Holidays around the world

]
Reflection- My partner and I, personally, was a great team. We had pretty much the same ideas and we worked well together. When coming up with the idea of multiple backgrounds it was in agreement. I think we did a great job of eliminating the green screen and making a clean edit. I also think compared to some videos that had music; ours was edited in a fashion so you could hear us rather than being drowned out by the selected music. One thing that I saw quit a bit was the split screen edit. I really liked that and I think that if Ashley and I was more a wear of that type of edit we could have incorporated it into our script and made the video more fun.  I specifically helped with the citing of the video and making the cuts to the video and placing them in order. We helped each other a lot I helped Ashley with the final edits and credit and Ashley helped with the green screen in adobe after effects and finding her own backgrounds and placing it all together with the green screen. If I could redo the project I would memorize my script and practice more so I wouldn’t have to look up as much and hopefully look more comfortable in front of the camera.   

5 Things I learned Form Other Videos


I learned many things by watching fellow student’s videos. By watching Ivy’s groups video I learned the importance  of a group shot like the one taken of Allie and the two other girls as well as the one of kenzie and zoey and another girl. I learned from that how to fit everyone in and how to allow them to speak loud enough to hear them on the video. Another thing I learned from her video was the very short cuts of the video that transitioned into slides this allowed for the viewer to stay interested and understand the material.
 The second video that I liked was Michelle’s and Dillon’s. The way they talked back and forth was very affective. Another thing that was good about the video was the lower third titles they were put in the perfect place and looked very nice. The ending and the music was very good and added to the video’s effectiveness.
 The final video that I enjoyed was Ashley T’s the ending where it was a four split scene was amazing and how they all said the ending at the same time was very cool and I would like to learn how to do that .

Greenscreen Work Shop

The greenscreen is a sold color that many people dont wear you can use any color as long as the person in the shot isnt wearing that color. An important consideration for filming on the greenscreen is to not make any shadows if you have them it's very hard to get the shadow out and your edit wont be very good. A problem when trying to eliminate a green screen can be the edges of the person you are cutting out it's hard in Adobe premeire pro to get the edges perfect that is why you should use adobe after effects. It was harder to use adobe after effects but it looked better then adobe premiere pro's edit i would recomend adobe after effects.

Refelection on my cyberbullying video

This cyber bullying video was a big challenge for our group but I believe we overcame that challenge and made a successful video. Personally the part I’m very proud of in our video is the very beginning. We played around with many different kinds of openings and finally came to this one and I loved it. We completed our video late and so we were unable to get many comments back on out video but we did get a few editing hints like the one on schellhorns clip it was cut to shot. We didn’t make any changes on our final because we only had time to do a rough draft. If I we had more time I would have fine tuned it all made the clip cuts cleaner the music smoother those are the only things that come to mind right now. I realized how much work it takes with making a video the filming and getting the right angle and shot and then finding the perfect music and finally trying to put it all together to make a decent video. The project was a big challenge like I mentioned but it was a great learning experience and I feel that I have learned a lot about not only filming by editing.
