My 1 in 2,000 Interview

            This project was a chance for me to practice interview set ups and audio editing. The process I followed was first, getting my partner. Then, I we shared topics about ourselves that could be turned into an interview subject. Once I had a topic about my partner, I had to write up a 21-question long script that I would use to interview her with. After typing up my script, it was time to record. Finding a spot to interview was difficult, mostly because there were very few quiet and aesthetically pleasing places to set up at. After filming the interview and doing my voiceover, I edited the clips in Premiere, using sound effects to give my interview a sense of realism and immersion despite being just an audio recording.

My audio/clip editing.

Working with my partner was a positive experience. We were able to finish up the project quickly and well. My responsibilities for this project were mainly to be prepared with a script and questions, and to be able to finish editing my interview on time to present to the class. I learned a lot from this project. I learned how to set up the tripod in an interview setting, how to do a voiceover that blended well with my subject, how to edit audio in premiere, and how to insert sound effects.

Next time, I would try to film my interview in a quieter space to get rid of any unwanted background noises. I would also revise my voiceover script, ending my video with a sign-off to make it not end so abruptly. My critiques and feedback were to film somewhere quieter, have a sign-off at the end of my video, and to have the transitions between my sound effects be smoother.

Why You Need Your ID

Onw Procedures Video               The aim of this project was to incorporate one of the ONW Procedures into a sort of "how-to" video, including the 6-shot system and the tools we had available with our new cameras. My partner and I decided to use the ID Procedure for our video. Our original idea was for a girl to be in the library wanting to check out a book, but was unable to because she did not have her ID on her. The video would then show the 'correct' way to follow the procedure, with the girl taking out her ID to check out her book.  We filmed in the library. It was a struggle trying to incorporate all six shots (over the shoulder, extreme wide, etc.), into our video, and in hindsight I wish we would have taken more shots than what we ended up with. As we started to edit, it soon became clear to my partner and I that our thirty-second time limit was too short to create our original idea. Instead, I had to settle for only showing a girl checking out

❁ PhotoShop Name Animation Tutorial ❁

Image
This tutorial is going to show you how to make a photoshop name animation, like the one below.  This animation will help us learn to make frame-by-frame animations in photoshop. Step 1. First, you need to make a new photoshop file. Make it 600w x 300h or something similar.  You will make a text layer of your name in a large font. The font should also look like handwriting - it will make the animation look better. After making the font layer, 'duplicate' it in a new layer and make the original text layer not shown.  You will end up with a file that looks like this. Step 2. Now, duplicate the copy of the original text layer (you will need to make a lot of copies in this project). Once you've made the copy, erase a little bit of the last letter off. Like this. Continue to make copies and delete a little bit off of each letter until your file is blank. Remember to make the previous layer not visible each time you make a n

❁ Bouncing Ball Animation ❁

This is my first animation in PhotoShop. It's of a bouncing ball. With this animation I mostly learned how to use squash and stretch to make an animation look more realistic. The most difficult part for me was getting used to the different tools in photoshop.
