Point A to B Transition




For this project we were assigned to have a person move from point A to point B, with obstacles in between. Through this we were supposed to create a small story, ours was a young lady being tardy to school but then realizing she has a test, so she rips up her tardy pass and leaves the building. We use long shots, medium shots, close ups, and over the shoulder shots to show this girls journey around the school. For this project I acted more so of a cameraman/ director although we all exchanged ideas and considered everyones input. I really enjoyed this project because I am far more experienced with Premiere Pro and since I was familiar with it, I had an easier time making my vision come to life. I also really enjoyed the music I chose and I feel like the parts and emotions in the music correspond with my video and I really enjoy that. If i were to do this again I would try to keep the lighting consistent, looking back on my film I notice that as I moved to different parts of the building the lighting varies. Overall I really enjoyed this project and I am very excited to do the chase scene!

How to Print a Document 

What I really liked about this project was that we really got to have our own individual freedom on it. Even from the very beginning when we created our story board, it was so much fun getting to collaborate with my partners about shot sizes, angles, and just our overall ideas. Another reason i really liked this project was that when editing we had even more individual freedom on it, and i think thats when i personally really had to have fun with my creativity. It's amazing to me how different people can take the exact same footage and be able to put their own spin on it. I really enjoyed editing, i worked with premiere pro a bit last year for some yearbook projects so it wasn't very difficult for me to work on which i appreciated going into this project, and i also feel going in with background knowledge gave me a bit of an upper hand. In this project I played the director roll which I also really enjoyed because I got to help create the image I had in my head for it. If I were to do this again I would hope to have a bit more time to actually get my shots, we were on a time crunch and i feel like it was slightly obvious. I really liked my music choice and I feel i edited it to the best of my abilities. Overall I really liked this project.
