Posting a Blog Entry

So last weekend I went to a wedding in Chicago. Unlike my brother's Barmitzvah, they had a hired photographer taking pictures of the event. I now see how tiring it is to be a photographer! He was running around crazily throughout the night making sure he captured every single moment. I saw him at the end of the night standing behind the stage completely worn out. I give photographers a lot of credit and I respect them greatly! I can't wait to see how his photos turn out.

Critique another classmate's music video

I wanted to comment on richard's Music video. I love the different camera shots he took when filming the video, it makes it seem like when he is practicing for his next competition that he has all of these audience members. I also enjoyed how he added in the flash back to when he was actually competing. The only criticism I personally have is that I didn't understand right away that he was working to get better because he had lost the competition. I at first thought he was practicing to compete for the first time and when he was visualizing the competition it hadn't happened yet. So the only advice I'd have since you always have to consider all of your audience, even the dumb ones like me (lol) is have it more evident that it was a past event and not a future one. Other than that it looks like he took a lot of time to put it together and it shows in the work!

Blog entry from last week- May 1st

So last weekend was my brother's bar mitzvah. It was fun and yet very emotional. I decided to take on the task of being the photographer at the event, which I have now realized is very exhausting I give those who do it for a living a lot of credit! After compiling all of my photos along with others donations I was able to start to work on my final for this class. I took each and every photo that I thought was good enough to keep and photoshopped them. I then began the challenge of placing them together to create a mantage. I'm still working hard on it today and have realized that not being familiar with iMovie only makes it that much harder to create a masterpiece. This may take me weeks to perfect!
