A/V Semester Reflection

     This semester in Video class we worked on the ways to create a video and how to make all our shots look "well". There were many project of which all had something similar, but still had their own unique thing. The very first one we did was the procedures video in which we had a partner, and the 2 of us had to create a video representing what not to do and what to do at ONW. The second project was an audio recording of our partner to show us how to write a story board after interviewing someone. Thirdly we made a video of one of our classmates and what their hobby is which showed us how to put all our other stuff together that we've learn. Lastly we worked on the blood drive video where we all used each others clips to create our own video.

     A key event in this entire process is probably the third project because thats where our skills were put to the test and showed how committed you are at getting your video done in time, and who ever made the best got onto ONW NOW(sadly not mine). My thoughts through this process was me asking myself how can I make this better what can I do? Eventually I got an idea for a cool background for the interview, but it didn't go very well because there weren't any chairs available so the set up wasn't that great. When I went to the gymnastics place it was a little uncomfortable, but it all turned out good I got a ton of shots and hey I don't really talk much and I didn't have to.

     The elements within all the projects that worked for me was the creativity of getting a variety of shots and having the knowledge know to make them flow smoothly with the audio. Something that I was unable to do is get a second interview which could of made it better, but when it all finished I found out it wasn't going to fit if I were of so it all worked out for the best.
     This semester I learned the steps in which a video should be made and what order the steps go into, I learned the way to position something correctly, and I also learned how to crop a shot to work within the three corners.

     Next semester I am hoping to learn how to create a real good music video. Since music is really my life I want the knowledge in how I can share it across the world and a music video in my opinion is the way to go. Can't wait tell entertainment.
