Reflecting on my Blog...

Early in the year, i learned the importance of beeing familiar when you are in front of the camera and not looking all over the place.You can see that in my first film, i was not familiar in this way because i was really nervous and i was looking to other places that were not the camera. On my second project i learned that edit clips together to make a video. I think i did a good job in edditing, it was easy for me.Te video that shows this is called "baler pride" where i helped in editing alot of the video. I also learned alot with the numerous amounts of workshops. For example i learned how to do overlay inserts, deleating and extracting, and the one i really liked was the titles workshop and how to put many kinds. one example would be the tittles workshop where i learned how to make a templet title. Where i really lerned alot was in the firs major project of cyberbulling where i leaned how to work a camera and how to film and interview people. Ihad alot of fun doing this project with my group.Every one helped in their own way and the overall project shows this,i really like the title of this project "Dont do it". I also learned that for a project to come out good you need to make a draft and to ask for suggestions to make the video much better. On the vido "over the shoulder" i learned the importance of over the shoulder filming and how it kind of shows a viewpoint of 2 persons. On the second project i leaned way more of how to film a video since i was the camera person. This video gave me alot of practice with the camera and the shots like over the shoulder and close ups and the establishing shot at the beseball fields. This video also shows how my group and i worked with the transitions and the editing.Later in the year in the emberessing moments video it shows that i was more familiar in the camera and i wasnt looking all over the place like in my first clip. I also learned how to edit and do special effects in the video of the water is wide. 5.I learned that in making video you need to work with alot of people and i learned how to cooperate with others.I learned that looking at other peoples videos an d giving suggestions helps everyone in making a better job. I learned that the rule of thirds is very important in alot of videos. 6.My favorite video to make vas the water is wide because we put alot of special effects and the music was awesome!

Final Video (embarrasing moments)

Reflection For this video we used the special effect alpha glow.I liked this one the best because it worked at the bigginig and at first it glowed but when it keeps going it glows more. When we were doing the video we were going for a dark vibe thats why most of our pictures were dark and we showed it by puting a dragon and the cobwebs. We wanted to make it misterious with the different kind of pictures.I really liked how the video came out.
