week 12

Hey Jenna,
So today is our last day and our presentations have been out in full force.
They were really great even though we had a mishap on mine with the projector it was still good movie i think.
I have learnt a lot of the semester and my five pieces of work i think really high light where i have come from.
* my postcard- of my friend Janea which was black and white with text and very barbra kruger inspired was one of my first pieces of work
* My canvas self portrait which is something i really like as it was very magical and just came up really good and i really like it because its a self portrait but it doesn't quite look like me
* My fan which is black and red with black feathers and the image of janea again and her legs and body at the bottom of the fan look like they are fanning out too.
* lastly my two videos of the same earth song dance which played together one filmed in a studio and the other outside int he car park whilst it was raining.
This was too show the feeling of a dancer would do anything to dance.
The presentations have been fantastic everyone has had some really different ideas from dance, mask, self obessed and even nature.
This class has taught me alot and i have really enjoyed using the different programs even though i had moments of hating on the computer and modern technology.
Have a nice and safe break jenna!

week eleven

Hey Jenna,

So today's class left me loving and hating on final cut pro.
This week my videos of the girls dancing outside and inside are finally on the computer with no deleting from my dad. They just worked and it was time for me to opening up final cut pro and get serious about this editing business.
So at first i was editing and nothing was going the way i wanted it was not rendering and i couldn't watch it. So after opening a new project 6 or 7 times i took a break watched jackies presentation and finally got to it.
After playing the video.
working out exactly what i wanted to do i was finally able to learn to love final cut pro.
It is a little fiddly trying to get my cube effect to turn as the girls turned it took a lot of stop start and the annyoing thing with final cut pro is you have render everything before you can watch it so even if you change your mind you can't see it until it has been rendered. Which i found to be soooo annoying.
It also took so effort cutting the videos to get them to be in sync as a car was coming and the girls nearly got run over, i hand to cut and sync the video so it looked like the dance continued with out stopping.
so hopefully i can have this work done by the end of the week
because i plan to show both pieces side by side each other in contrast of day and night!
have a good one Jenna
