Holiday Traditons

My partner Michelle Hernandez and Idid a good job on our editing. We used transitions that no one else used. I believe it is called a cube spin, it looks really cool. Everyone else just cut right to the next scene but we wanted to make it look more smooth. I also thought we did a good job of getting our message across. We explained our traditions clearly. Our backround images are colorful and nice to look at. In other videos I noticed people going back and forth to eachother like they were having a conversation. I would have liked to do that because it's more entertaining then just stating facts. To create this video, I had to come up with my script and write it down on a big poster board so I could read while speaking in front of the camera. Then, I had to get rid of the green screen on premiere pro and add in our desired background. From there, I edited our scenes to what we fell was necessary to put on the final draft. The last thing I did was make the title screen and end credits. Michelle was a great partner to have. She helped a lot. I can definitelysay the work was split 50/50. It wasn't just one person doing everything. Whatever you see in the video, we both contributed to. If I had another chance to complete this project, I would make it funnier. I would also make it seem as if we were having a conversation going back and forth so it's not just us talkng into the camera. I would make the music a bit softer because it's kind of loud and blocks out our voices sometimes. Other than that, I had fun working with Michelle and we did the best we could with the amount of time that was given to complete this assignment.

When you make a video you can stand in front of a big green screen and once you start you editing you change it to black which allows you to put in any picture you want to make it look like you are somewhere else. When filming with a green screen, you need to make sure nothing else is in the backround and you can't be moving around too much otherwise it will be too hard to edit. Problems that can arise from using a green screen is that if you edit youself too much you can actually disapear. Shadows are a big problem when editing with a green screen because when you change it to black the colors will be off. Adobe Premiere Pro was much easier to use because i'm already used to it and that's what Dr. A had orignally taught us on.
