We have a video project, make a PSA about a certain social topic. This was, just like the other video projects we had, boring at first, but grew to be more fun as we went along. The first part we had to do was make a script, which was pretty slow, but we got it done. I also had to research, because I was the writing department, which went by quickly too. But, putting that together with Judah and Jaiden, the graphical and video people, was the hardest. Since, we had to make some adjustments in order to fit our parts together, or make certain elements up with someone else's plans. Then, we had to actually film, which was the slowest part, but the most fun. Since we got to recording a bit early, we had a bit more time and tried to figure out how to actually do each of the roles, as I don't know how to act. We had to shoot fourteen shots, with multiple takes in some. We also goofed around a bit, due to the somewhat open interpretation with my script. This resulted in not so serious line deliveries, like me going "Am Sad," or use not being able to walk off screen correctly. But, we had good cuts and footage that resulted in a pretty good video. So, I liked this project, since it was fun and had a nice end product of a video that involved all sorts of elements to put together. There were laughs, dramas, and lots of fun to be had. So, what did we learn, again?

Sorry for the CAPITALIZATION, I "had" to go on a weekend long vacation with family. In which I couldn't bring my computer, because we went straight there from school, and I forgot once we got home, until now, before bed. So, we're making montages, with ACTUAL clips of footage, AND sound effects. This was just as fun as the last montage, but way more hard since we had to gather clips, sound effects, AND music. But, I wanted to use just the sound effects, for a more unnerving, isolated feeling in my Capital Corruption montage. But, the rest was pretty hard, since we had to nut down the footage to fit the twenty second time limit, and to get the one part we want. The sound effects were not so bad, since they were pretty fun to listen to. But, alas, I couldn't turn into the deadline, and can't show the video for the montage, again. The video is done, but I have to go ALL THE WAY back in the history to find each clip's exact web address to cite, it's also in the school computer, oops. Well, we must research now. So, let's research... sound in movies, because that is what we are doing, sound in movies. I already did this concept in one of the first presentations we did in the year, which, I think, is still in the "my works" tab. So, Thomas Edison invented the phonograph in 1877, and people were like "Hey, why don't we just have this along with pictures to make a more (literally) cinematic experience?" Well, they did, after each the phonograph and the movie were successful by themselves, AND after they figured out how to sync each, and made one of the first "talkies," "The Jazz Singer." After a LOT of development, it became not just an industry standard, but a basic component of film today. So, what did we learn?
