Bleh

     Oh man, what a dreary week. Its rained almost every day. Don't get me wrong, I like rain, but it makes me lethargic. Last week I finished my Senior Video, but I haven't been able to transfer it to disk. I have tried unsucessfully to send the video as a file. Still, it is finished and I am happy about that! Next week I should have a meeting with my mentor. Things are looking up.

Yay

      Another week has gone by in Senior Project. This week I was actually productive. I have a rough cut of my Senior Project Video. I filmed a bunch of Seniors at Senior Retreat; they discussed their projects. I took all the clips and seamed them into one video. I also adjusted the audio on each clip by removing hissing and background sounds. Sometimes, I manipulated the audio to produce a clearer voice. On the visual side of things, I adjusted contrast, saturation, brightness, and color to optimize viewing experience. The video is 20mins, so I wont post it today, clips may be coming.

Back

This week I did something extremely difficult for Senior Project- I made a timeline. I usually shy away from such tasks because I love to procrastinate.  
February is chalk full of meetings and editing. Today I have a meeting with Mr. Hinds to finalize my plans. Also, I will be meeting with Ms. Reeves ASAP to discuss filming a third grade literary device video!

Overall I am very excited about this month
