What I did the week of 2-23-09

This week I finished working on video I was doing on Premier. It is kind of a stupid video, but it was useful for just getting used to all of the different tools on premier. This week I brought in my video camera which stores the videos on its very own hard-drive. I imported all of my wrestling videos from the camera into a folder I named, "wrestling videos." Now that they are all in a folder, I won't have to bring in my camera everyday, which is very convenient. I then began to cut the wrestling clips so I have the clips that I would like to go on my highlight video. Now all the pieces are in place, and next week I will begin to do some serious work on my highlight video.

This week, I will be working as hard as I can to get things done, but I have got my eyes on the section tournament on Friday. I am going to get serious about getting my video camera in here and importing my wrestling matches from the year. That will be a pretty serious project, so let's let that be my week-long project. I also plan on commenting on two seperate peoples' blogs. So don't you worry about, people hangin' around.

What I did the week of 2-17-09

This week was short, as we all know, so it did not allow me to get as much done as I would have liked. But I did get a decent amount done with the time that I was given. On Tuesday, I worked on the video I started last week. The Dan-man and I were able to put our efforts together and master the use of transitions. I added several transitions to the video, which really cleaned it up nicely and made it look very professional. Wednesday consisted of learning how to use video effects by reading the "help" portion of Adobe Premier. Now it is Thursday, and I am typing this very blog.

What I am going to do the week of 2-17-09

This week is only a 3-day week, which is great from a "fun" point of view, but will make it more difficult to get things done in the classroom. This week I have the following goals:

Tuesday: Write this post, add video effects to the video I created last week, comment on two other people's blogs.

Wednesday: Bring in the wrestling film from my Tuesday Wrestling match and cut scenes that will be appropriate for my final project.

Thursday: I will blog about what I have accomplished during the week, begin cutting scenes from prior wrestling footage, and finalize the video I worked on last week.

What I did the week of 2-9-09

This week I accomplished plenty. I worked on many of the finepoints of Adobe Premier, but my biggest accomplishment of the week was compiling my very own video. I used videos, images, and sounds from the disc Premier provided, and imported them into the program. Once I had imported them safely, I placed video clips into the "storyboard." I chose the videos that made me laugh, and made the most sense for the theme of my video. Although my ultimate goal is to make a highlight video, and my video this week is by no means a highlight video, I did learn the basic concepts of using Adobe Premier to make a video. Once I had the video clips in place, I selected a song that added humor to my video. I also inserted transitions between the video clips to add a cool effect. I thought my video creation went very well, the only thing that didn't go well was when I was first experimenting with the transitions, I could not get them to work right away. But after a while, I figured it out and it was smooth sailing from there.

Plans for week of 2-9-09

Today school was two hours late, which was a very nice treat for a Monday morning. This week will be another week used for learning some of the many features and effects that Adobe Premier has to offer. I made leaps and bounds last week, and this week I will only be able to further my knowledge in the use of Premier. It will also be only a matter of time until I am able to bring in my video camera and start importing some of my own videos, rather than just using the videos supplied by the disc that came with the software. Our wrestling match was cancelled tonight due to the ice situation.

What I did the week of 2-2-09

In this wonderous week of "Groundhog's Day," not only did we find out that we have 6 weeks left of winter, but I made leaps and bounds on my journey to master the "Adobe Premier" program. Using the disc that was provided by the instruction book, I imported some videos, audio bits, and pictures. I then experimented with the Premier, and learned to add some effects to the videos, and put multiple videos into the storyboard. I also learned to add audio to my video. Overall I would describe this week as a week where I got the ball rolling.

Plans for week of 2-2-09

This week I plan on getting familiar with the program, "Adobe Premier 6.5." I will try and figure out all the basic tools and things, and once I get to that point, I will bring in my video camera and attempt to import my videos. Once I have successfully imported my videos onto Premier, I will dabble with certain effects, and start getting familiar with basic video-editing. I will also begin going through the workbook, and learn some things that way.
