Production 2- "focus of your work"; using Premier Pro/After Effects, more filming, and VFX

 Week 8: In the begin of Week 8 I started to mess around in Premier Pro and Adobe After Effects with some sample drone footage that I shot. I did this to get a better feel for it and try to understand all the features and  figure out what each of them did. Throughout this week I took a lot of videos with my drone and try and fins the  best place to film with it. Also, in Premier Pro I figured out how to put the black boxes around the film like how really movies have. Also, this week I tested out some different Adobe apps to see if any of them were easier and could go what I need them to do. But the easiest one was After Effects which is still really confusing. 

Week 8 Part 2: In the later part of week 8 I started to really film with my drone and found the perfect filter to put on it to make it seem like a darker world. Which is what I was trying to do. After that I took some of the footage and put it into Premier Pro and added the black boxes around it. Then I figured out how to export it into After Effects. Which was really confusing. Then I found this website with really good stock footage and stock vfx. So I downloaded the vfx and added onto the drone shot which took 3 hours just for me to add one smoke affect. But after a while I got faster and faster at it and completed the shot.

To Team or Not Team

  To Team or Not Team: I have at arrived at my decision whether to work on my portfolio project in a group or not and have decided to work in a group. Even though I know that it will be hard to work in a group, since I am online. But I have  actually decided  to work in a group, my decision is a result from the experience with the “Social Media Peer Account” and the Lost at Sea” team-building activity on Blackboard. For example, when doing both the social media and the lost at sea activity it was extremely hard trying to talk back and forth to my teammate while being online. But once we figured out a way to communicate the activity was fun. This is because as an online school student, you don’t really get to talk to your friends in class or anyone really for that matter. But with this activity the online students got to talk and collaborate with anyone in the class. This made the activity's go super quick and I felt like I paid more attention to the assignment at hand. Al...

Peer Review

  After presenting  I got a lot of feedback from my peers . The main thing they said was that I should add more VFX especially to the  street shot. Which I heavily agree  about. I was actually planning to add VFX to the street shot , but I ran out of time. But now since I have a little bit before I have to send my project to Cambridge so I can add those finishing touches such as  more VFX. Also, when getting feedback people said to  add more sound  e ffects.  One example they gave me was to add explosion soun ds  when there was smoke VFX on screen. Which  in my opi ni on will make the scene more impactful  in the long run .  The last thing  people said was to make the intro  t itle scene longer. On this screen it  has text that  explains what this story is going to be about . The r eason they said to make it longer was because they  couldn’t read the whole thing  b y the time the screen went away....
