Wet Cement

Reflection
The message of this video is to have patience, especially with children. The actions that communicate this are the expressions on the characters' faces and the body language portrayed between the two. To help communicate this message of patience, the filmmkaer included certain camera angles, darker lighting when focused on the older man as opposed to the lighter on the little boy.

Introduction

Jessica Hernandez's video introduction to the class, edited by Alexis Miranda, and myself.

Reflection
For editing a video for the first time, I think Alexis and I did a pretty decent job. It's obviously not Academy Award winning, but we got the job done and I think it turned out well. I think we stopped the ending a little too quickly, because it looks like Jessica is about to say something else after "Papa Murphy's." But, that could just be my OCD kicking in. I would like to learn more editing skills with the program, like blurring the video, zooming in and out (if possible), and how to change from color to black and white.

Alexis and I had a bit of trouble editing the video in the beginning, and
I was a little frustrated with not being able to understand what was going on with all the windows that were opened. Eventually, though, we figured out what we were doing right & wrong, and we worked together to complete the final product, which turned out good, if I may say so. I look forward to working on editing videos & filming with Alexis in the future.
