Learning Journal 6

This week I have learned various video editing techniques including sequences, lower thirds, and animating titles or stills. Understanding how to edit clips and label them to be very organized when editing. The most important thing we learned this week was the idea that the first clip that is used is the one that sets the resolution for the rest of the video. With this information we learned how to help the other clips fit the scaling or setting the frame size of the video. 
We also got into creating a lower third. This was interesting because it created a very sleek effect that makes a video look very professional. These are the small title boxes that are used a lot in interviews to identify the subject as well as their title. I am planning to actually add this aspect to audition videos to help add something extra that will make me stand out. 
We also learned about making animated titles or stills. This is cool to add with clips to make them interesting and make a story more interactive and keep an audience's attention.

These skills come with a lot of practice. I am just beginning but the more and more I try new things I think I can develop these editing skills and make some really cool projects.

What I Have Learned when Editing These Last Two Weeks

Over the past two weeks I have been really doing some crash course learning with Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Pro. Last week we went through various Photoshop techniques including: Composites Watermarks Animation/Effects And Creating Slideshows Our class has also begun getting hands on with Premiere Pro. Understanding how to edit clips together with concepts like the Rule of 180 and organizing A roll and B roll. We are also going through many of the various shortcuts in this program. We have been going through the concepts very quickly but it is cool to understand the basic editing techniques to at least make a sequence. We are going into this next week getting more in depth with the tools of Premiere Pro. I am also excited about how to make other special effects and edits. I already have some experience with Final Cut Pro which has helped me through this week. And I am really excited to learn more this week.

Welcome to My Blog

Hello I’m Audrey Gniech and welcome to my blog. I am from Illinois and I am currently completing my third year at Western Illinois University. I am a double major in Theatre for Performance and Broadcasting and Journalism in Production. My goal after I complete my degree is to pursue a career in acting and directing for theatre. I find that my broadcasting knowledge will also be very helpful in me reaching these goals. My interests in production for broadcasting and journalism are more in the film and audio editing region but I have been finding more and more how the writing and multimedia classes are teaching me valuable lessons for success. I have learned more about communicating information in a clear effective manner which is very important for a director to do as well. Also with some class experience in the studio it reminds me a lot of how organization and time management play a pivotal role in creating a great show and to grow these skills are important to be successful in any ...

Photoshop Skills and Dramaturgy Post #4

I have recently begun to refine and learn new skills in Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop skills are something that I find will be very helpful with my career in theatre. Having creative technical skills are important with  website design audition/reel video editing editing head shots  and so much more Currently I am assistant directing and dramaturging a production of Richard II. I have used the skills I am using in photoshop to create documents and display items to display for both rehearsal purposes and audiences. I just created a poster display that is a family tree of the play which includes both headshots, armorials and other imagery. Creating an aesthetically pleasing and informative display piece was even more effective with the tools of photoshop. I am planning to make even more display pictures to help promote the show and describe the play. Specifically, we are bringing this classic Shakespeare play and giving it a modern twist with themes of haute coutur...
