Video 1 - Fall 2008

This will be a collection of videos created during the Fall 2008 semester, excluding the final project.

The final project is currently incomplete, and if time allows, will be re-shot, and re-edited during the summer of 2009.


Interview






For our first assignment we needed to interview someone, anyone, and make it interesting.
The focus was to learn to take and condense and string along dialogue in a convincing way through editing.

I met some ELP (English Language Program) student from South Korea and interviewed them.

The subtitles needs re-working.

The original interview took about 20 minutes.

The credit song is "Tell Me" by the Wondergirls
I do not have permission.

Editing sofware: Final Cut Pro







Color Bars

Take 1





Take 2







The only thing we could use was the color bars from Final Cut Pro.
No additional sound or footage.
The most important thing was to make it interesting.

And then we were assigned to do it again after the critique.

I think the purpose was to learn our editing software inside and out and get all the little video effects out of our systems.

This was hard for me. I don't follow with abstract videos very well.

Youtube Assignment - Truth and Fiction
Group project

Chinese Character Corner






The focus of this assignment was to use youtube as a medium. So we would have to deal with the small size of our video, perhaps the low quality, etc.

An additional twist was to incorporate something true and something false.

I think we managed to convincingly and seamlessly incorporate truth and fiction.

Can you guess?


Editing Software: iMovie, Pro Tools

My part: The narrator, script writer, researcher, finding some of the images.







Derive





Interpret Dérive however we want to, submit a proposal and create an approved idea.

Based on the article I read, I took inspiration in the idea of wandering.

I spent the whole day in Washington DC and decided to use the footage of the metro.

The song is "Yasmin the Light" by the Explosions in the Sky.
I do not have permission for this song.
