Evaluation

In this post I will be demonstrating how I made my documents for my evaluation, used the software and tech at my disposal as well as what I have learned while making these projects and how I feel about my final product.

Green screen Video
First I recorded a video of me, answering my question, in front of a green screen, on my phone and later emailed the video to my school computer then I edited things into the green screen behind me depending on what I said




Lip Sync Video
First I recorded audio from my phone, of me answering the question, then I placed an image of a cartoon character (Stitch) into Sony Vegas. then I created two different mouths for stitch, one open and one closed, then I would place an open mouth on stitch whenever audio was there and a closed mouth when nothing was being said (and in between words)












Slide Show
Here I created different slides of the answer to my question in Photoshop and then put them into Sony Vegas

Cartoon
This cartoon I made in Sony Vegas and Revelation Natural Art. In revelation you create each frame individually, then time them to be slow or still at points and fast at others. for example the video would remain still while I was talking and it would continue while I was silent. I saved the cartoon as  Gif, then imported it into Sony Vegas where I added my audio in afterwards. I rendered both the Gif and audio then my cartoon was complete.

Audio Log
I did my final question as an audio file, I created this using Sound Recorder, I improvised most of my audio since I felt like I should convey honesty rather than a scripted monologue to end my Evaluation.



Split Video
This Video was by far the hardest to make, due to technical difficulties. Firstly I recorded two separate videos both asking and answering my question, then we had to import them into Sony Vegas. However this didn't work at first since the file format these videos were in wouldn't upload to Vegas, therefor I had to wait weeks before the video could be fixed.  Then I placed both videos in to overlap one another then altered the brightness and transparency to make them both viable. Unfortunately because I was pressured for time I was unable to make the videos clearer, they both have a faded/transparent tint to them but I find it acceptable due to the circumstances.
