So for this project, I really wanted to focus on the aspects of video editing and audio editing we have been working on the entire term. As most of you know, I enjoy spooky stuff and never really got to put the two together until this final project. While obviously the true message is to just be thankful for what we have in our lives, I just wanted to add that 90’s creepy Homemade video vibe. This experience for me was fun, anger-inducing, and rewarding in many different ways. Going out and doing the shoots with my family was extremely fun and telling my ‘actors’ what to do made me really feel like the director of my own small movie project. Creating the audio parts for the entire video was a blast as well, knowing full well that most of those scenes don’t have their original audio and also have effects layered on top of them. Now the video editing, oh how fun it is to watch my computer start to freeze up with all the effort going into Premiere pro. This really bugged me at first because I enjoy getting my edits done quick and easy but I’ve now realized that you really do need a lot of time not just to make sure you get your edits just right but also the fact that some computers are working their hardest to make everything look good, sound good, etc. Overall, the long nights of working on the announcer audio parts, and working towards creating something that can make you very grateful for what you have, but also have that simple yet fun creepy side to it was super fun. This final has shown me how much information I have gained over this term and I am happy to show it off. I look forward to more fun adventures like this in the program and getting to use some more creative ideas that spout from my head. Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching. -Alex
