Reflection post

Ebrahim.

To wrap up this semester I had a great time in this class. Being able to attend class and also work on my homework in class allowed me to ask my TA questions on my homework to insure a good grade. Needing a laptop in this class is very crucial, keeping up with assignments and checking blackboard on a consistent basis helped me greatly end this lass. Having all the material online allowed me to see the work before I went to class or allowed me to not even have to go to class making it extremely convenient.                       Gaining a rhythm made it easier on turning in assignments because I knew when they would be due. My favorite project was the final video I had to make with premiere pro CC. I like it because working out is such a nice feeling, so working out on camera made me feel even better. I enjoy editing photos and videos a lot and being able to learn new techniques with this program was a very fascinating experience for me. I was able to add transition effects which turned out really nice. I also learned many other techniques such as adding a title, and adding music to my video. The skills I was able to learn from the tutorial for Premiere Pro CC will help me a lot in the future. I believe my major has much more to do with the making of these types of videos.

The level of difficulty for this class was high the skill needed to learn and master the programs were not easy. None the less I pushed through knowing that one day soon I will use these skills and when I use these skills I want to be sharp and know what I am doing thank you com210 for teaching me perseverance.

In this assignment I attempted to rely heavily on my topic, therefore I incorporated working out into the picture. In the video I created, I was in a gym stretching and doing several arm work out demonstrations. I did curls and lateral extensions which works the entire arm as well as some tricep workouts which made up the total of 01:05 mins. Transition effects such as Dissolve to black and fade transition were used to transition between different workout clips. I filmed four workout clips in total, the first clip was more of an establishment shot where I show the entire gym, and the following three clips are workout demos. Razor cut tool was used to cut certain parts of the video that was unnecessary. Audio files such as a narration was later on added to the video clip to explain and guide the viewer through the process.I took your comments into consideration.

Audio files such as a narration was later on added to the video clip to explain and guide the viewer through the process. The video was used as a constructional method to view a workout which is strongly dealing and relating to my topic. Having the viewer view a visual allows for them to get the whole idea of the picture and how each and every workout should be done the proper way. Taking breaks in-between workouts are very important, and by taking a break it doesn’t necessarily mean stop everything your doing, you can stretch out a little during break time or take deep breaths, or even drink some water to help you stay hydrated. The use of premiere pro cc has allowed me to have more confidence when dealing and orchestrating with video editing and composing. I was able to compose this final piece of my topic related video without using any tutorials. I am very confident that in the future if I had to use this program to compose any other video or audio related work, it would be very easy for me!

I Focused on my topic which is working out so I implemented videos of me working out. I have 4 videos in this take. Thank you.

Lift one is a video of me doing triceps with the weight machine 3 sets of 10.

Biceps with dumbbells 3 sets of ten.

Extension raise working the entire arm 3 sets of ten.

A video of the gym as well as a little stretch.

I decided to focus on the different sounds people make while working out at the gym. I made two different voice recordings, the first one was like an introduction to my project and topic, and the second voice recording was the actual sounds people make, I recorded four different sounds. I opened up audition cc and made a new multitrack session under files and named it Raw files and made sure it was mp3 format. Then I added my sound files and dragged it into my editor section, I played each sound file to see which one should be track one and which one should be track two. After determining that, I placed them in the correct track sections. The tools I used to compose this project was: move tool, razor selected clips tool and that was about it. I didn’t encounter any technical challenges this time because I was familiar with audition cc. And if I had to give tips for my fellow classmates, my only suggestion is that play with the audition cc tool so you get familiar with how things work, and watch the tutorials a few times and keep going over it until you can compose an audio piece without watching a tutorial.

The Topic I have had for the whole semester is working out and its usage to the body and its benefits. In this Tutorial I was using audio to describe and give the listener a feeling for the noises and aspect of working out, and what to expect. Tried to tie my topic to that. I hope when you review it its evident. That I kept both in mind when making and creating this project. The Soundcloud use was cool just adding I enjoyed the Soundcloud usage. I enjoy Soundcloud and will continue to use it.

A little raw audio for you.

The logo is a idea from m y topic idea which is based on working out and stretching. With that in mind I tried to make my logo likable and appeal to the eye. Since working out isn’t the easiest or quickest to comprehend  thing to do I used a simple phrase to grab the readers attention and still get the main point of working out across. The logo is a draft so I just used the main idea of my topic as a clear idea and point to base my logo off. I used the shape tool to shape the shapes of the banner to a like able shape, this tool came in handy. The pen tool helped with outlining and making the banner stand out more and give it a strong outline. I used a repetitive type of idea to get the idea across to the reader, GET ACTIVE.” The type text tool was used to make the phrase typed through the type text tool allowing me to give my main point across to the reader. Object tool was helpful in the outline of the context of the logo. Logos are cool because you can do so many things with them to get a idea across to a mass amount of people, through a logo. Wanting to give a certain feeling or idea when the reader looks at your logo it should be interesting, simple but yet elegant. This project was fun and challenging but either way I did it. I didn’t use any out side sources. These tools being learned a essential to a business opening or corporation building being able to digitally make flyers and logos and point of views. For work or personal reasons its a good tool to have.
