Postcards

This postcard has images from my trip to New York. I used two repeated objects a big images and an image with a frame. I also added a gradient to my "New York".
I wanted my post cards to reflect who I am by having little things that made them unique like the pigeons and how one is flying. I also wanted my cards to be simple but have a lot of meaning. In New York dreams are made and that is what I wanted my cards to show.









This postcard was made using a clipping mask. I used pictures from my camping trip with my friends. I edited the photos and edited the words using the effects panel.

I made the postcard for fun. I wanted the background to have simplicity yet have some flare!

Chasing Thoughts

The thought behind the video

For this project we wanted to make the theme of it mysterious and suspenseful. The idea was for something to be haunting the character but in the end it was all in her head and she just needed to realize after losing her thoughts. We wanted people to realize that you shouldn't care what others think and you are your only source of stress.

Building Lego Blood??

Similarity Between Projects

    Both of these videos were filmed live with little preparation. I found this to be more difficult because after filming when you are editing you can't go back and reshoot shots. Both of these videos had some difficulties. When shooting the Blood Drive footage we didn't have audio. With the Lego Video I was not able to participate in the shooting of it so it was difficult finding sound bites to use because I didn't know what was being said or where to start. 

Things I Learned

     I learned that you always need to keyword and organize the clips so you know which ones are good to put in the timeline. I also learned that when video taping a live event make the camera as steady as possible and to always make sure you have sound through the earphones. When editing try not to use shots where the camera is moving and use a lot of close up shots. These things can help enhance the video.

Overall

    Between the two projects I think I did a pretty good job but some things I could adjust would be adding nat noise to the Blood Drive video and adjusting the voice over in the lego video so it is not as noticeable. These projects enhanced my learning so in future projects I can add voice overs and how to film live events.
