What I Learned

1) Things I learned from this groups video was that using cohesive titles (same style and color) really add to the video. They were colorful and fun and caught EVERYONE's attention.

2) Another thing I learned was that having several different people as interviews and cutting them up into several different parts are very effective. They keep the audience's attention.

3) I learned while watching was that you can have PPT effects in videos.




4) Something I learned from this group was that acting from the group itself can be EXTREMLY fun and effective. The group did a lot of thier own acting (with setting up a scenario) and since they went full out it worked and didn't seem cheesy.

5) Having Crystable[sorry if i spelled it wrong] come in and being so inspirational with a great message and making it so personal was very effective.

Cyberbullying Reflection

What parts of your video are you most satisfied with and proud of?
The music and the answers we got from the interviews.

What comments from others were helpful to you in creating your final draft?
To break up Lomanto's interviews with some other titles and to take out some parts of her interview.

What changes did you actually make on your final video?
We changed the titles for the interviews, fixed the "Prevention" slide and made it multiple slides. We fixed the music and ending.

What changes would you make if you had another day or two?
I would have liked to have added a slide between Betty and Lomanto's interview. my group was going to but we forgot to add it in.

If you had the chance to do the project all over again, what would you do differently?
I would add a few more effects into the video and also I would have aadded a few pictures.

What realizations, discoveries, and understandings did you reach about creating videos?
That I could make a good video using the techniques I learned. That wwith a little luck that getting good interviews is pretty simple, just got to find the right people. To create a GOOD product it takes a lot of extra time.

What other thoughts do you have about your own project?
I think with what we had to deal with (film being ruined and time being lost very easily) my group did a very good job. The film was more informational and I'm okay with that. I liked that we started with one path and we stuck with it.

Cyberbullying Final Draft

Cyberbullying

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.
