Jabberwocky

The effect that i really liked the best and was the one that I most enjoyed doing was the Wave Warp. I thought that it worked well because it really distorted the image and kind of gave off a weird and shapeless vibe that therefore would be a good fit for the picture because the wave warp gives off a vibe of weirdness and exoticness. I was trying to portray a mood of eeriness and strangeness and nothing definite, on the contrary something that was abstract and without a concrete meaning. Overall, i wanted to show the flexibility of this poem and how there’s not one really meaning to the poem, but instead a whole bunch of possible meanings all jumbled in one, which is what makes this poem abstract.

Effects Video

Instructions: For the first effect we inserted the clip into the timeline. Then we went under Video Effects and then opened the Distort folder. Once opened, we grabbed the Wave Warp effect and dragged it onto the first clip. Once done with that, we double clicked the clip and the went to the Source Panel and clicked on effects. There we set key frames for the wave type at 1 seconds and then the next at 4 seconds. After we set Pinning and set 3 more key franes at 1, 2, and 3 secind key frames. Then we moved on to the next clip. For this one we went under Video Effects and opened the Styleze folder. Then we dragged the Strobe Light effect onto the second clip. After we went to the source panel and clicked on effects. Once done with that, we changed the strobe color to red. Also, we changed the Blend With to 47% and did a Random Strobe at 46%. We also set 3 keyframes under the Strobe option at 8, 9, and 10 seconds. Finally we went under Strobe Operation and set 2 keyframes under 8 and 9 seconds.

Honestly i think that this shows how well we worked together and each and everyone's strengths. Also we all had time to experiment new positions which we weren't too comfortable with at first to see which areas we were better at and thus be able to give out an amazing product to our video. for example, Estefania got the chance to take the camera as opposed to me because i am the one that usually does it. This way she got to learn how to manipulate it and got to try something new. Me on the other hand, i got a chance to try script writing and drawing, none of them being one of my great strengths but i tried either way. I think this showed how well we were able to work together and exemplified our communication because we were a;ways on task and got things done even after things weren't exactly on our favor. One other thing i really noticed was that even when we were absent or had something going on, we managed to pull through. One of the things that we left out was all the obstacles we faced for the production of this video. Also i think that this video does not show all the thought and time we took to really make this video the best it could be, obviously because of time constraints and the lack of always having a camera. However, on the other hand i think it highlights really well our working together.

I feel that this video has the quick message needed in order to captivate the attention span of underclassmen, but at the same time not boring enough to prolong their annoyance of these videos. Also, it has a funny component by freezing the frames and it draws their attention to the video and the message being portrayed. Finally, it provides a good message with not too much information but just enough to get the point across.
