2 Actions w/ Ava Yerkes

While filming this project I learned that I must be creative with my shots and how I get them. I may need to use books to support my camera instead of the tripod because i want to be much lower to the ground in comparison to the height of the tripod. I also learned that when you tell your subject what to do you must be very clear about that you mean. For my next project I hope to add creativity and make my shots look much nicer than they do now. Our group did worked well together and collaborated, or cooperated, with each other extremely well. The group had a friendly air and allowed for both of us to be quite comfortable in our space. I believe if we worked together again I believe it would work out just as well as it did previously. Overall, I enjoyed this project and my group.

6 Shot System Video

The video above shows one continuous video using shots from a system. These shots are:
Extra Close Up - A shot that show detail and what the hands are doing
Close Up - A shot that shows just the subjects face and their emotions
Over The Shoulder - A shot that shows what the person is doing while showing the back of their head
Medium Shot - A shot where the subject is shown from the waist up
Wide Shot - A shot with someone's whole body shown and what they are doing with little background
Extra Wide Shot - A shot showing the whole subject and their surroundings

While doing this project I learned how to use the six shot system and why it is used. I also learned how to import music from a new website. I will use the newly learned system and the sounds and music in all of my upcoming videos by putting all of the clips into a nice order and creating a well-made story.

Highlight Video

    This is my YouTube highlight video. I created it by getting clips off of the internet along with music and adding them into Final Cut Pro. In Final Cut Pro, I learned how to cut videos in half using the blade tool, I learned how to disconnect audio from video in order to add my own audio, and I learned how to use the placement toll to move clips to anywhere on the timeline.

    I chose this hobby because it is one of my true passions. Many times when I am bored or feeling down, I pick up one of my guitars and just play. It is a way for me to express myself and I love learning new chords or riffs. Seeing my ability blossom as I go is also a great experience, going from novice to a more intermediate player was amazing. It is important to me because I can let out anger or pain without hurting myself or others and helps me get through rough times. Sometimes my guitar is my entire life. Overall, music is my life, bands, trumpet and guitar are my life. That is why I chose this hobby to showcase.
