Reflection on Holiday Greeting Video

After watching other people's videos I learned a lot about what we could've done to make the video better. First of all, we probably could've put some more humor and maybe filmed the video after school. I would've felt better and more relaxed if I could've filmed in front of less people. I think we did a good job in editing and the greenscreen, but I noticed some mistakes that I made. There's a part in the video where I stop for a second and try looking at what else I have to say. I think it would've been better if I didn't pause there. In the end credits, we put our citations, but we forgot to cite the photos of our backgrounds. Something I would want to change is the beginning title. It could've been better and have the words popping out with some effects in the words, much like the one Cassandra's video did. I also would've wanted to have just a bit more humor just to grab people's attention and to make the video more entertaining. In our group, I helped writing out the script and citing the few citations that we did get. My partner, Cesar, helped me to think of what to say in the script. He also helped me pick out the pictures and the music for the background. I helped Cesar by helping find information for his side of the project. After watching the other videos I found some things I would want to change in my video. I would've liked to use the cross dissolve effect to transition the clips. I would also probably like to have more of an up beat music playing in the back. Overall I think me and my partner did a great job editing this video with the little time that we spent trying to work on it.

Holiday Greenscreen

Green Screen

A green screen is a green backround that you put when making a video. The green screen helps you change the background so the video could look like its taking place somewhere else. When you film with a green screen, you have to make sure there are no wrinkles or shadows in the green screen because it could cause some problems. When I used Adobe After Effects, editing the green screen was easier. This workshop helped me learn how to use a green screen.
