YNA week 2

1.What were you goals for this week?

My goals this week was to sign out equipment and film the interview for BPA. Another goal was also editing some of the abstract photos over break

2.What did you achieve this week in terms of your goals

I achieved all my goals this week. I signed out a camera, tascam and boom mic. I went over to my friends house yesterday and filmed the interview video for bpa. I also edited some of the abstract pictures on photoshop and posted them. I also started roughly planning out some ideas i have for my youtube channel, a personal video project thing with different series and stuff this week, which i thought i wouldn’t be doing or planning out for a while, but i wrote down all my ideas i have for it in my sketchbook.

3.What problems did you have?

A problem I had was yesterday trying to figure out how to use all the equipment, I never used a tascam or boom mic before and no one really showed my how to do it so I tried to figure it out on my own. I was trying to figure out what chord/wire to use to to connect the tascam to the camera, till i finally realized that you dont connect it with a wire. Once i figured that out i still never ended up to get it actually working. Another problem I had was just editing the abstract photography pictures, I wanted to make her look like her skin was made of tree bark and i couldn’t figure out how to make it realistic or look good.

4.How did you fix these problems?

I fixed the tascam problem by texting my group and asking them, as well as watching some videos and just using common sense, even though in the end i didn’t get it to work I still learned a lot and fixed some of the problems I was having. I fixed the photography pictures by switching my idea a bit, instead of making her have tree skin i made it look like she has leaf skin, and instead of using the smudge tool I used the clone stamp tool and lowered the opacity.

5.What’re your plans for next week?

Next Monday or just sometime next week I want to re shoot the interview because the audio didn’t turn out good and I didn’t get all the footage I wanted. I also want to maybe shoot more pictures this weekend so I can edit them next week during the week, if not then i’ll just edit the pictures I already have. Next week I also want to plan out more of the video project idea i’m doing. I also want to watch some tutorials for illustrator so I can get better at it snd learn some new teqniques and stuff. Next week i’m probably also going to look over the review guide and study for the midterm.

6. What project(s) did you work on this week?

This week I worked on BPA, I also worked on the abstract photography pictures I took over break by editing them. The other project I worked on was brainstorming, planning and writing my personal video project ideas.

7. Post visual proof of the projects you were working on this week

I also filmed the video but since its un edited, super long and not really good I don’t want to post it, its not my best work. I also have a lot of things written out in my sketchbook but since its my personal video project I don’t want to really post a picture of it but I can let you come glance at my sketchbook if you need proof still.
