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 the text and put a white shadow behind it, but I wish I could have had the text come in faster. I struggled trying to line the time that the question came into the frame, with when it was asked on the audio. I watched several tutorial videos, but for some reason I had a difficult time trying to get the timing just perfect.

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...
