For this assignment (http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/make-a-scene-from-a-horror-film/) I was to create a horror scene. I made a script in preperation (http://kelliwisbauer.com/assignments/making-a-scene-from-a-horror-film-preperation/). For this, my mom played the “Mom” and I played the child, Kelli. My sister Katie taped this video. It was kind of hard to do, but I think we finally got the hang of it. I had to do a lot of editing, but I did it in Pinnacle a movie making program. I then added the sound effects and the credits. I think it actually turned out not so bad, considering I have never used video editing software before. This is worth 4 stars.

 

So this video assignment challenged me to record a letter to my 16 year old self. Basically I just recorded myself telling my 16 year old self thing he needed to know and what was going to happen in the future. Check out what I said to myself!

So that was good! For this movie I used the mac’s built in webcam. I edited several video clips of myself talking together using the software Imovie. I cleaned up the ends and starts of the clips also. I felt good with my results. Imovie has a feature which lets you upload your movie directly to youtube from it. That is a useful software.

So what do you guys think of my video letter. For those of you who knew me when i was 16, do you have anything I should of changed when I was that age? I could’t think of anything.

This assignment was worth 2 stars

So I was challenged by this to make a video review of a product I own. I was either suppose to make a review about a product I use everyday or something I regret buying and was not not worth the money. I choose to do a review about the secound one. So here is the video review about the Kinect!

So what do you guys think? Anyone else have a Kinect and disagree with me? For those of you that are wondering, the Kinect costs $109.99. I got it in a bundle so I technically do not know how much I paid for it. I used a mac webcam to record this video and edited in Imovie software. I basically cut out some parts are the start and end of the video that were not relevant/scene that needed to be retaken. This assignment was worth one star.

Another assignment I am doing this week is http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/play-by-play/

For this assignment I looked online and found a field hockey video of someone scoring a goal in a game. I stumbled upone this YouTube video of a girl scoring a goal in indoor field hockey.

I am just going to write out a little script of this play by play so that I am prepared when actually editing the video.

Script: The white team has a short corner, lets see if they can get a goal off this. She passes to the top, and the girl gets a nice hard push off the ball to the goal… and the keeper saves it. ok, now good steal from the white team and a pass to the top of the circle. She works it around the players, there are some fouls in there, but posession is held. hard pass across the circle, and a shot. GOALLLL

One of the assignments I am choosing to do this week is  http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/make-a-scene-from-a-horror-film/

To help me witht the making of this movie later in the week, I need to prepare a little. First I will think about and layout what the video will be. When I was a kid, I always hated going down to the basement at night when everything was so dark, expecially when I would have to go to the laudry room, and attached to that is even my dads workshop! so, needless to say, at night and in the darkness, going downstairs was, and is always very creepy. That is what I am going to make my scene out of. I plan on having help from my mom.

For the script:

Mom: Hey kelli, can you go downstairs and get something from the freezer?

Kelli: Ok, mom I guess I can *starts to walk* *Thunder* *lights flicker, and then go out completely*

Kelli: MOM?!?

Mom: Yes ? the power just went out, this storm out here is getting pretty bad.

Kelli: But mom, Im scared, can you PLEASE go downstairs with me?!

Mom: No, honey, You can do it on your own!

Kelli: ok…. *walks downstairs very slowly, looking around. goes into laundry room*

*banging around in shop*

Kelli: WHAT WAS THAT?! *opens door very slowly* *woman is standing right there waiting, and says “BOO!”*

*runs up stairs but the lady grabs her leg and she falls*
