Unit 10 - Making Movies

 Student made Alfred Hitchcock film:

I liked this short film. I guess its because I like Hitchcock. But I can see why others wouldn't like it. Its filled with Hitchcock jokes and references. You have to know his movies and about his life to find it funny. I think it was well done. I have no idea how to do animation like that.


Making Movie assignments

Keychain daily create ***

The keychain create was fun. I remember saying that I never wanted to take a video of myself and post it but I took a chance and made a video of myself anyway. The best part is I made this video at 1 am after I had been video editing for 3 hours. It honestly took me so long to do some of the other video assignments that filming this one was a lot easier. 



Highlight Reel *****




If there is one sport I will watch it is football. I grew up watching football every Sunday with my dad. As I got older I learned the game and like everyone else in my family I became a devoted Giants fan. So its easy to say that I love Victor Cruz! I made a highlight reel for him because I missed his salsa dance this year while he was injured.

I will be honest, I don't know how well I did on this one. It took me so long to figure out how to isolate a part in the clip and mute it. I watched 3 youtube videos to try and figure it out. Finally I found the right youtube video that explain MovieMaker very well. I was finally able to create  my bleeping in the scene. I used the famous Marlon Brando scene from A Streetcar Named Desire. Instead of screaming Stella I have him mooing, hahaha.

Making a travel video was fun because I love to travel. After going to Europe for the first time last year I have had such wunderlust ever since. Its actually funny that I picked this assignment because just yesterday I booked a trip to Europe for next year. In January 2016 I will be visiting Amsterdam, Paris, and London. I am so excited about this trip! I started the video with Amsterdam, then London, and Paris. I have the most pictures of these cities in my video. I have been wanting to see some of these sites for years. I finished up the video with images of Dublin, Ireland and Athens, Greece because those places are on my wish list of places to see.


I am going to be honest I found this unit to be the most difficult. I spent 5 hours just doing this part of the unit. That's not including typing up the blog post and uploading the videos. That I did on a separate day and took about 30 minutes. This was a very time consuming unit for me.

Chaplin Video

The Charlie Chaplin assignment was really time consuming. I found that it took a while to pick out the clips I wanted to use. After choosing all of the clips I recorded them on my phone. Then I found music that wold be played in the background. I think it is too loud but I wasn't sure how to fix this. Then I added the audio to the movie in movie maker. After watching a few youtube videos I learned a lot about movie maker.
