Strobe Lights

                   To do this effect is both easy and dangerous (by dangerous I mean you can get a seizure while making this effect, well effective). You just drag the video and add the desired strobe effect to the clip. then you drop the folder down and click stylize and you will see the effect strobe light. Isaiah added two more strobe light effects to increase the overall strobe light effect. Then you see a way to change the color and Isaiah left it white but for the second one he changed it to a bright red because I felt it needed more emphasis on the strobing. Then he randomly played with the effects of the way to edit it and we got lucky with the effects and then boom! This video clip was transformed into a super crazy strobe light machine.

Effect Bend

                    In order to do the bend effect, first you have to drag a video clip into the time line, then you open the folder video effects, and you go down to the folder distort. Then you add bend to the video clip in your video timeline. After you do that, go to the project panel and change it so that the video will easily change the way the video bends and moves in the clip. After you change the effects you can put in keyframes to change the way that the bend affects the video and how crazy it moves. It's an enjoyable effect and we had fun playing with it.

Why We Do Not Have a Star Promo Video

The reason why Isaiah, Ashley, and I do not have a star promo video is because we had to work on our director's cut video. As you, Professor Achterman, stated we had to make a director's cut before we can work on a star promo video. As we have not started a director's cut, we had to open premier pro. Then we had to select the proper video settings which was ntsc-dv 48kw. The project is now setup and we began import all the necessary clips for the video. Meanwhile the files were being imported we deliberated on how we are going to arrange the clips. We then started to pull the imported clips into the project timeline. We previewed said clips and decided to add titles to categorize them in order to clarify the purpose of the clips. We previewed the video once more and we figured that we needed some voice overs. Thanks to my voice acting experience we were able to get the proper tone of the phrases on the titles. We previewed the video and thought it was excellent. We now started to export the video. While it was exporting we had a brief discussion about who's channel we should upload the video to. In the end we decided to upload it to Isaiah's channel. The video is now exported and we can now begin the process of uploading the video. Isaiah signed in to his channel and selected the director's cut video. After that we celebrated and ask you, Professor Achterman, on what to do with the uploaded video. At first you thought we were doing a star promo video and then we clarified that it was the director's cut video. You were all "Oh. Then just post it on your blogs" and we were all "Okay!" This process took the majority of the class. And that is why we do not have a star promo video.

Suggestions and Good Ones

SUGGESTION
One edit we would change was when Cesar and Isaiah were talking at the lunch tables. We noticed that the camera was moving up and down on that scene. We think you should cut that part out.
-John and Joselyn
another thing you can do is actually try to show the message to your viewers i really didnt get what the value of this video was
Jose
We think that you might add a shot right after this extreme close up of another extreme close up of the first swing/slap/punch thrown
-Ivy
But our strongest suggestion is next time don’t make it look childish because this video looked like a little cartoon not a good value video
-Anonomyous
GOOD
I liked this one shot of Isaiah that got speeded up when he was running across the tables it caught my attention during the video
-Krystian and Zoie
We especially like the extreme close ups of Joe and Cesar during the final fight scene because it helped emphasize the idea that Cesar took Isaiah’s advice to heart and he is ready to fight
-Ivy
We think the most important clip for the music is in the beginning when the bully comes out of the bush
-Anonomyous
titles in between the clips of that moment going to another time were good titles
-Anonomyous
What we really liked about the video was how it was up beat and went with the flow , it wasn't choppy and i understood it.
-Michelle
The conflict was between an innocent kid and a bully.
-Eduardo E, Ashley P, and Sabrena
The first use of music is when the bully came in the scene. It was used to emphasize the idea that the bully was tough.
-Eduardo E, Ashley P, and Sabrena
The music was most important before the fight because it emphasized the mood, which was a little violent.
--Eduardo E, Ashley P, and Sabrena
The shots that contributed to the rising action were when Isaiah and Cesar were talking to each other about the fight in the beginning and the close ups of Isaiah N.'s face and Cesar's face when they are about to fight.
--Eduardo E, Ashley P, and Sabrena

This added some tension and pretty much showed what was going to happen in the next clip.
