AET Practice 2: Working With Fonts

Reflection: Rise Self Evaluation

Week 4 Reflection: Project Revision

As we come to the close of this wonderful class it is time to submit my Project Revision. I was very pleased with my original storyboard video. I decided the only thing I would be changing was the background music. My Peer review suggested I go in depth on my family and my walk with Christ, but I felt that would distract from my original goal of documenting the steps to my Full Sail Journey. Ms. Faria suggested I change the background music as she felt it was too upbeat and distracted the viewer. So I went with a more subtle beat that still remains Hip Hop but not so much in your face. I very much enjoyed this project as it has sparked the video creator inside me!

Week 4 Reflection: RISE Peer Feedback

Reflect: I related to your story for the simple fact it seemed like you felt restrained creatively at your previous college. This was also my case when I initially began college out of high school. It ultimately led me to take a "break" from school. I like how your work speaks volumes for your passion into photography. 

Inquire: When did you begin taking photos? What were the challenges you faced as you began your photo journey? Do you ever see your photography evolving into a bigger platform of video?

Suggest: I would suggest that you try to incorporate background music to your video. You could hear dead air between your words and pauses mid sentence. I would also suggest trying to use transition effects between your photos to make the video easier to watch.

Elevate: Perhaps you could expand your story by elaborating on what your previous college could not offer or do for you career wise. Expand on how Full Sail is helping you achieve these new creative goals. All in all I thought your video was great!

Week 3 Project: Digital Storytelling with Mobile Devices Challenge

Week 3 Project: Digital Storytelling with Mobile Devices Challenge

We used a number of different apps to create this video. We utilized the built in cameras on our different devices,  HCT Smartphone, Samsung Galaxy III Smartphone, iPhone, and iPad, to record all of the video clips. This was also how we gathered the images used in our Shot List. We used Voice Memo apps on both the iPhone and the Samsung Galaxy III for  audio clips. To aid in communication we also used the Google Hangout app to keep in touch when everyone was out and about. We were also able to keep the lines of communication open by using the email apps on our phones. All of the video editing was done through the VivaVideo app.

What was your role in the team?
My role on the team was actually two roles. I was responsible for the audio editing, as well as the video editing. This is what I consider my strengths to be so I was willing to take on these two roles. I will say the video editing process was a bit more difficult due to only using mobile devices. In the end it came out great.

What did you contribute?
I contributed to the the story idea, story plot and suggested different shots we should try to create. As mentioned in the above post I also contributed to the overall look of the video.

What surprised you about the challenge?
What surprised me the most was how easy it came together. My team did a fantastic job of working together and being patient with each other. It was a blessing to have the teammates I did. 

What are you most proud of?
Using only the mobile app Viva Video was very difficult . I am so proud of how fantastic it came out looking. This was one of my biggest accomplishments to date. 

Was it indeed a challenge? Why or why not?
It was indeed a challenge. As I mentioned above I was confident in my editing skills but the wrench in the plan came when I had to find a editing app on my cell phone. It was out of my comfort zone but I knew I could not let my teammates down!

Week 3 Practice: Shot List

Practice: Team Orgnization

For my team I am responsible for the Video Editing as well as the Audio Editing. I am essentially putting the video together, which I am really excited for. I have already started to storyboard the video so when I start receiving the videos it should be a smooth transition into creating a really cool video. I have got a good feel for Final Cut Pro so I am confident our video is going to come out wonderful.
