Final Project

I had 2 choices that I really liked for my project which were the swim montage video, and the animating a painting. In discussion we threw around new ways to do that painting, but I'm not sure how much time I would have to do it if I filmed myself actually painting one of his works, and I think it would take from the concept I initially had, so I started doing the swimming project over the weekend. This is going to a be a video, that has re-edits, and is like the montage project because I;m trying to portray the emotions that someone feels from either watching swimming, or being the swimmer before and during the race.

My plan:

I already got together videos of you tube that I imported to iMovie and started to take apart

During this week I am going to look for music that I think will build up energy, and nervousness

I have video from when I swam on a tape at home, which I was thinking I could somehow convert and maybe incorporate it into my video, so I'm going to bring that home after Thanksgiving and see what I can do with that.

I am organizing my video now, it starts off with showing the swimmers before the race, then goes into the start, then the races, and after them. I broke up the before and the starts from the videos I have, I just need to place them together and make it flow better, which I will do over break.

Then when we come back just work on taking out the things I don't need and improving how the music fits with what's playing.

Animating a Painting

"Colour is the key. The eye is the hammer. The soul is the piano with its many chords. The artist is the hand that, by touching this or that key, sets the soul vibrating automatically." - Wassily Kandinsky

Put together one of his paintings using photoshop and imovie, to the beat of music..

Black Screen to McCain - Cut - Host speaking about Obama's opinion of McCain being president.

McCain to Host - Fade / Wipe - Host asking McCain what the difference is between his campaign and Bush's

Host to McCain - Cut - McCain explains what is different between his campaign and Bush's

McCain to Host - Cut - Tells McCain there was a poll that 68% of America disapproved of Bush's time in office, and if he agrees.

Host to McCain - Cut - McCain responds that he doesn't disapprove of all of the things Bush did while in office.

McCain to Host - Cut - Host says that it sounds like McCain disapproves of Bush's terms then approves.

Host to McCain - Cut - McCain restates he thinks that Bush mishandled the budget, and that he thinks that he is a good person.

McCain to Clock - Fade - Fading out talking about his opinion of Bush.

This is trying to sell the idea that John McCain would be a good president, and would not be a repeat of George Bush.  It uses Q&A and emphasizes most on the candidate rather then the two people talking.

Assignment #1

My recordings for my assignment were about the emotions I had throughout the day. I always get told that I switch from one mood to the next all the time, and I totally agree, so I thought it would be a god idea to track my emotions and what i was doing or what caused them at the time. I think that at home being around my friends and family I tend to have more of these "mood swings," from what I found from my documentation. I notice I'm happy, excited, stressed, and annoyed a lot, but it doesn't switch as dramatically as I thought, which is a good thing. I presented my information in a web/chart because I thought it would be the easiest way to show how many times a day I would feel a certain way. I have the emotion, then i have what caused me to feel that way each time above it.
