Assignment 14.1

This is the link to my asset folder in my Box account. Both samples are in the folders.

When I first started this assignment, I thought that taking the videos would be quick and easy. In reality, it was a little more time consuming than I had expected. My actual video was almost exactly the way I had planned for it to be in my storyboard, but I had to retake a few videos to make sure that I had the right angles that would create the most suspense. I had some low angles, head-on angles, and some high angles. I originally had problems with inserting my videos. They were inserting as audio, not as a video. With some help, I was able to fix the file types and reinsert them as videos. To create more suspense, I inserted the song “Smooth Criminal” by Michael Jackson.

I had my brother, Avery, view and critique my films. Avery said, “Apart from the cringe-worthy acting, I could feel suspense throughout the video with the way the camera was angled. I was also able to feel relief at the end of the video when she came through the door. The music really helped set the tone of the video, it had a fast beat to it and made my heart race.”
