How to approach a video story in the best way.

• Sequences compress time in a video story.
  (without compression your video will be long and boring)
  

• Use proper sequencing by using a variety of wide, medium and tight shots.
  

• Consider taking 3 second shots of one thing and sequencing them all together rather than showing all the action in real time.
  

• Remember to shoot a variety of shots
  (you can never have too much to edit from)

Edited contouring picture.

This is my edited version of one of the pictures of out recent pictures.
We worked on contouring and each created a square and put them together at the end.
I edited the brightness and contrast on this picture to make it look nicer than the original picture. I also cropped it so you couldn't see the background.

Exit sign project.

For this project three people were put into a group. We each had to take different shots of an exit sign from several angles and distances. Once we put the shots together, we organized them into a video with a couple seconds for each shot. Then we added an effect to the video which gave the exit sign a glowing effect. We used a song called 'You Had Me At Hello'.
