This is video is a mini day in self-isolation. I wanted to make my video a little more lighthearted while focusing on editing it together and doing a voiceover. My strong suit is taking and editing photos and super short videos for social media and blogs (60 seconds videos that require little editing of the video itself). I took inspiration from the videos we watched in class as well as youtube videos and Instagram tv videos I watch more often. I really focused on making it more like an IG t.v video because that’s the length and effort this video has, just like those. I edited my video on adobe premiere pro, using techniques taught to me through linked in learning video tutorials, as well as some youtube videos. I recorded my voice over on GarageBand because I used it before in a class I took before. I also just find GarageBand simple and easy to use. I had some challenges to overcome due to the situation we are all in, I was in the middle of moving back home for the pandemic when filming this. I also did not have my ring light and tripod that I normally use when taking photos and videos, and it kind of took away a high-quality look that I am used to. I also originally had a different idea for my video, but since I was by myself I really had to adapt and change my idea.

The changes I made for my final video were small but hopefully have a big impact. Firstly I fit my first still image to the entire screen. Then, I sped up some of my b-roll clips to shorten my video down . I didn’t get to add my clip in that I wanted to because it would have made the video much longer than it needed to be as well as cutting the clip down would have made the clip useless to use.Overall I am proud of myself for doing something I would not normally do and I learned a new program. I am satisfied the way my video turned out.

Overall Im okay with the way it turned out, I already have ideas to edit, change, and add for my final video.

Here are my two raw video footages.

For my Audio interview I interviewed a local up and coming artist. The interview was recorded on my IPhone 11 and edited on Adobe Audition. The topic I chose was music and how it impacts fashion industry as well as trends. Which relates to my fashion/lifestyle blog. For my first interview, I spoke to Elijah a Junior at Kent State university, a local up and coming artist. I asked about his journey and how the music industry and all of the artist affect the fashion industry. The second one Is of myself and I made it less interview and more podcast style. I just add on my thoughts from the first interview. This is a rough draft but I am already thinking of ways to improve my final audio interview. Such as a more in depth introduction. Find a different (non-copyright) song, something a little more chill. And ask one-two more questions.I definitely needed to shorten my audio. I can shorten by cutting out the second interview part of the session because it’s not important or needed. Or I can just shorten the second interview which I did.

Here is my first draft of my logo, I didn’t have much to imagine from my sketch because I am not the best artist but I hope after seeing my draft you can see my idea come to life. My logo draft is a silhouette of myself from a photo I took a while back on my iPhone 11. I figured there was no better way to represent a blog that is about myself than with a picture of me. I didn’t do any research for my logo, I just took my initial idea from my sketch and ran with it. I made a few adjustments and tweaks to get my draft. My draft was created on adobe illustrator. I started by tracing my body, then I drew my clothing and hair (freehanded). I debated back and forth on whether or not I wanted to put in all the details. I decided on something a little simpler. With that being said I did not include the details of my face or my clothing, almost to have a somewhat color blocking effect to it. The circle acts as a background/foreground to make the image almost pop. I’m happy with the turnout, but I can also picture what changes I want to make to it to take it for the final logo.

For my new logo , Im looking to keep it simple, sleek and very me . I am not the best at drawing , so here is my rough sketch of possibly my new logo.
