Blog Post 3: Still Image Draft

Fresh Thoughts: Still Image Video Draft

For my still image video, my topic is how to make popcorn. I started by taking pictures of the essentials for making a bag of popcorn: a microwave, a bowl, and the popcorn itself. I made sure to get as many horizontal shots as I could, as they would be easier to resize in Premiere. However, I noticed that I had one vertical shot, which was difficult to resize. After resizing my images, I recorded a voiceover and edited it in Audition. In my edits, I added sound effects of popcorn popping and the beeping of a microwave. I exported my mixdown to an mp3 and added it to my Premiere sequence. Then, I added cross dissolves to make my images transition smoothly, as well as changing the length of time my images would be shown. Finally, I exported my video and uploaded it to YouTube. I am becoming more comfortable with editing audio in Audition, and utilizing the fade in/out on sound effects. I am extremely comfortable with editing videos in Premiere, so that part of this process wasn't bad, except for my vertical shot.

Advanced Premiere

Fresh Thoughts: Advanced Premiere For this blog, we were tasked with speeding up/slowing down certain parts of a video, as well as using keying and overlaying pngs to add animations with the use of keyframes. The video I chose to use was the bottle flip that we filmed in class.  The first thing I did was unlink the video and audio. I did this so I could eliminate specific parts of the audio, while keeping the full video. Next, I used the razor tool to isolate specific clips of peoples faces. With the use of the scale/position effects in the effect controls, I zoomed-in at specific points. For one zoom, I added a sleepy face emoji and faded it in with the opacity option, and added a "Bruh" sound effect and title. I used an opacity to quickly bring in the title. For the actual bottle flip, I started by slowing the clip down to 25% by using the speed/duration option. I decided to zoom in on the bottle and add an explosion on the bottle after it landed with the use of the co

Blog Post #2: That's What She Said

Fresh Thoughts: That's What She Said For this assignment, I took 2 clips from "The Office", and combined them with the use of the razor tool. The first clip, which is much of my video, is of Jim dressing as Dwight and asking Dwight a series of odd questions relating to bears. The second clip is a compilation of Michael's catchphrase, "That's what she said". In my edited version, I used the razor tool to take out parts of Jim and Dwight's argument, and replaced them with Michael saying "That's what she said". The most challenging part, surprisingly, was finding a way to put all my clips into this blog post. Since my edited version was deemed "too big" by Blogger, I copied the links of all 3 of my clips that are in Google Drive and pasted them here.  If I wanted to, I could post my edited video to YouTube and not be cited for copyright violation, as it is a parody.
