Still Image Video Final

Still Image Video Final Well, Well, Well... As the semester comes to an end, so does my journey investigating whether the jeep wave is truly a myth or not. Since August, I have been practicing and understanding several different Adobe software’s. In the beginning of the semester, I was a bit uncomfortable managing the software and allowing my creative energy to flow into my projects. Since then, I have become way more comfortable and confident in my abilities with Adobe. The LAST Video EVER In my final creation for the class, I was able to include in my work, animations, animated titles, B-roll, and my own personal photos. In my Forum #5 Blog, I struggled with making animated titles and figuring out how to get the timing on the sequences, just right. After watching a few video tutorials offered from Adobe’s website, I finally understood how to fix the timing issues that were occurring. Another element that I found beneficial was including the B-roll I filmed. I chose to...

Forum 5: Visual Communication

Forum 5: Visual Communication Successes: One big difference from my Forum #4 post to Forum #5, was getting rid of the black on the outside of photos. A lot of the pictures that I had chosen were stretched really long so that they could not fit in the screen correctly. At first, I thought that it seemed fine, but after watching the finished product and receiving feedback from my classmates, I figured it was time to say goodbye to the black borders. To fix this, I changed some of my pictures completely and with others I simply fit them to the screen or zoomed in on them. Struggles: For this assignment, we were asked to include some type of animation to enhance our project. I practiced 3 different animations and I think that I did an OK job with them. For next time, I would like to be able to include more animations, but this was a good start! The animation that I struggled with the most was understanding how to have a question slide into the frame. I was able to color ...

Forum #4: The Animatic

Forum #4: The Animatic  Introduction This was my first time using the Adobe Premiere software to create a video project. Though, I was hesitant and nervous at first, watching the class videos that were posted instilled me with confidence and presented me with the right information to begin the project and make some progress. I began by importing the finalized version of my audio story and adding in the still images I collected. Once I had all of my pictures into the project, I needed to figure out how to resize them to fit within the frame and add some type of effect or motion. Struggles One frustrating point was dealing with sequence settings. I learned that each image needed to share the same sequence setting and once I changed it, my images reset and I had to resize them all again. If you are using Premier for your work, I suggest making sure your sequence settings are set first to HDV 1080p or the necessary editing mode that you need.       ...

Audio Story Final: Jeep Wave

Jeep Wave: Myth or Fact? For weeks now, I have been trying to uncover the truth behind whether the Jeep wave is a myth or a fact. Throughout my endeavors, I have spoken with several students at High Point University and even gained an experts opinion on the matter from Ilderton Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram. I was set on the fact that once I had received an expert’s opinion, that I would have a definite answer. As my investigation comes to an end, I am realizing that I am just as puzzled as before.

Forum #3: Audio Story Components

Audio Story Components My Podcast: I have decided that for my audio story, I want to continue pursuing information about whether the Jeep wave is real or a myth. I want to continue tracking down the answer to my unique question because the world itself and Jeep owners deserve to know, is the Jeep wave real or not.                Experts:    To better understand more about the Jeep wave, I will need to interview experts on the topic. An individual that I would consider an expert on the matter, is someone who works for Jeep. There is a local Jeep dealership in High Point and in Greensboro where I could go and speak with employees, managers, or salesmen. Another expert that I am looking to interview would be members that belong to a Jeep enthusiast club. Who knows better than the individuals that actually drive the cars themselves? Jeep owners and enthusiasts will be passionate in giving their answers, thus ma...
