October 21,

  The Clients; Bridget and Cindy came in and we showed them our first rough cut.  I edited it to be fifteen seconds.  It has audio and I am in the process if putting in the graphics.  The critique I received from them was
-Have a more spooky into Christmas audio.
-Bring in a hashtag
-Message
-Logo, all in this order.
  Afterwards, Ed Cheetham came in and critiqued my piece and gave me advice on how to make a logo animation with their logo.  Him, Lisa, and I came to a conclusion to have it simple.  There would be the message in white letters, the letters would expand into a white background, and the logo will come on.
  This is my rough cut.  I am going to continue editing my new audio, work on the graphics, and the way the camera blurs at the end.

October 14th,

  Today Amy Nestor gave everyone their videos.  We started editing in class and will be figuring out audio and the graphics for the next pass.  The whole class period was dedicated to editing for the following class.

  Today Luisa Leschin and Max CiVon came to our class.  It was a pleasure speaking with them again.  We got to talk to them about their careers and get advice from them.  I made sure to ask them two questions.  One for Max and the other one for Luisa.
1.)  Max:  Have you ever been in a situation where you have had to walk out of a job where it didn't feel right?  If so, how did you handle it?
2.)  Luisa:  Would you say being an actor helped with becoming a writer?
  Their answers were very good.  Luisa also made  statement, "Sometime when your a bad actor, you can be a great writer.  Or when sometimes your a good actor, it can make you a bad writer.  However, it's always good to wear both shoes in order to understand both sides."  Max did mention how he has had a few jobs where he was not to happy but he stuck with them.  He knew he would leave them eventually.  But he always did his job well and made sure to leave on good terms.
  I also had the opportunity of meeting and working at their show the night before.  I loved talking and getting to know them before the show.  The Art Network crew got to sit and hear their story before the show.  During the show, I filmed it and saw the different movies they worked on.

 After they left we started video editing our promos we recently filmed.  In the next class, we will be video editing all class.  I am looking forward to seeing how they turn out!

August 19th,

  First Day of Class!  We are already being introduced to our first project where we need to have a continuous camera movement on an actor discussing what Art Network is.  I have been put into a group with Derek and Leona.  Now, we are gathering ideas for next class on how we want to make our videos.

  Today the Art Network class filmed mine & Judy's vampire scene along with Elizabeth's and Nate's.

 This was our final storyboard we came up with to guide us through our shoot.
 It was another busy, fun day.  We first came to my apartment for the vampire scene.  I had three actors; Emily Yan, Derek Gunnels. and Jamie Flores.  They portrayed a scene of opening gifts on Christmas morning and receiving blood.  All of them did a great job!
  For the second scene, we went to the health clinic and there were several actors.  There were nurses, doctors, a "tattoo guy" that donated blood.  This shoot went successful as well.
  Now for next week we have to research Luisa Leschin, our guest speaker that is coming into our class.  I am looking forward to learning about her and meeting her!

  Today there was a film shoot for Derek's and Leona's film along with Stephanie's and Ana's film.  They were both a lot of fun.
  For Derek's and Leona's the class had to go outside for a car scene and to sit outside of the tables. For the inside scene, I had to play as a "tired student" trying not to fall asleep in class.

   Then, for Stephanie's and Ana's film shoot.  Derek and I were actors on the beach.  We had to act "sassy!"  After that was over, some of us played in the warm ocean water.  Then we went to Kilwin's and got ice cream after!  Which was absolutely amazing and delicious!
