Maria Pineda DTC 201

My final video turned out pretty good, not as good as I would have wanted it to be though, but I think it's okay for being my first video. My video is about this idea of dreaming and waking up from a dream. The video starts with a door opening to see sky and birds, then it moves into different clips of different places, and at the end the door starts closing as flashbacks of the different places previously seen are shown.

The first day I started working with Final Cut Pro to edit my video went pretty well and it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. I managed to favorite all the parts of my different clips that I wanted to use for my final video as well as change the speed of the clip and add tittles. After getting all the clips that I wanted to use, I went ahead and added a song so that the clips would change to the rhythm of the song. And some of the final touches were adding effects and transitions.

I think this was a really interesting project because I have never worked with video nor any video editing software before. The hardest thing for me was deciding what to film and coming up with ideas of what to shoot. So instead of overthinking, I decided to film things that I found to be interesting to me. For example, I filmed the sky for 20 minutes to see the movement of the clouds, I filmed the trees outside my house through my window changing the focus of the camera, I filmed what appeared to be stairs going down into the river, and I filmed more trees and lots of nature clips.
