5 Things I Learned About The Cyberbullying Videos Part 2

Right off the bat I liked the beginning in which Jose and Taylor are both on screen shouting that cyberbullying must end now. I felt that it was a powerful start for the video and caught the attention of the audience and wished that my group could have done that too. I also like the fact that at 0:24-0:43 that they used three guys to explain what cyberbullying is and why it is bad. I wished I could have used this technique because it helped illustrate the fact that some people don't know what cyberbullying is and helped move the plot of the video.

Holiday Video

First of all I really enjoyed making the holiday video. Second it was not an easy task to do. With my partner I had to help him alot, for example, in the green screen adjustments I had to fill him in about using the correct function to eliminate the green screen. My partner helped me by helping me edit the video especially with the music. Without him in the editing process I don't think we would have finished this video.

I specifically worked on overall editing. It wasn't easy because of the timings we had in our video. I think it was pretty cool the way we edited the video because it gave it an original feel. The music was handled by Juanmanuel because he is an expert at editing music. Without his musical expertise I could not have accomplished in finishing this video.

Had we given another chance to complete this project I think we could have done a better job on our video. I could have adjusted the audio in the video better, properly cite the material we used in our video, and really just had fun making our video. It was just very dificult due to the short time frame we had to work on this project.

5 Things I Learned About The Cyberbullying Videos Part 1

Between 0:00-0:10 I really liked how this group used cell phones to introduce the topic of cyberbullying. It was very clever and I wished I could have incorporated that into my video. I also liked that in 0:35-0:41 that while Mr.Vela is talking they show a scene where he takes a troublemaker into the office to show the effects of cyberbullying and what could happen. I felt that truely emphasized a point because that can actually happen. I really liked the video time 1:06-1:22 because they show three easy steps to prevent cyberbullying while someone appears to be walking away from cyberbullying. I felt that this showed the proper closure of this video and again wished to do that with our video.

Green Screen Reflection

A green screen is a type of screen that is green. The purpose of a greeen screen is to show a special effect on a certain scene on a video. Certain things you should consider with a green screen is that the screen should not be wrinkled or waving back and forth. The subject should be filmed within the boundaries of the green screen and should NOT BE WEARING GREEN. Trying to edit out the green screen on After Effects is very tricky beacuse you need the subject to be exactly or approximately isolated from the green screen. I belive that neither Premier Pro or After Effects are easier than the other because both need special skills to master

The actual changes we made for our video is that we edited all our interviews so they would not drag on. That really shortened the video a lot actually but was probably for the better. If we had another day or two we could have done probably a better job on it than we did on the rough draft. We could have put better music and some graphics to emphasize our points a bit more.

What I discovered while working on this video was on how to add and edit sounds, how to lift and extract a clip, how to change the lighting on a specific clip (completely accidental), and how to speed up a clip or slow it down.

What I think about this project was that it took a longer time than I expected. The video itself has turned from an variety of moods into one serious mood. I personally liked our rough draft better but technically this video is a lot better than the rough draft.

First of all I would like to thank everyone in the class for their criticism and we would use your suggestions. We will fix the audio problems and fix some of our scenes and their transitions.

What I thought about our video was generally that we did a good job. The process was shaky at first with Dr. A pressuring us but it was smooth ride from there. Getting the clips for our video was a bit time consuming but we got the job done. We had a rough time picking out the songs to fit the video flow but we did our best. This video did seem a bit rough but it was rushed and we had a little bit more time we could have done a better job.

If we were to do this again we would get our footage and interviews right away and edit them accordingly. Then we would have gotten our audio while we edit our video instead of after the editing. We would then preview the video and add titles. After titles we would spell check for spelling errors and improper grammar. We would finally get the approval of Dr. A if we created the video the proper way.
