Our Holiday Greetings!

Reflection on Holiday Greeting Video

I believe we did alright compared to others although it would have been nice to be more smooth and natural when I was saying my script. Compared to others when it came up to music,titles, and credits I know Vanessa and I met criteria. I would have liked to include more imagery in our video instead of just one which was the one of us in our backround. When groups added more photos and such to their video I feel as if it really brought it to life really capturing a moment in time. I specifically worked with credits and music. I really liked the song we used it had a very nature feel to it. My partner worked on making our two films become one she did a pretty good job on that. Vanessa was a lot of help when it came up to it she always was on it which really made not stress as much. Vanessa and I both worked on the video and the script just as equally we bothe made sure especially during the script that it should be half and half to add our personalities within the script. Despite having our whole video completed in time and all if I had another chance I would have done a better jobs on acting out when saying my lines I let me nearvousness really get to me which didn"t make the video as good and wholseome.

Workshop

Green Screen Reflection

The way a green screen work is by having a colored backround such as green. The backround is used to place to have one be acting out and have an actual scenery of you're choice. Once you have the green screen behind an object you you of course flim as if you were to be normaly filmming then latter using a program called After Effects which elimates shadows,backround,and lighting turning into to a silhouette. After that is done you add the backround of your choice. Then you edit your video using Premire Pro.

One Important thing to consider when working with green screen is to make sure there are no shadows,wrinkles,off color objects.

What might make it a tad bit difficult when creating a green screen would have to be dealing with shadows and lighting. You really want to make sure you made everything equal when using keylight because if you don't it makes things not look so realistic and vivid when using your backround.

I believe using affter effect is wayyy easier than premire pro. The reason for that would be I feel as is affter effects is more straight to it which allows it to be a lot smoother for me.

Bree's Teledramatic Art Reflections: Five Things I Learned From Other Videos

I learned A LOT from other classmates videos. I really liked how many in our class really did a fantasic job on their videos. I learned that including interviews really makes a difference in ones video.

Titles and statements really leave a huge impact amog ones video. I really like how this group was very serious when it came up to it really brought chills amog my classmates the music was also fab really captured the moment.




I also learned that videos could be incredibly advanced... To be honest I never thought it could be coming from one of our fellow classmates.
They made everything go good together.




I like how Bres video added comic relief yet really brimg the message to the table at the samtime.

Cyberbullying Today (Final)

Here is my groups video. I am so stoked how is it is finally completed! I am most satisfied with the music selection it makes our video more viewable also the way everything clashes together.
There were many comments that really made it for my group and I helpful the one that stood out the most was that we need to include more faces such as the speaker such as more action.
We made MANY changes and just to mention these changes were simple . It's amazing how the little things can make such a big difference to a video. We included music,more faces, titles, and an interview with Mr Valle this all really semi nailed it. If I had another day to or two to edit our video it be to shoot our fliming diffrently such as more flowy. I feel some of our clips were cutt off to soon.
So yes, if I had the chance to edit the whole entire thing I would.
I had never realized how communication is the key to many task such as this. Making a little video is harder than I thought there is many ways to do things.
Overall I belive we did wayyyy better on our edit than before. I hope you enjoy:)

~Cyberbullying Reflection~

On my groups rough draft for cyberbullying I believe we could have definatly done a better job with the whole video. I agree with many comments made towards our video such as having more realistic visuals such as as interviews with staff members of San Benito High School. I feel as if time was rushing way to fast with all the workshops. The video itself is not what I had in mind when writting the script. The day of filming sadly I wasn't there to help out my group. When I recieved the footage of the video I found it to be a bit to scattered as did my group... One of my fellow group members Jessica had also noticed the same thing when editing the whole thing. We both had run out of many options and decided to even the excessive talking of cyberbullying follwed along the camera being focused on Jessica and Elissa. So at that moment we had decided to use photos although when prentation time had came I knew our film was missing loads of qualitly. One thing I feel we had done well is with credits and the whole script itself such as facts and sugestions we really seemed to bring it to the table. What I feel my group and I should do for the final project is include interviews and music .

Cyberbullying Draft

Titles

This is an example of an template title which means,these titles already came with the programming system called premire pro. When using premire pro to create titles or any program a few tips to including when your using a software program to create titles never use the same colour as your colour font for example if your putting lettering on the sky you wouldn't use sky blue. This is a mistake I had made at first well not exactly with this example of course. You would use template titles when you want an opening scence,interviews to introduce the speaker,or even actors inner thoughts.

Lifting And Extracting

A simple cut in the timeline means you are making a cut in the timeline itself. When you cut, the other clips in the timeline will leave a gap between the two clips.

A ripple edit is when you have removed a clip without leaving a gap within your clips. You do this by right clicking the selected clip of your choice. When you ripple delete, the other clips to the right of the deleted clip you will connect to the clips (left).

Lifting and extracting are two ways to cut a clip at one time. To do this, you choose the in point and out point of the second screen of the program and select either the lift or extract function.

Lifting is like cutting, while extracting is like a ripple delete, in terms of what happens to the clips in the timeline such as the others you had chosen.

This is an example of an extracting edit. I decided to extract the two clips where I did because the removal of the clips left the other remaining clips with a more quick paste flowy feel which everthings appears more rapid than before.

~overlay~
This is an example of an overlay edit. An overlay edit places a clip of your original clip. In order to do this you have to drag the clip you want (to use an overlay) this will go on top of your original clip that you used. I decided to overlay the clip of the lady because I felt that this would be the best moment to overlay since the viewer can see as if you were to be looking off and coming back to this point.


~Insert~
At the end of the 2nd f4v:
The difference between an overlay and an insert edit places a clip in between the 2 clip s on your orginal clip. In order to do an insert you must hold down the CTRL key botton and drag the clip (on top) wherever you'd like. You would use an overlay you would want a more realistic feel when while you’d use an insert edit when more of a filmsy type of some sort.

Baler Interview: Want To Be A Baler?

Baler Interview:Want To Be A Baler Reflection

I really enjoyed the whole outcome concept to the baler interview. My partner and I feel that we have progressed throughout the pervious classes. I'm happy with the way our finished product came out to be overall. Choosing a selection within all the Teledramatic classes I found to be very interesting due to the fact of the diffrent responses we received from each indivdual class. I feel that we did really good job on making sure each interview went along with each other not to mention the variety of diffrent responses each student had said. We both really were aimming toward the same thing for this project we wanted to not only combine every interview just because it was "Good" not only were the responses were good,but each student had something interesting and diffrent to say and that is something my partner and I really wanted. If there is something I wish we could have done diffrently for this would be to follow directions more clearly. The problem with not following directions clearly was that we failed to add our names to the credits which was a total bummer for us because by the time we read the directions for the ending we both had uploaded the video on to our blogs and all.

I can't stress enough of how amazing my partner is. And as a team we both can work really well to create videos for this class. We both helped each other out in some shape or form. I haved learned how to get specific informaton thanks to her. I don't feel as if we over came any challeges throughout this project other the credits,but we overcame it with just procceding untill the end results for this assignment. Without a doubt we will work on making sure everthing is inclued for the next video.

Reflection:Wet Cement

Wet Cement

VALUES: In the clip Wet Cement the older man wasn't mad at the little boy despite him walking on the wet cement.

The older man had the patience to go over the cement where the little boy had stepted and ruined.

The little boy was obviously is young and didn't know any better.

This man older man in this clip had a startled kind of face when he had noticed what mess has been created after his hard work.

MESSAGE: What I believe to find the message to the short film
" Wet Cement " is that no matter what the situation is you must have patience with whomever
especially considering the fact that this was a little boy who didn't know any better. In today's
society we're easily upset and angry in a situation such as this because you put all your hard work and effort into a task and for someone to come along and ruin what I've created would be awfully devasting although the man wasn't so resentful and this is a trait one can admire.

ACTIONS: The actions in this short clip varied from probably upset to forgiving. The man was upset,but he didn't let the fact that his hard work was ruined get in the way of forgiving. It's the triumph of a heart that makes all and forgives all,and this was clearly shown.

TECHNICS: The technics in this clip were greatly used and performed the whole outcome to
the plot suited the theme and also the message the production and directors of Values were aimming
for. I thought it was great of them to have an older man as the protagonist and the little boy as the antagonist. Also how the directors of Values used your typical little boy next door. I believe the camera did well with capturing both characters reactions.

My Introduction

This is student Jessica Hernandez's introduction to the class.


"Premire Pro trouble with Jayy"

While my wonderful partner Joceyln MacAbee and I worked together on our first Teledramtic Art assignment using Premire Pro. We faced serval challenges that I feel without my partner Jayy (also known as Joceylnn)I would have never been able to accomplish as smoothly. The biggest promblem we had was uploading the clip of fellow student Jessica Hernandez on to my blooger account. For some reason it didn't appear with the video instead it appeared with the HTML code. I was horrifed that we would have to start all over again! Shortly after worrying horribly we decided to ask for help from the one and only Dr. Achterman. He had told us why it wasn't uploading properly on my account the reason why of course was because Jayy and I had "Compose" the video on to my blogg rather then hitting "Edit HTML". After sloving that Jayy and I felt this warming sensation of relief and success.
