For this assignment I was asked to take footage of my family or my block or my neighborhood or just anything I like to do favorite sport , Deli , Restaurant , something that represented me and what I love . after taking footage I would upload my videos onto iMovie and edit , or crop or add effects and sounds to it . at the end of this process i would end up with what looks like a short film . For my assignment I just used MY BLOCK for examples and iMovie to do my video . for my video what I did was :
1. Got footage of my household
2. Took photos of my house , where I live , train and stop , and my school
3. Recorded the deli down the block from me because its my favorite deli and the people there are like family .
4. I placed all my photos and videos into iMovie and edited added music and put effects on my photos to make it better
5. Then when I played it , it became a short film and was really nice
The purpose of this task was to express who we are and share with others , and have fun pretending to be directors . It was a good experience .
My video is about MY LIFE . or at least that's what I named it , its really about my after school life starting from me getting out of school going to the train station at Morris park and then going to my house on Baychester and then what its like when I walk in the house and the fact that I'm sent to the store almost everyday and there I see my second family/friends . I chose this subject because its about me you can get a good glimpse of who I am by what I recorded . you can tell that I'm very loved and I have people who I'm close to and that I'm a great person . Its important to me because i want people to know what kind of person I am and who i am and how the people around me are . I want people to have an insight into my lifestyle , I mean isn't that what MY BLOCK is about .. Other people I would recommend to do this as well because then they too can express and relate to others and share who they are . maybe someone might see it and they can get recognized if it happens to be a video of someone playing a sport .
My video can make a social change because in a way your meeting new people , getting to know new people . who knows ? maybe someone lives right by you and you watch their video and share common interests and maybe you can even meet if you just happen to see them and become great friends . MY BLOCK isn't just a way to geographically map out new york city you can also meet new people . By watching the videos on MY BLOCK you know what the video will be about .
For this project I found editing and finishing the video to be fun because I can see how it all plays out and looks and how much effort I put into making the video also for the poster I loved as well to design it I felt like a movie director and I just directed a movie an was designing my own movie cover and it was just a fun and interesting assignment . I didn't have any trouble or find anything hard with the project . I liked it too much to take any thing as a challenge . If I had more time to work on this project I would make the video longer and more better than I did . This project was relevant to my personal life because I have some type of experience with making films and making posters . To improve this project you can take your time but not too much and put all your energy and thoughts and creativity into one video slide and make sure when your done its to your standards . Make sure you did it to the best of your ability push yourself and just hope for an amazing outcome ..
