April 24th Reflection

This morning I ran into Cole Johnson while walking through the cafe to Mrs. Walters room (where we have been working). I talked to him a bit about our video and told him we were in the final stages of editing. He offered to help out and I gladly accepted. He immediately made some small but influential changes to the project. For example, he was able to edit the interview footage of ourselves that we have to make the colors much brighter. It still looks very natural, but when you put the new footage next to the old footage the older one looks pretty gray. He also helped us make the image stabilization look better, and added a few transitions. During period 6 we showed the video to Mr. Silverman. He made us realize that we have a few places we could "trim fat", meaning we could cut out places where we have too long of a pause, a breath, etc. He also suggested that we add music at certain parts and gave us some possible choices. We lost track of time and worked all the way through lunch! Ben and I also created a "Google Earth Flyover" to put in our video. It shows the entire length of our trip. We made another one that was very detailed that we may show during assembly. We didnt finish in the two hours after school, so we well have to come in on saturday.
