Hobby Video #1

While making this Hobby Video we learned about the 6 Shot System. The 6 Shot System is made up of six different angles that you can film from. The shots are:

extra close up: shows only a single thing in the shot like hands typing on a keyboard close up: would just be of someone’s face

over the shoulder: shows what the person is doing

medium shot: shows the person from the hips up

wide shot: shows what the person is doing but not the entire scene

extra wide shot: lets you see the entire scene

I learned out to shoot the camera from different angles and also how to create a storyboard and follow it. I learned more about how to use the tools in Final Cut Pro like the blade tool and detaching the audio. Next time I do a project like this I would take even more footage so that when I upload it into final cut pro I have more options.  

Highlight Video

For our first project in video, we were assigned to create a highlight video of a hobby or interest that we have. I chose to create mine based on mission trips. While using Final Cut Pro for the first time I learned how to import video clips, start and pause my video using the space bar and also how to add them to my favorites by hitting the 'f' key. I also learned how to drag the video clips into my timeline, detach the audio and add music and transitions. I chose to base my video on mission trips because they are something that makes me smile, and also because I will be leaving on March 15^th to travel to Belize for mission work. I love being able to help those who weren’t born in a first world country and who aren’t as fortunate as the people who live in the United States.
