We are on to our second project called retime nature. We go out and take time lapses and slow motion videos. We are sticking with our theme of poetry and making a 60 second video of nature. There are many ways that nature impacts my life. One way is that I love to hunt and hike, if there was no nature there would be no interesting places to hike and no place for animals to live so i wouldn't be able to hunt anywhere. I go to the beach at least one a week and that is like my safe place. I like to go there when I feel angry or sad because the water cools me down and makes me feel very calm. Certain places in nature has a certain impact on me like Anahola beach is where my Great-Grandma was scattered is where I like to be almost all the time I get to go to the beach.
Time lapses are videos that have are set to take a certain amount of frames every second. Slow-mos are videos that have been slowed down to make everything seem slower. There are different ways to actually create time lapses and slow mos. One way that you can create a time lapse is with your phone. If you have an Iphone there is a time lapse and slow mo feature is you scroll all the options to the left. The other way to create them is taking a normal video with either a camera or phone and uploading it onto your computer. You can use final cut pro's re time editing tool to speed up your clip or slow it down. If you try to create a slow mo with final cut pro it doesn't look as normal as it would on a phone but time lapses come out just fine.
The hardest part of this project was probably catching a really nice sunset because every night for the past few days has like a really pink sky but gray clouds were covering them up. Something else that was hard was creating my poem because I wanted it to be meaningful and make sense. My favorite part about this project was probably filming the sunrises because it make me think of how lucky I am to live in such a beautiful place and get to wake up everyday. Waking up early to shoot the sunrises didn't bother me because I get up at six and the sun actually comes up at around 6:20. I also liked that I got to use Final cut pro because I never got to use it before since we were always using Imovie. I also liked that we could work by our selves first because we get to practice using Final cut pro before working in a team.
Critique Reflection:
I agree with the critiques but the thing I could have done better in is the text layovers. I feel that I could have added colors and different fonts to make it pop and look different. I could have also re filmed some of the shots cause they were a little shaky. Other than that I thought that I did pretty good.
