Final Presentation

Description of the overall goals of the project 
 - Video editing
- Learn to overlap pictures, songs and videos.
- A video that seems very professional. 
- How to enhance videos and work with them in different ways
- Special effects on the video

Description of the process of completing the project
- The first day of the project we didn't really know what we were going to do. We were in between Photoshop and video editing. We obviously went with video editing. After we came up with what we were going to do, we had another problem. Which song were we going to do it with? After a lot of time of thinking we decided we were going to do it with "I Knew You Were Trouble" by Taylor Swift. Every five classes we worked on the project. Most of the work was reaching our goals for the day. After 4 classes, we finished the written part. We started working on the video. We got together about 3 times and every time, recorded. After we had recorded every part of the song, we started working on the effects and putting the song together with our lip singing. We had a lot of problems with the effects because we weren't being able to put them in the video. Obviously we weren't only working on the video special effects like changing the color of the video. We were also working on overlapping videos and pictures, having some parts with green screen, and cloning ourselves. It was very difficult to do that but we were able to finish it. Now we are ready to present it for next class!

Examples of "epic fails" along the way (places where you failed and learned from it)
- When we were recording and the other started laughing. We learned we couldn't look at the other person's eyes, or we'd start laughing.
- When we couldn't put the special effects in the video, we realized the video was already finalized so we couldn't edit it. We had to have permission to start editing it again. We learned that you save the video but don't finalize it or else we weren't going to be able to edit it.
- When we were doing green screen the image was very pix elated. We just had to have a picture with better resolution.

Examples of the work in progress (show us how you got to the final product...your steps or how you improved) 

- Every scene was better than the last one.
- We improved in some different ways, like "acting", getting used to put the effects faster, and filming faster because we didn't even have much time.
- We were able to progress pretty quickly, since we had the instructions on our blogs, of how to put the effects.


List of tools you found helpful and descriptions of how they helped you 
- Links for making special effects because it gave you every step clearly, and we were able to understand everything.
- Links for overlapping pictures and for cloning,. Like we said before everything was easy and clear to understand.
- When we saw the second video of green screen it was very useful because it didn't have a professional green screen. It showed us how to make one wight paper masking tape and a wall. It also showed us how to insert the image/videos so that it would look real.

List of tools that you felt were useless or not helpful and why you don't recommend them 
- The link for helping us manipulate text on imovie. We learned about it but it was very difficult to understand. It had a lot of technological words we didn't even know existed. It could have been a lot more brief. It took like 15 minutes to say "put words in the little box."
- The first video we saw about green screen said we had to have a professional green screen to be able to work with it, so it was useless because we don't have one.

Final presentation of your project with web 2.0 tool
