Reflection on Blog (:

Earlyin the year I came into this calss not knowing anytthing about computers or film-making. Now the end of the year is near and I have gathered some understanding of film-making along with other elements. At the start of the year I learned the importance of filming and using a camera properly. I learned how to set it up on the tripad and how to dump the video on to the computer and capture the images onto permier pro; this process is still a hard one but I have grasped an undeerstanding of it. Going back to permier pro I learned how to use this program at the begining of thye year the class learned about permier pro and how to use it. I learned about the time line, the source pannal, project pannal where the clips go and the pannal where you view the clips on the time line. Knowing how to capture the video onto the computer and permier pro was very important because for my first assignment for the class i had to film myself and give an itroduction of who I am and post it on my blogg. Knowing how to edit the clip and take things out to make the clip clean and understandable made my first project a succses for being the first permier pro project I did. On my second project I had to learn about making titles and scrip wrighting. For the titles I had to learn about lower thirds titles and how to make them apper on the screen and then go away when I wanted them to; I also learned that you can have a title apper on the first shot or clip you take or any clips by puting the clip on the time line locatting the dagger on the time line and putting on the clip then going to the title tab and creating a title like a lower thirds title on the image its self. i grasped this concept fairly quickly. As for the script wrighting this was not so essy but it wasn't rocket science. to write a scrip I had to learan what actions were and the different types of camera angles and shots and how to write the diologue and then open up fireworks wich is a program in the computer thats designed for scrip writing and write in my script using action words, camera angles and shots and formating diologue and much more. Later on in nthe year I showed how I grasped the concepts of putting a video toghether in permier pro. This is shown in a project I did with Sam. In this project i showed how i  can edit the clips move them to the time line and add transitions and titles. You can also see this in the most recent project that I did with Sam as well. Something else I learned from being in this calss is working with others as I mentioned one of thouse people already. Working with other classmantes helped me inmprove my social skills as well as being able to work with others and being patient. I also learned how to taking in other ideas and put out my ideas for others to hear; This is a very important skill one must have when it comes to film-making and I have been a team player sense day one. Working with others was fun. From all this film-making I have to say that edditing would be the hardest thing that I had to do because you cannot just drag the clips onto the time line, add transitions and say I'm done. That just makes your video horrible and it show that you didn't cear for it and didn't put in alot of hard work into making the video. In order for the video to look presentable and understandable you have to take your time to edit and put it together in an order that will make sense. At times I just wanted to throw clips toghether and say I'm done because the editing would not come out how I wanted it to come our or the computer didnnot want to comply with me but I didn't I stuck thrugh it all untill the end, asked for help when I really needed it and worked hard on whatever project I was given amd that shows in all my videos. They did have to be done at profesional level but they are readable and understandable and my hard work paid of in this calss. Proud of everything I have learned in this class.
