For my final performance video, I used a combination of programs provided on the Mac; iMovie and 10 GarageBand songs mixed together. This video is a combination of videos that I have taken from my vacations the last two summers with my family and friends. Some videos took place in the Bahamas, and others took place in Jamaica. I shot these videos using my GoPro Hero 4, and I always wanted to make a video compiled of these mini videos, but never had the chance or the means to do so. Every time I tried, I didn't know the little tricks that I do now for it to turn out how I imagined it in my head. This videos overall purpose was to capture what life has to offer when you put your phone down and spend time with those you care about to experience new things, and enjoy life as it comes. My in-class inspiration was from when we saw the video that incorporated a lot of overlapping scenes as well as slow-motion, so I decided to slow-motion some parts to capture the feelings behind the video. This project consisted of a lot of time inside and outside of class. For starters, my GoPro wouldn't connect to my phone so I was unable to get the videos transferred for a while, and then I ran out of storage on my phone. Once I got everything transferred and got started, ideas just came to me. My eyes stayed glued to the screen for a good 3 hours just working on compiling the videos strategically where they flowed nicely together. One of the hardest parts was creating music from scratch that would correspond with the moods of the video, as well as matching the sounds to the specific parts of the video, to the best of my ability. I am overall very pleased with my project as it tested my limits and I truly was able to challenge myself to fill new expectations I didn't know were possible. This was such a fun project and I am so happy I got to experience it!
Ellie and I did a collaboration for our stop motion animation combining two ideas, called "Modern Childhood." We started out with the idea of me driving the invisible boat mobile to pick her up, but then decided to add a twist. We incorporated the idea of Uber tied with the invisible boat mobile, combining modern transportation with a well known childhood "transportation". After dropping Ellie off at her location, I picked up my next rider, Gabby, and proceeded to drive and do my job as an Uber driver. This project was overall a fun experience and I enjoyed getting the opportunity to use my creativity, in combination with Ellie's, to create something funny for others to enjoy. :)
For my collage, I originally started with the idea to make it about a bunch of things I like, but I quickly decided that with this project I wanted to have a meaning of some sort behind it. With this in mind, I decided to switch gears and go towards a collage about social media influences on girls in todays society. Mostly what happens is girls see other girls, or famous figures for that matter, and use social media to compare themselves and pick out what they believe is a flaw. They tend to use editing apps in order to make themselves more appealing, which then will lead to more likes, comments, and followers, which ultimately is every girls goal. It is a really sad world we live in that this has to be a competition; the more likes you have the more random people desire you as a person, and the more girls want to be you. With my collage, I took a picture of a girl peeking at the bottom and added an iPhone reflection in her sunglasses. Over her head, is a mini compilation of Insta...
One of my favorite broadway videos I got to watch on this website was the "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" performance. Although this video wasn't the full experience, I was blown away by only watching the two minute clips taken throughout the various scenes and pieced together to form this short trailer. I was truly amazed and taken a back from the exquisiteness of the sceneries this performance displayed. The scene where Charlie walks the streets was displayed perfectly with the rundown appearance and gloomy feel you take away when watching the movie. I was especially taken a back when the scene displayed the taste testing room, where it appears to look like a valley of grass, hills, and trees, but everything is edible. This scene captured the true scene which is hard to display on stage, but this team managed to do it exquisitely! The colors of the lighting within the scenes were bright and colorful, filling the spectrum and having the audience truly experien...
