Very Rough draft – I have been trying to upload my footage.

This is what I was able to make work. I tried throughout the week to use ChatGPT and some other Ai in order to help with my coding of this site. I was wanting to have the videos and the audio be linked and able to be put in any order, letting the user make sound but it untimely didn’t work that way. I was thinking that one of the better ways to make a media play was to make each video and array item based off of the information that was given to me from Ai but was given code that did not function the way I was wanting it to. I also ran into it not giving any examples of code and gave me information that was blatantly wrong. I plan to work on this more outside of class in order to put it on my portfolio.

For my final project I want to do a continuity montage video. For the video I want to depict a number of shots that are tied together by a single theme that paint a bigger picture. I want to use the tips and techniques I have learned while taking this course to help visualize my picture.

I have two ideas that I am working on for my final. For the first idea, I want to go on a small road trip and document the journey while experimenting with cinematic compositions. Taking all of the techniques learned in class and trying to apply them to the video. The style of the video would most likely be montage/continuity.

The second idea would be a small series with one of my friends who is invested in the fitness/gym culture to show the perfect workout split. Each video would represent a single day in the weekly routine. The style would be close to an interview that provides an insightful and engaging experience.

My final project idea will involve a DIY YouTube sewing video that will be about 2 to 3 episodes long. One episode will most likely be about how to put a pattern together (particularly the pattern we will be using in the 2nd episode) and then either make another video on prepping the fabric with the pattern or combine the two into one video. The next video will be putting the fabric pieces together and where to sew to finish the project. One thing I need to think about is a small easy project that I can make in just a few hours – some take DAYS! I also need to think of a beginner-friendly pattern to use so that the video will be easy to follow along. With this project, I will use continuity and montage modules making sure that we are doing an in-order process from the start of the project to the end of the project.

For my final project, I’m going to do a series of 3 youtube videos about car maintenance, car audio, etc. These videos will used continuity, montage, and be video essays. I will use video transitions to go from one topic to another, and I plan to do some video editing/compositing to make the videos more interesting.

For my final project, I’m going to explore making a “found footage” short film. The story is going to be fictional, but I’m going to record myself, relay information, and present it in a non-fictional way that gives the impression that I am actually experiencing these things in my life. The first movies that come to my mind when I think of found footage movies are blair witch project and paranormal activity. Those would be examples.

I want to explore playing with my footage and adding effects to the visuals and the audio to make it seem like these events occurred a long time ago. I have an idea in the works that I will realistically be able to execute, but I need to sort a few more things out. I have the “bones” of the story complete. I just need to sort a few minor things out.

For my final project, I am thinking about doing a video on how to make a spiral tie dye pattern that would have continuity and montage elements for how the video will play out. My idea is to do the process of tie dye with getting the fabric into the correct shape, how to add in the dye for the best results, and how to rinse out the tie dye to make sure the colors stay in and not get ruin. I would explain in some parts of the video why I enjoy doing tie dye. The sound will be a voice over to help keep the instructions consistent. I might use AI to create music for the background to see if I can come up with a fun background soundtrack.

My plan is to make a video essay discussing the way in which my family’s blended cultural heritage leads to a unique celebration of holidays. I’ll be leaving for a religious holiday this week and plan to get as much b-roll for it as I can, and I also hope to incorporate interviews with both of my parents regarding their feelings about culture and holidays, utilizing various elements of film composition that we have learned about thus far. Depending on what I’m able to record for b-roll, I may or may not also turn to AI to fill in the gaps should the need arise.

For my final project, I have two main ideas on what I want to do. My main and first idea depends on if we can use a copyrighted song. I plan to take the Pure Imagination song from the recent Wonka movie and make a sort of cinematic video for it. As the song progresses and becomes more “imagination” I want to try to edit the footage I take with AI and make it surreal. Or like something only in imagination.

My second idea is more so just a sort of cinematic type documentary/essay video. I am still unsure on the exact topic I want to cover but I do have ideas that center around the word “curious.”
