My Introduction

This is obviously not a video clip including myself. However, my video was not working, and I had to edit a video clip of my partner instead.

Reflections on Project 1

1. The final product for this project in my opinion turned out very well, except for the fact that I had to edit someone else's video. I was hoping to edit my own, but when I went in to look for it, it was not working. I think that this final product was a testament to knowing how to use the controls in the Premiere Pro editing program. I feel like now, I look at this program, and know exactly what to do, in order to get my desired result. I want to learn more about how to enhance the aesthetics of these videos

2. My partner, Cesar and I worked really well together in my opinion. We helped each other to memorize the next couple of steps in order to work more efficiently, and we pointed the other person in the right direction if one of us made a mistake. The power point tutorial that Dr.A provided for us was extremely helpful in my opinion, and kept me from getting stressed out. As I mentioned before I was unable to edit my actual video, because it was not working that day, and that was something that really disappoints me.

Patience

This video shows that we must be patient with others, give them time to work up to their potentihe al, and if they make a mistake don't degrade them. This video conveys the message through a young boy, who trapses through the wet cement his grandfather has just poured, and even though his grandfather will have to start over he still smiles, and doesn't blame the boy who likely doesn't know better. The video is shot at the level of a child, which signifies how prevalent patience is when dealing with children. The video is set in a warm environement, and the grandfather appears to be tired, and uncomfortable, but then his demeanor changes to a more positive one.

Our Group's Discussion about Values.com

Our group likes "The Purse," the best. This video not only had good moral values, but it had entertaining aesthetic values as well. This video seemed realistic with its urban sprawl setting, and it also had a positive message about not buying into stereotypes, and to always do the right thing. We also loved the music in this commercial, because it is positive, relevant, and upbeat.
