We finished a video on animal abuse. It took us longer than expected and we didn’t quite get it done on time but we got it done. After about 3 weeks of struggling to get all the interviews and edit it all together we successfully finished our video. We got about 5 interviews in and it was sort of a struggle because we messed up on the location the first time. We were able to interview Michelle Nix, Robin, Suzy, Officer Wolfe, and Officer Wells. For Michelle we messed up the location because we went to J&R but apparently she didn’t work there anymore so we went to some house and we had the wrong house so we decided to just go back to the school. With Robin and Suzy however that was easier because they came here so it was less of a struggle for us. For Officer Wolfe and Officer Wells we went over to the police station and it went pretty smooth. We asked some questions recorded the interview and got everything done. After the interview all that was left was to add it to the rest of the video and edit it all together. I think we’ll end up with at least a C because it wasn’t great but it also wasn’t horrible. This video was actually interesting to do because I actually learned a lot about doing interviews.

It’s been a few days since we started our project on animal abuse. So far it’s been going good although I think we could’ve done the interviews sooner and waste less time. Other than taking a while to start interviewing most of the other things have been going pretty good. We’ve done three interviews, one with Suzy, one with, Robin, and one with Michelle. Our first interviews of the year were with Suzy and Robin and they weren’t too good but also weren’t that bad. For our first interviews ever I think we did pretty good. Some things we didn’t do right but we didn’t know that we were supposed to like sending the person we’re interviewing the questions. Josh is the one asking questions and honestly he didn’t do a bad job for his first interview. He actually did better than we expected. The interview with Michelle went pretty good. Although at first we couldn’t figure out what was wrong with the camera and we couldn’t record outside so we went inside and it seem pretty good. We still have to interview Officer Wolfe and Wells but I think these last two interviews will go better than the first three. Hopefully this project turns out as good as we think it will or better.
So I’ve finished my very first video of the 9 weeks and of being back in Holts class. I gotta be honest its good being back in here and working on videos. I just finished my PSA about suicide prevention/bullying. It turned out pretty good all the shots we got were in my opinion great. Some shots we got weren’t the best but also not the worst. I ended up with an A so for my first video of being back I’m pretty proud. Some parts weren’t too great getting the shots took longer than I expected because of all the interruptions. With all the distractions going on and not being able to get my last needed shots it was kind of a struggle to even be bale do the video. We however ended up with a pretty good video in the end. The shots where we had Giovanni “hang” himself were a little too gruesome and it was best to shorten it all up. I’ve gotten it down to one minute with some help. I’m hoping that by the end of the year I’ll be able to make these kinds of videos without struggling too much. I’m hoping to even maybe be able to win an award if it’s possible.
So we did our first attempt at a video on the tricaster and it turned out better than I thought it would. It was in my opinion pretty good. I thought we did better than all of us thought we would. We weren't actually as confused as i thought we'd be. Recording a video seems a little simpler than before now. It really didn't take us long to finish the video. Maybe 2 or 3 days. It probably could've been 2 but someone was gone so there was a delay to our video. The only problem we ran into was when someone was gone we just had to wait a day but then we ran into another problem. For some reason the video didn't have sound so we had to wait another extra day. After two days though we finally got it done.
So we've been working on the tricaster and its been pretty interesting. It's kinda fun to use it too. Considering you can add a few different effects and more. I still don't really understand it but i'm slowly learning. Hopefully i'll be able to use it better and more precisely without having to get help most of the time. The first time I used it I was way lost and didn't know what i was doing. Second time at the tricaster I got maybe one or two effects in and got some videos. Third time I added some effects and transitions so I say I'm doing a little good so far.
So today we finished our video with random shots. It turned out pretty...interesting. Mine it's, something I don't know what I was doing with the video so i just started messing with it. It didn't take long to finish it maybe about two days? But I was a little confused since it was premiere pro instead of movie studio. Premiere pro seems easier and better though. I think ill end up liking it better than movie studio. It was a little simple to get the project done since almost everything you need is right in front of you and its all set up to a way you can easily learn. But yeah I think doing these random shots and using premiere pro is gonna help us understand it more.
So we did an inanimate object video and it seemed confusing to me in the beginning I'll admit I was completely confused but actually it turned out pretty easy. We just basically got to use the shots and mess around with them in premiere pro. I ended up just messing with the color adding in a few transitions and speeding up my music. it looked a little odd but at least I did something. The colors in my opinion looked pretty good tho.
For the past few days we've just been working on our web pages. I don't think any of us are gonna be finished but we've been working on them all hour yesterday and today. We've had to make our blogs since no one had a single blog for anything we did so far. I'd say we've actually done pretty good in my opinion though. This is only my second blog so its not something too exciting. Hopefully I'll be able to keep my web page updated though.
So we finished the chase scenes. Some turned out really good some could've been better. Me and Jaxson finished ours pretty early, we got all our shots the first day. we also got to edit it all together in about 2 days which was pretty easy. In my opinion I say we did pretty good. Somehow though Evelyn and Taylor ended up winning, I'll admit though their video was pretty funny.
So we started a PSA about underage drinking. It was a little difficult at first since we werent able to get the rest of the shots we needed for the video. We had to wait about two or three days to be able to get our final shots. It was a little interesting because we ended up getting the truck we borrowed stuck because of logan. We had to wait for Alexis to get someone from R Brothers to come help us. But in the end it worked out pretty well. We got all our shots and it turned out pretty good. Holt ended up liking it too, he thought it was a pretty good video.
