was pretty good and liked how me and my partners chemistry showed because it sounded like we were having a conversation as opposed to reading a script.
2. Something i really liked was in Cristables video, her music. i thought the music was really good and it brought a very positive and up feeling to her video that i think would have been nice to incorporate in our video. I also liked that people brought props to their video and i felt thsat that emphasized the creativity of their video and if we were to have done that then our message would have come out more clearly.
3. I specifically, chose the music for both videos with consent of estefania, of course, but i was the one in charge of getting the music and seeing what was needed and which one would fit more accurately depending on the flow of our video.
4. I think we did a really good job oif working toghether because we pretty much seperated the video and we each did half of the work at all times. We also agreed on about everything all the time. However my partner helped me with the greenscreen because i had forgotten some things but she remnindeed me how tyo do them and thats how we pulled through. Actually, i have to admit that she did almost all the editing and the greenscreen editing too. But by her doing that she showed me and refreshed my memory on how to perform the edits and the greenscreen.
5. I think that we would p[ractice our script more to the point where we could memorize it, that way we would not have to edit or cut any parts of the script and thus it would not be evident that we did cuts and we would not be jumping around in the video. I think this would also allow more flow to the video and add to its smoothness. Also, i would have liked to experiment more with the titles and do one in after effects because i really liked how Kayla did their title and it added to the fun of this project. Not only that but it would give us more experience on using after effects and it would go nicely along, complimentary to the video.

Green screen Workshops

What a green screen is basically having a green background and video taping someone. Then once that is done the video is brought to premiere after effects and edited and can insert a background, any of your choice, to make it seem like you are at another place.
We need to make sure that there are no wrinkles and shadows on the green screen because that will create a problem when the video is being edited.
Shadows may get in the way of editing and may make the objects blurry and unclear.
I think it was easier using After Effects because it had some cool features. However, i am still relatively new to this new program but i hope to learn more about it as the next semester comes rolling around. Nonetheless, it was a really good experience using and doing this workshop because i got new experiences and learned something new.
