This project was the most exciting to me because my topic is based on film, videography, and photography. Making a video to showcase my passion is what I love to do. For this I used all video clips I had captured on vacation and various different travels. I was excited to use drone footage I recorded over the summer because that is an area of film that is becoming more popular to use to capture moments and places. To make this I used inspiration from several travel vloggers on youtube who get paid to make edits of their highlights from their trips. I pretty much made a montage to showcase my travels and my talent.
My design process was somewhat easy I complied all video clips from my camera and imported them into premiere. I then found a song that was techno, upbeat, and had a good melody. I think finding a song is one of the most important steps when editing a video because it helps you cut and edit the clips to match the beat of the song which is one of the main techniques I used to edit this video. I received a lot of good feedback for my peers and what both of them said in the comments was that I forgot to add a screen crediting the song of choice and who filmed and edited. So in my revision process I added this in at the end.
I think the most challenging part of the video was making my end title or graphic because it is a glitch title. I taught myself how to do this over the summer but it still doesn’t get easier. I used a basic title screen then created a bunch of different key frames to move the title back and forth to give the effect that it is glitching. I then went in and used the glitch transition/effect in adobe to add the final touches to complete it. I did not have any difficulties with the software. However, it is different to learn a new software because I am used to Final Cut Pro because that is what I used in my classes in high school was adapting to a different software has its challenges.
