Final Blog

   I had a good experience with this class due to it been given excellent projects that taught us more about Premiere, After Effects, and Film Production.  Along with developing better compositions and designs within each project.  I learned more about Film Production than I imagined.  Even though I work in Art Network, within being more involved in this class I discovered that I love film production even more.   I gained more knowledge on different camera angles.  Especially the one-camera shot. The class grew closer after we filmed both Promos on the beach and in the Health Center.   I think this also has to do with it being a smaller class.  I enjoyed meeting the clients from the BloodBank, meeting The Futurist, along with being introduced to Guy and Elaine from Spectrum Productions. 

   I would have to admit that in the beginning I struggled with having a blogspot account and because of that it was difficult to keep up to date on the progress so far.  However, Judy came to the rescue and helped me.  Then I got caught up.  At first I did not how to exactly write or post things well.  When I started looking at hers.  I realized that I should upload images or examples better.  So I started doing that and got better within time.  

  My one favorite project was the Personal Promo because it made me think more of where I stand and how far I have grown since I joined Art Network in freshmen year.  Then when it came to putting together different work to collaborate it.  I realized the amount of progress I have made.  I also learned more about editing and making smooth transitions within different cuts.  

  I also enjoyed having Ms. Lisa Moody and our instructor and having the other students as classmates.  I hope we can all be in a same class again!

  Today is the last day of the semester!  I am still in shock on how fast time flew.  I would say I did have a good experience with this class.  We were assigned excellent projects that taught us more about Premiere and Film Production.  I learned more about Film Production than I thought I would.  I have to admit I think our class grew closer than I imagined as well.  I think after we filmed each others Promos on the beach and in the Health Center.  I think the class grew more comfortable with one another and we enjoyed each other's company more.  I also believe this has to do with it already being a small class.  It is easier to communicate.
  This is my final piece of my Personal Promo.  Since the last cut I edited the auto color, editing more of the green screen effects with the Green Screen Chrome.  I also place music throughout the piece.  I put my Art Network logo I created in my animated TV screen along with adding footage from my experience in being apart of Art Network.  At the end I added the same logo I created rotating on screen with my ending voice.  I stated, "This is why you should join Art Network!  Thank you!"

  Today our Rough Cut is due.  This is my piece so far.  I have my video edited with a background with the TV animating on screen.  I am now looking for music to tie the footage together and ending.  Today, Spectrum Productions came and visited from Tampa.  I really enjoyed their visit and watching their work they produce.  They gave me their business cards and I will try to visit them over break which I will be looking forward to!

  We did not have class today due to being on Thanksgiving Break.  For next class we had to have our first rough cut done for the Final Personal Promo.  Right now I am working on cutting between the wide shots and the close-up shots.  When I have that step completed I will work on editing the background and including personal work I have created for Art Network.
