Introductory Video:
This was my first time doing a video, I found myself writing
out a script that I followed on my screen. I thought that filming myself was
the easiest for the video-illiterate (funny that I use “illiterate” right?). I
know that this reflection is way after the fact, but I thought that this was
the easiest project that I have done to date.
A/V short video:
This was so difficult. I found myself “done” and almost completely
redoing the project. Finding a way to incorporate writing, film, and audio into
one smooth 3 minute or less concoction wasn’t easy. I found the audio the
biggest struggle. I first recorded my voice over the video…and discovered how
DULL I sound. I imagine that It would have sounded better with background music
but Movie Maker didn’t like to help me with that…basically, I was stuck finding
a better audio track. Then came the epiphany. Alan Jackson (aka my future
husband) I felt that the song that I chose to trace my video got across the
atmosphere and message of who we were. Conveniently, it also looked like the rhythm
that people in the video were dancing to. (I love luck)
Infographic:
This was probably the most frustrating THING that I have
ever created. I am a very hands on creative person—and creating a poster on the
computer was more challenging for me. The colors and layout was so painful that
I finally…gave up. (I know that is what you want to hear Professor…sorry). The
topic I started with was “sheep”, and I discovered that despite the fact that I
know so much…I didn’t want to overwhelm people. So I switched topic, and
discovered that unless I wanted my life to be sucked into this “small” project,
I needed to keep my points simple. So basically I struggled with: layout, the
mode, the info, the color scheme---everything? Hopefully my Critical Photo
Essay won’t make me want to pull my hair out like this did.
