Decision Day

 I didn’t really have an initial impression of Premier Pro after participating in class tutorials because I already have a good amount of experience with it. In middle school, I took a class related to media studies and I would use Premiere Pro to edit the daily news, so I already know most of the main components of it I'm just a little rusty. InDesign, on the other hand, I was impressed with. I think InDesign is a really good program for editing graphics and pictures.

 InDesign is perfect for the magazine portfolio and for adding your own touch to the picture. I'm still leaning towards the movie portfolio project because InDesign didn’t really show me anything that made me want to choose the magazine as my project. I think that I will be the most efficient and have the most fun editing my movie in Premiere Pro as I seem the gravitate to the film part more than anything. I think with Premiere Pro and other things I've learned in class I can do a pretty good job at getting my perspective across the board. Also, all of the different tools that Premiere Pro has with the audio and visual effects can be used to make a very visually pleasing video and I already have some experience with this effect which is also a plus. 

In Wayne Cherry’s article, he talks about the importance of adults telling stories because of their experience and perspective and how they can shape the way students think. Even though I'm not an adult with a lot of experience I think that I can tell a story from my perspective with the help of a short movie. I think that with the four C’s: critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity, I can make a very interesting movie. 

I'm not the most creative person but with the help of my group and my editing skills, our portfolio project won't disappoint. As of right now, I don’t have any ideas as to what I want my movie to be about or what ideas I want it to convey but I do know that once I set my mind to the project this finished product will be absolutely stunning.

To Team or Not to Team

My initial thought was to work by myself on the portfolio project mainly because I like working alone and I don’t like people te lling me that my ideas are wrong. After some thought, I then realized that if I wanted to do the movie  project,  I would need someone that has that creative side to them because I  definitely  lack  in that area.  So,  I chose my friend  Juli  as my partner because we’ve been friends since ninth grade, and I know that she has that creative side to her.    When  doing the social media activity in class I looked at  Juli’s  Instagram  and Snapchat  accounts. Her feed also shows her creative side by using clever captions and having unique outfits.  Her purpose just seemed to spread positivity and  share the good moments in her  life. Her posts  are consistent throughout both social media platforms. The only thing I derived fro m her posts was that she likes the ou...

Creativity & Genre

  I think  creativity is very important when trying something new. It  happens to be one of the main reasons why I chose  Juli  as my partner because she has that creative side to her that I don’t necessarily excel in.  In the Ted Talk, we watched in  class;  Duncan Wardle  talks about how work can  suppress  your creativity because it doesn’t allow you to  be creative because we think that we don’t have time to think. I can agree with this statement bec ause I also have never had my best thoughts at work. Wardle then goes on to use a drawing of a house as an  example of how limited our minds are to what we are told a house should look like. I can admit that I drew the basic house that he predicted everyone would draw  a n d this exercise made me start to think more deeply about what Wardle had to say.    In the new  introduction   activity,  we did in class I  chose shoes as my subject....
