Fade In, Fade Out



This video is the same as Interview B, except for an added transition fade between the introduction and first question title page.

This interview was mostly uneditted except for a title bar and credits page.

Inrerview B- Lab 2




In this interview, I cut out my questions and embedded text instead.

Preparing for Lab #2: Interviewing Around Campus

I have to admit that I'm a little nervous for the editing we will be doing in Lab #2. You see the thing is I am more of a hands on learner and today in class we learned more through visuals and note taking. I think I might have to go to office hours tomorrow just to run through it with Professor Littau a bit so that I am not completely lost in class on Wednesday.

On another note, I'm curious to see what will we will be interviewing people about on Wednesday. Will it be a specific topic or will we just be able to roll with it like we were able to in lab last week? I kind of hope we get to pick what we want to interview about. I just think it is so much more interesting to see what people in class come up with on their own and hopefully through these various trial interviews we can pick a topic for the project we will be working on over the course of the semester.

First Lab of the Semester!

I know this sounds completely cheesy, but working on the first lab today really got me excited for this class. I know sometimes it is necessary to take a class where most of what you learn is why something works or why something is necessary in the real world. But sometimes I just want to learn HOW to do something, for example how to upload videos and cut clips like we did today in class. I feel like all the tools we will be learning in this class will all be useful and pratical at some point in the future since everything in our society today seems to be completely technology and multimedia oriented.

Today wasn't full of lecture from the teacher and silence from the students like most of the classes I have taken here at Lehigh. It was a highly interactive experience where we all got to use the actual camera and take video on day 2 of class. I am really excited that we jumped right into working instead of just talking about it. I already know how to download a clip, where to find it, and how to post it on youtube. Again, I know this sounds cheesy but I think a lot of us feel the same and I can't wait to see what we will be learning next.
