The story we were trying to evoke in this video was a Memorial, for the Veterans. We wanted people to recognize what out troops have done for us and how we should appreciate them. The beginning starts off with a waterfall meaning life and goes to people bowing there head, such as giving thanks to someone or praying they live in peace, and then in goes on to show pictures of back then in world war 2 and also including Pearl Harbor. The destruction and horrifying events they have gone through. Our story also shows that after world war 2 and Pearl harbor how everyone was happy and grateful for our troops and even till this day even thought we havent have a world war 3 luckily, we should still be grateful although it was a while back.

From 20 seconds to 38 seconds i am most proud because it shows what our story is all about and we were able to put it all in a short period of time. It shows pictures form back then of what happened and veterans faces. The images helped suggest the mood for this sequence becasue the music is still kind of low and sad includng the pictures of destruction, helped created the mood of what they have gone through and feeling grateful for people who are willing to give up there lives for us.

Our consideration of shapes and colors helped suggest the mood for this sequence because we made it in the sense of rememberance,gratefulnes, and although we weren't ale to use any abstract images i think out video came out great the way it is.

I learned that the interaction of music and images give a great portrayal of what you are trying to evoke, whether its sad happy, or whatever emotion your trying to let audience know. The music made a feel to the project were trying to portray. In films music is a very important detail; becuase it give the audience a feel, and i have learned that music and images have to connect together inorder to make te film look right.

The most important contribution i made this class was working with my group and trying to the best i can do, inorder for our group to work together and agree on certain things. I tried my best to make the best videos possible i can makethem look good, im grateful for learning all the techinques i have learned from Dr.A and now later on in life if i ever want to make a film i know exactly how to and how to edit a film in order for it to look good.

Final Reflection

Early in the year, i learned the importance of film editing and film making. You can see that in my first film, it was not so well put together because it was the first one i have done, including putting a film together and editing a film.Throught my projects i learned alot of things and what techniques to use for what projects. Such as in my special effects projects i learned how to use types of effects to make the image on my film look cool and add excitement too. In my jabberwocky project we read a poem and individually created a feel and experience in the poem, as each person got a stanza they created the feeling with pictures we put together, to make it look real. And i learned that once you create a film you have to insert or reflect some kind of feeling inorder for the audience to get a feel. For our project the Water is Wide our task was to listen to some music and imagine what is going on, what is behind the music? Me and my partner created a scene behind it which represented world war 2, not only did the project make me learn more how to be creative and imagine, but i realized i have more of a passion for filming then i did before.

After doing many projects in this class and Dr.A teaching so many useful techniques about filming, i believe i learned to create a new sense in the Film Industry. Idont know much, but i know now that it takes creativity and imagination. Ileanred you must create a feeling to your project, make it something people will remember and talk about. Making films is now much easier for me, now that i have got to play around with premiere pro and teach myself some things, all you have to do it look around and see if things fit they way you want it.
Taking this class was really an honor, i appreciated all the help Dr.A gave us, and for letting us loo at film in a whole new direction, how its inspiring, fun, and simply a great way to get your message out.

This class was really fun, there is alot of great people in here who i give all credit to for making there films. Some of this films i was inspired  by and wanted to get to there level. But most of all thank you Dr.A for teaching us so many things we didn't know before! I hope you have a great summer!

We had a lot of trouble with this project because we didn't know what to do but i think in the end it came out great. We put together little clips of people saying bye and it came out a success! :)

Special Effects

Me and Blanca both found the effect by the directions that were posted on the blog, The effects were in the folder of Distort, Stylize, and Generate and each of them had different effects according to each title. To change the setting to get the effect we had to adjust the scroll bar till we got the right effect making the setting look different. We might use this in a film when we are creating something that needs special effects due to whatever purpose.

Effects Video

STAR PROMOTION VIDEO

I have the video its just in Dr.a's computer folder.



You should vote for mine as the best because it flows with the editing, i put in titles, and its short and sweet! :) I think Zach put a good touch into the video because he made the mood more up-beat.
