Senior project week 3 day 1

Today May 23rd, I completed the editing process for my final cut of my senior project video. It was definitely a lot of work today as I spent almost all the day editing, other than a short 3 hour gym session. I feel as though I really got into the swing of things when I just sat down and got the editing done. I added a lot to my interviews, creating a multimedia masterpiece. I'm not saying I should be in the voting for the oscars but I most certainly should be a honorable mention. I am very very happy to be done with editing because now I can finally see it all together. This project is coming to a close with express fest on Wednesday and I really am proud of what I have created. I would like to thank everyone who made my video possible, a huge thanks to Ryan Graumann for overseeing the process and giving me the b roll I needed to really make this video perfect. Reflecting on senior project in its entirety the editing pieces I really see as something I could use in the future. Navigating editing software is something I had never done previously so I am happy I am a master of iMovie now.

Senior project Days 2 May 10th

 Today was very similar to the last, I spent the majority of it scheduling and completing interviews with my fellow peers. I spent the morning researching what camera angle is most commonly used in close up interviews as I struggled to find a solid one yesterday. After watching some interviews on YouTube I found that making my camera more high angled would be the most optimal when it came to seeing the entirety of my interviewees face. later in the afternoon, after arriving on campus, I interviewed cieron and Emily in the art building. I found the art building a perfect place to film as the lighting and the background were very positive bright colors. Filming both interviews with the proctor pond in the background really gave a more upbeat tone to the interview. As my goal of the project is to make a tool for admissions I hope to create a well rounded, good quality piece of work, and today I think was a good second step in doing so. My mentor Ryan offered me some strong advice to b...

Senior project week 2 day 3

 Today May 18th, I traveled to campus to get some more footage of my interviews during their afternoon activities. I spent the majority of the afternoon at the varsity baseball game getting footage of Tucker Deyett, Josh Reed, Tate Matte and Cieron Britton. Both Josh and Cieron gave me answers relating to baseball during our interview so I thought it would make sense to get some clips of them in action. After the game I Headed to the library to export all of my videos from baseball from my phone to my computer and iPad for editing. I spent a while just shortening and editing just clips from baseball to very small sections so I could insert them into my iMovie, along with the audio of Josh and Cieron explaining what makes the baseball team special to them. Currently I have 9 students whose clips I will be using in the final video, despite me wanting to interview a couple more. I think the majority of seniors have now become so deep in their senior project that it is quite difficult ...

Senior project week 2 day 4

 Today May 19th, I stayed home with the intent of sitting down and grinding out the majority of my editing. I spent the majority of the day separating audio from video and finding photos of campus to put over my questions. As I go through my edited footage finding other types of media to thread into the video is important. At this point in my project their is not many exciting things going on, it is mostly editing that is quite laborious. All I can say is that Ryan was not exaggerating when he told me that editing would be 3 times the amount of time as the filming. Luckily today was quite rainy which created a perfect environment for me to sit at my desk and edit video. As senior project is close to its end Im excited to finish up my video and share it. I still have a lot of editing to complete in the next couple days, so let's just say I'm in the 7th inning of this project.  hours may 19th- 4 hours total project hours 51.25
