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.     
                               
What I Learned 
One of the most valuable tools that I learned how to use is motion in effects controls. To use motion, you drag the play head over the image and click. Next, click on the motion arrow and you will see position and scale. Premier gives you the ability to play around with the scale and position numbers. After settling on position numbers, we need to use the diamond button. The diamond is the key frame in animation that keeps the scale at one value on the timeline. Once you are satisfied with these few steps, the key frames must be dragged to the end of the clips.

Jeep Wave: Myth or Fact?

Jeep Wave: Myth or Fact? Introduction Often, I have been a witness to what is known as the “jeep wave”, or a quick movement of the hand made by both Jeep drivers when passing by one another. With the hopes to find out just really what this Jeep Wave consists of, I went around and talked to a few of the student Jeep drivers at High Point University.  Creating the Podcast By only being able to create a quick 30 second recap of the interviews and introduction that I recorded, I had to be picky and creative when choosing what content to piece together. The tool I relied on most when creating my podcast was the razor tool. The razor tool allowed me to cut out segments that I did not want to include. One aspect I struggled with while creating my piece on Adobe Audition was trying to make sure my audio was kept at similar volume. Some parts of interviews I could not use because the volume level was in the red zone above -12DB and did not sound right when pieced together with eve...

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.

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...
