Intro Blog

 Hello Cambridge, My name is Basil Saunders and I'm a senior at Fort Lauderdale high school. The reason I choose to take this class is because, recently, I've enjoyed editing videos with the hopes of entertaining my audience. However, I wish to learn more about the many different styles of editing so that I may someday incorporate it into my content. My hobbies include running and gaming. For four years I have represented my school in cross-country and track. Typically, my favorite event is the 1600m. I strive to meet my goals whether it requires physical or mental strength. Thus, I do everything with a purpose. Gaming helps me slow down mentally while running keeps me strong and resilient. Currently, I'm still indecisive on what I want to major in college. My interest consist of civil engineering, teaching, or becoming an entertainer. My favorite subject in school is science because it seems that newly found discoveries are always being made. My favorite color is green like grass. My astronomical sign is Gemini (two faced). So far I've enjoyed taking this course for the most part but I'm more excited to start recording. I am a proud African American male who hopes for the best in life. I firmly believe in giving honest effort in everything that I do. My plan is to attend UNF with a Cambridge diploma so I may earn a bachelors degree. Above all, my pledge is to make not only myself but my love ones proud. Even if it means I have to work harder than ever.

Editing Blog: 1 minute Dilemma

Image
 Ever since I finished filming, I couldn't wait to start editing my music video. Many ideas ran across my mind about how I should go about this process. Most of my focus was towards what edits can I possibly incorporate into my project that would make it entertaining. This consisted of transitions, filters, effects, and more. To start off, my first move was to position each scene in order to see what it would look like at it's base form. Upon further review I noticed that the video was about a minute and 25 seconds long. In all honesty, I didn't expect it to go that far beyond the time limit, but never the less, I had to fix this problem immediately before I could include anything else. So, after rewatching my video over and over again, I made small cuts throughout each scene. Majority of these cuts were shots that weren't meant to be included. However, other smaller shots were discarded from the project because they made the scene unnecessarily long. Soon enough, I bro...

 First scene- For the opening of my commercial, an athlete/actor will be dressed up in their track uniform. This will show the audience what team this commercial will be about. The actor will proceed to show off the jersey by tugging it from both sides. This should pop the logo in and out to attract the viewers attention. Also, the athlete will give a smug smile to the camera just to show how confident they're towards wearing the jersey. Second scene- The next scene will be another shot of a solo athlete in uniform while wearing medals. They will flex their biceps as a sign of showing their always winning. This will give the audience an idea of how talented Fort Lauderdale's track team really is. And to top it off, the actor will have a boastful expression on their face.  Third scene- The last solo shot will once again be an athlete in uniform. However, they will give a flying L sign towards the camera for representation. I also added a head nod for good measure.  Each of...

Title Research: Guardians of the Galaxy 2

artofthetitles.com 1) In the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 opening scene all of  the main actors of the film are displayed first as chaos plays out. soon after the actors are mentioned, the executive producer, director, writers, and others who worked on the film are displayed throughout the scene. 2&3) We see all the guardians from the previous movie face off against an intergalactic monster to start off the movie. this displays that intense level of action the audience has been waiting for since the first release of guardians of the galaxy. weapons, explosions, and swords are all being used to the creature down but, the guardians are still getting handled in the process. this makes it all the more funny in the process. 4)      Baby Groot, mischievous and distracted in his own world, dances to music from Star-Lord’s second mixtape while the Guardians throw down in the background, out of focus. The focus on Groot instead of the main action is the first comedic thrust ...
