The Project
For this project, we were put into teams and tasked with creating a video showing how a person could get from point A to point B in a creative way. First, we made an outline of what we wanted to include in our video. Next, we went out and filmed the shots that we needed. Finally, we edited the shots into the final video. I am very proud of one of the shots that we took. We took the camera up to the second level of the school and filmed over the railing. Then we made it black and white and added text so that people would know that it was meant to be a shot from a security camera. I think it turned out pretty well.
The Editing
The editing for this project was pretty simple. We filmed most of our shots in the correct order, so there wasn't much rearranging to do. We wanted this to have a mission impossible theme, so I chose some music that I thought would be found in a spy movie. To extend the last shot, I took a screenshot of a frame in the video, then extended the time length of the picture. The most challenging part of the editing in this project was modifying the music. I wanted to extend the last note of the song, so I cut the note from the song and slowed it down while keeping the pitch unchanged.
Team Aspect
I think that we worked relatively well as a team. There was some bickering, but we eventually resolved all of the disagreements that we had. I'm not used to working in teams and especially not in teams of people that I am not familiar with, so I think that this was a good experience. In my next team project, I am hoping there will be less disagreements.
