Five Things I Learned From Other Videos

Cyberbullying Group Seven(Elissa)


-Something i learned from this video was the importance of music. This video lacked music, which left an unestablished tone for the viewer. It made me realize that an audience can not assumwe what your message is, but they can understand your implications through the power of sound and music. Just adding a simple soft, piano melody would have made this video a lot more effective in portraying it's message.

-Something else I learned from this video is the power of footage. This video simply had images as the video which became very boring and unrealistic. Footage keeps the attention of a viewer, and it also seems very real. Footage lets the viewer envision your messsage and let's the videomaker become personal with their audience.

Cyberbullying Group Five (Cassie)


-This video made me understand the power of firsthand experience. If someone personally tells their encounter, like Rachel Alva who was cyberbullied, it let's the viewer know your video is true and authentic. It also grasps the audience's attention to emotion, and realization that things like cyberbullying actually occur. It creates a sense of empathy.

Cyberbullying Group Three(Estefania)


-I realized though this video that humor can truly add to a video. Although cyberbullying is a serious topic, this group managed to insert comic relief. When Estefania narrates the introduction, it creates a fun tome with the music and her body movement/facial expressions. Another part where humor is effective is when Eddy arrests Cynthia because it is unlikely. I doubt a policeman dressed in regular clothes would arrest a teenager at school and take their phone away.

-Another concept was the input of adults. You used three different teachers (Mr. Parker, Ms. Mott, and Mr. Huerta) and let them explain what they think. Often times, teenagers/students overlook the opinion of adults, but these adults had very valuable, helpful things to say reagrding cyberbullying and sexting.

Insert & Overlay Workshop

Overlay
This is an example of an overlay edit. An overlay edit places a clip on top of a preexisting clip. To do this, you drag your new clip into the timeline on top of the preexisting clip . I decided to overlay the 2nd clip where I did because the place where I overlayed it made the scene a bit more dramatic and the horse was in a different place after the switch of clips. We formatted this video incorrectly; it is supposed to be in 48KHz Widescreen, a simple accident.


Insert

The difference between an overlay and an insert edit is an overlay is when a clip is placed on top of another clip that basically takes away the piece that the clipped was overlayed on. An insert is when you place a clip in between a preexisting clip, so it is similar to a pause
You would use an overlay in sports (football, racing, track,etc.), while you’d use an insert edit when you are trying to create a dramatic effect and pull away from the action at hand (relief). In this case the insert edit works better because the overlay edit is slighty awkward and takes away from the action at hand (horse-back riding). We formatted this video incorrectly; it is supposed to be in 48KHz Widescreen.
