Editing Passes

The following are the six main passes made while editing a final project:


  1. Construct the primary audio narrative: Insert sound bites, narration, and voiceover from the start to the end of the timeline.  
  2. Insert B-Roll and natural sound: Now that the primary audio is there, you can start at the beginning of the timeline and add B-Roll and natural sound.  
  3. Insert titles and graphics: Next you can insert lower-thirds and graphics.  
  4. Add sound effects and music: Now that the basic structure is complete, sound effects and music can be added.  If you're constructing a music video, the song must be added earlier so that the beat of the song can be used for timing of the video clips.
  5. Add transitions and effects: Once all of the clips have been added into the timeline and in their proper locations, you can begin adding transitions and effects.    
  6. Finishing touches: The final step is to adjust the placement of the clips and the timing of transitions, titles, and effects.  Sometimes color correction to video clips or tweaking audio clips is necessary.

Wireframe For Website

The new bakery in town, "Main Street Sweets," has commissioned me to design its online presence.  Its mission is to be a homey and comfortable spot for teenagers or adults to hang out at or bring homework or work to.  They also have an event room to host birthday parties, small groups, study groups or other events of that type.  The main purpose of their website is simply to display their goods and the atmosphere of the place. Along with the above homepage, I also created menu, events, and about pages. The menu is essential because it displays to potential customers their food options at Main Street Sweets and also assists with online orders. Because Main Street Sweets contains a private events room, they have a webpage to display what it looks like and give people an idea of what their event could look like.  The text on this page describes the space, what type of events are held there, and also convinces the reader to hold their next event there. ...

Usability

Usability       Usability measures how well a person can experience an interface.  This includes organization and having the necessary help menus.  Usability is essential to a persons experience simply because if a website or system is unusable, then the consumers will be unable to use it, which makes the website or system rather pointless, ineffective, and useless. Learnability Learnability determines how quickly a user can perform simple things on the interface during their first experience with it.  This ®refers to when the design is predictable and consistent throughout the website.   Efficiency  Efficiency encompasses how rapidly a user performs tasks on an interface after they have learned.  While this may sound ridiculously similar to learnability, it differs in that learnability refers to a user's original interactions with the interface while efficiency is about the effort required throughout multiple visits to the interfa...

Photography Questions

1.  What is meant by White Balancing a camera? Because light appears as different colors, White Balancing a camera is essential to make your photos the correct color.  White Balancing a camera makes it add the opposite color to the image to make the color temperature neutral.  When the White Balance is off, whites appear to be blue or orange.   2. What is considered the "golden hour"? Golden hour refers to the time just after sunrise or just before sunset.  It isn't actually 60 minutes, as the length depends on where you are, what time of year it is, and the weather conditions.  The light at these times appears magical.  Why is this?  Well, the light at this time is in the yellow range of the light spectrum.  It also has to travel through more atmosphere than when the sun is at different points in the sky, so the light is softened and reduced.   3.  What is the color temperature of daylight, and what is its general hue?
