Titles




This is an example of a still, overlay, and title template.Still titles are ones that are a plain color in which I personally designed it by picking my font and font size and placing the text.
An over lay is when placing a text over the file so it will pop up as the clip is playing. a Template title is already in the programming system called premire pro. When using premire pro to create titles or any program a few tips to including when your using a software program to create titles never use the same colour as your colour font for example if your putting lettering on the sky you wouldn't use sky blue. This is a mistake I had made at first well not exactly with this example of course. You would use templates or still titles when you want an opening scence,interviews to introduce the speaker,or even actors inner thoughts. You would use overlays when you want to display a name and title of someone in an interview.

Lifting/Extracting




A simple cut in the timeline means making a cut in the timeline itself. When cutting the other clips,the timeline will show a gap left between the two clips. A ripple delete edit is when removing a clip without leaving a gap between the clips. This can be achieved by right clicking the selected clip of your choice. Ripple deleting, the other clips to the right of the deleted clip will connect to the clips (left). Lifting and extracting are two ways to cut a clip at one time. This can be done by choosing the in and out point of the second screen of the program and select either the lift or extract function. Lifting is similar to cutting. While extracting is like a ripple delete, in terms of what happens to the clips in the timeline such as the others you had chosen. This is an example of an extracting edit.

Overlays, Inserts



This is an example of an overlay edit. An overlay edit places a clip on top of another clip. To do this, you select the area in which you want the overlay to be at, and then you drag it OVER the original clip. I decided to add the 2nd clip where I did because to me that made the most sense where it ended up. Although the clip was an odd one to edit.




The difference between an overlay and an insert edit is an overlay OVERLAYS a clip, and insert is an inserted clip into another clip interuppting the original clip without losing anything. You would use an overlay when you want a bit of an interruption, while you’d use an insert edit when you want everything nice and smooth. In this case the insert edit works better because it looks smoother then the other cips, overlay.

Baler Interview Project




Title:
My title and credits are both done very well. They are both grammatically correct, the text is centered, and the front is large to see. Also the title fits very well with the content of the video itself.
Clips:
All in all the video is very smooth the only part that I would like to fix would be the last three videos. They are not very smooth.
Format:
the video is in the correct format--the size is just right.

I am very happy with this project for the first legit video taht i have done all by myself I am very proud. Of course I would like to have added background music, but that is for another time. And if I were to do this project over again I would not change anything besides the transitions for the last three videos.

I sadly did not have the chance to work with a partner, I missed class Friday--that lead me to have to do this project by myself one day after school. Although I did help someone with her video (Lizzy Frasca). Once i was done with my video and everything I helped her do the actual process. She was not sure how to actually do the video editing process. So I kind of walked her through everything.

Intro-pro1/Reflection

In this video we practiced editing clips. Cristian Murillo and I worked on this video together in class both editing this clip of a fellow student.


About the product:The end product that Cristian and I came up with I am very happy with. It had a nice starting point and nice ending point. The only thing I wish was different was the size of the video of the student actually talking. I think it was a bit on the small side. For the next video I hope to get some background music or something to add to it.

About the process:When Cristian ended up getting completely lost on what to do I was tere to help guide him. He didn't really get a chance to help me because I wasn't able to make my own video. But I was able to learn the whole process of editing a simple video. I was able to really do the actual process with the help of the slide show taht Dr.A provided for us.

Patience

This video is all about having patience even when it is really hard to.
The video was shot in the middle of the day so it shows how long the older man has been working on the cement. Once seeing his grandson walking on it, he then has to fix it. The lighting helps shows that the older man has worked a long time on the cement.
