The Assignment

For What I eat in a Day I had to simply record what I ate that day. I’m not entirely pleased with how this assignment turned out to be honest. Didn’t realize I was holding my camera in different ways until the end and I feel as if I could have somehow got more exciting shots of my food. Also, it felt a little weird having to remember to record my food before I could chow down.

It was worth 5 stars.

How I made it

To start with I recorded my food with my phone. I then uploaded all the shots to OpenShot. I placed them in the correct order and went to Pixabay to find some music. The music was too long so I used SoundTrap to edit it. I then exported my SoundTrap work and placed it in OpenShot under my videos. Finally, in OpenShot I created a title to give credit to Pixabay and to all the places where I gathered my food.

So I wanted to re-do the What I Eat In a Day video that I made last week, and it was based on this assignment from the assignment bank. I got a comment on my original post with some suggestions, which I really appreciate!! So I wanted to take those suggestions and make a better video for this week.

I was not happy with the What I Eat In a Day video I made last week, so I gave it another try. I used iMovie for this one and played around more with the features. I really liked how I used the titles in this video and how they show what I ate. I really liked the free music I found for this, and realized it would’ve been better without me doing a voiceover. I liked doing the titles instead of me talking over the music. Sometimes when I watch videos, music, footage, and voice overs can be too much all at once. I also flipped the videos horizontally, which I didn’t do last time, to make sure they fit the video screen better. I also did an opening title for the video. Overall, I am a lot prouder of this video than I was of the one from last week. And editing this made me hungry.

For this video, I filmed clips of my breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a day. Rater than filming myself eating I captured how I made my breakfast and dinner and how I prepared my dinner, which was take-out sushi.

I tried really hard to take very short clips that catch some of the cooler sounds associated with meal prep. My breakfast and lunch, cereal and ramen, were fast meal that I made in the same bowl-don’t worry, I washed it in between-and my dinner was pre-maid, but I was much more comfortable with this than with filming myself. As someone who falls asleep to ASMR a few nights a week, I tried to incorporate some of the sounds I really enjoy.

For this assignment I got inspiration from Cece’s video! I always see these videos on TikTok, so I also made mine on there too (it only seemed fitting). I started by just recording the videos on my regular camera then importing them into TikTok. I used all of the TikTok features like the sound, text, and speech text. It was super easy, but I still had a lot of fun!

This assignment was 5 stars

***** five stars

For this assignment, I had to make a video of everything I ate in a day! This video is actually from last semester that I had never finished! I decided to redo it and add captions and some nice music! I also used TikTok for this assignment and posted it (privately) to my account! Enjoy

Today I took you along with me to my kitchen, and shared with you what I ate. I need to go to the grocery store, so my pantry is a little bare at the moment. That meant that I was limited to eating whatever I had on hand today. For breakfast, a smoothie made with plain yogurt, protein powder, strawberries and blueberries. Lunch was scrambled eggs with onion, green peppers, cheese, and hot sauce! I then had a small snack of some rosemary and sea salt crackers and sliced cheese, and later on I made myself an early afternoon dinner of a turkey and cheese sandwich that I toasted in the air fryer and had with two clementine oranges for dessert.

To create this video, I used my iPhone and recorded multiple videos of what I ate throughout the day. I then used iMovie to add them all together and also edit. I sped up the prep work, and also added some music that I got from the iMovie soundtracks.

For this assignment, I recorded everything I ate in a day. This was interesting because I never really think of all of the things I eat in a day collectively. I decided to make it a TikTok because I see videos like this all the time on TikTok.

I recorded little clips as my day went on. When it was all finished, I added the text and the music. Then, I posted it on TikTok. It didn’t take much thought because I just went about my day and ate what I wanted to eat.
