Final Video Draft-Unit 4

This Unit has been an interesting one starting with frustration and ending with a sense of accomplishment. I learned through working on this project that there are a lot of factors going into filming that I never really thought about. Like story boards and camera angles as some examples of concepts I learned while working on this project. From my first video draft I didn’t really have enough solid footage. So a big change from my draft to my final is I got myself and Rick a friend of mine into the studio to quickly capture a take on this upcoming matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and Jacksonville Jaguars. I felt that this was the best way to finish up the video with some actual footage of myself talking behind a microphone. I also noticed that a few of my critiques were to remove the background music when I was talking as it was distracting. Though I made the decision to keep it in. My video didn’t seem to have much to offer audio wise without that so I kept and it also made the scenes a bit more watchable. I added a few more video transitions to show my understanding on how to use the program. All in all I’m satisfied with my project. The hardest part about this unit was figuring out how to use the newer edition premiere when the tutorials provided were a bit outdated. So things weren’t that easy for me to figure out at first. Though with practice and effort I figured it out. What really liked was filming in general or looking for the right time to film. I also like using a few different filming angles trying to see how they would all look together. It turned into a puzzle trying to match them all together and it was really fun. I had a blast being on KUGR and as the semester ends I feel that from this class I did learn a lot about multimedia creation. I already used some of the things I’ve learned in this class for other projects in other classes so this was a great class to take.  I look forward to what ill get into next.

Thanks,

Video Draft Post Unit 4

This has been an interesting couple of weeks. I haven’t really had opportunities to get real good footage yet. Though with dead week coming up and a lot of chaos in my life dies down I think its going to be a good filming week moving forward for the final draft post. That being said for my video I went around campus finding shots of the brick buildings, because I really enjoy the sight of brick buildings it brings a super old school feeling to me like the early 1900’s time. I tried to get as many different angles when it came to the buildings. Using the 10 second sometime 30 second rule to capture the environment around campus. My topic for this semester has been based on my participation in KUGR. I wanted to capture the beauty found around campus and tell a quick story about my short time with KUGR. So I recorded my self narrating my experiences from the beginning. I used my mobile device to record the narration and touched it up on audition. I from there used what I had already edited using the raw footage from the earlier assignment to put together a short clip. I played around with a few transitions seeing what would work better and give some spice to this video. I switch to first person view while I walked up the stairs at Murrow in a sense trying to recreate the first time I went to KUGR. This is only a draft and is still under review that is why I put the to be continued page at the end. I want to see what critiques I get from my peers who can help me try different things that I did not think about. Though looking ahead for the final draft I want to actually get some footage of me actually in the studio. I think that would be a solid part of the story especially since I have almost a full minute until I reach the limit. I look forward to hearing your guys ideas to help me improve my product.

Look forward from hearing from you,

Jeremy Schuler

Raw Footage and Story Board

com210-storyboard-templateFor my Story board I made just a general outline. In which I want to go by. I plan on getting shots around campus, because I’m going to go with a narrative story about me first arriving at WSU and being in awe of my surroundings and realizing I’m at an actual university. I then want to talk about my experiences. I want to focus the story about my path towards KUGR and how I started falling in love with broadcasting. I then want to move on with the final cut with me behind the camera answering questions interview style. My story is subject to change that is with the TBA and the actual timeline may go up to 2 minuets depending on the amount of content I get.  Below are some of the shots I acquired and more to come.

Unit 4 Tutorials

I had a rough time with these tutorials. I feel moving forward my skill with this program will improve greatly as I get to know it. I felt the programs used in the tutorial are a bit out dated and had me confused at times. Though at the end of the day I took this class to learn how to use these programs and I’m well on my way. Below are the attached files. Not my best work, but I’m still learning.
