Digital Short

During this unit I learned to make a movie using FinalCut Pro. I had a really hard time deciding what to make a movieon, until myUplift class decided we needed an informational video about the class for other students. It tool alot longer than I thought because I had to wait until the class was over to have all my footage and to know what the class was about. I'm most proud of actually finishing it all the way through, it waskind of frusturating. On a scale of 1-10 i give this video a 9!

Web Portfolio

The purpose of this was to make a web portfolio for everyone to see. It was actually alot easier than I thought it would be. I'm most proud of the fact that it's goig to be on the web for everyone t see. My favorite part was when I decided I was going to make it look like a guitar amplifier I got excited to get started. Overall I give it a 9 out of 10.

Photoshop

The purpose of this assignment was to become familiar with photoshop, I chose a picture from a book and learned how to change it from a normal picture to pop art, then I chose a picture of my own to transform. This actually took longer than I expected, photoshop was kind of complicated. It worked out because it turned out aalot better than I thought. On a scale of 1- 10 i give this one a 9. If I did it again I would pick a picture with more colors.

Mood As Color

In this unit I learned how to represent different moods using only three colors. The pictures I made turned out better than I thought, I had fun with them and made them awesome. I'm most proud of the frightening picture, it took me a little longer than expected. On a scale of 1-10 I give this one an 8.

Tween Animation

In this unit I was supposed to learn about digital animation. There was alot of unexpected small problems that came up, It didn't turn out quite like I thought it would, it turns out flash is a pretty complicated program. It did take a little longer than I thought but I liked how it turned out. On a scale of 1-10 I give it a 7.

4 Black Squares

The purpose of this assignment was to learn how to communicate feeling using four black squares. The only thing unexpected was that I forgot to save one set of blocks so I had to do it over again today. It turned out really different than I thought, when I started I had no clue what to do with the blocks to make them represent a feeling. On a scale of 1-10 I give this one a 7. I think doing only four pictures for each word was a good idea, I think I would have gotten really stumped if I had to do six.

The Garageband Song

The purpose of this assignment was to learn how to use garageband loops to make a song. The only unexpected thing that happened was the song jumping from 45 seconds to 1:30. The song actually turned out better than I thought it would. Nothing took longer than I thought, it actually went faster than I thought. If I did this again I wouldn't make a techno/dance song and on a scale of 1-10 I would give it an 8.
