30 Second Video

This video's purpose was to get familiar with using the school's cameras, importing the video, and editing it in iMovie. I decided to leave the audio alone because I thought it was bizarre that instead of the peaceful sounds you would expect from a historic, scenic campus all you can hear is the sound of landscaping and construction. The subject matter was supposed to be our favorite space on campus, but since I don't have one I chose to film the Cater Walk because it is a walk that I take every day.

3-4 Minute Video

This is my 3-4 minute video assignment. I decided to focus on my pet goats as for my subject matter, and use the techniques that we learned about in our video classes in the Beck Lab. To that end, I focuses on editing the video to 'go along with' the music I chose. Certain points in the video correspond to movements in the music, which was very much intentionally done. I also learned a lot about audio editing so that I could keep certain background noises, like the sounds of their hooves and crunching leaves, but eliminating other noises like feedback from the camera and my sisters voice talking over the video.

I chose to focus on the goats because I love the look on people's faces when they come to visit for the first time and see them running around. We live in the suburbs, and from the street you would never expect that our backyard is home to these barn yard animals. Of course, it also helps that they are dwarfs (the smallest is the same size as my cat) and they beg for attention.
