Adobe Session 1

During this session we were taught how to create a flippable zine. I found this task very easy and simple, while also being extremely beneficial, since this is the format we will be using in order to create our digital zine. I think my plan is to do my layouts in inDesign and then upload it to the program used to make the zine flip able. I think this will be the best way for me to go about this, so that I can easily experiment with my layouts. Overall I felt that this session went extremely well and I am excited to see how my finished zine will look in a flipable format.

Studio Sessions

Session 6

In this session we were briefed on what we should have done at this point and then had the rest of the session to work on stuff we needed to do. While I do love sessions like these because they give me time in class to do my work, sometimes I can struggle to totally focus on my work in class because I distract myself with my classmates. That is something I am working on. I also enjoy sessions like these because they allow me to get my peers opinions on my work if I am struggling to decide between somethings. I am proud of myself this term for not procrastinating as much, which is something I have been working on, so it feels nice to see improvement in that aspect.

During this session I primarily worked on editing my video. I started editing in iMovie even though I know we are supposed to use premier, because I just do not understand premier at all, however we do have a session with Sing coming up, so I can ask questions and learn during that. Overall I would say this session was pretty successful and I am happy with how it went.

Studio Sessions

Session 5

During this session we discussed the short film we have to make for our final project. We then worked in pairs in order to experiment and create our own short film. I worked with Harrison and had lots of fun. I was very grateful for this session because it allowed me to get a little more practice working on films. I ran into some struggles during class since I was not used to the software we were using. I know with more practice and asking questions in Sing’s class I will get better, it will just take time and practice. I think this was an overall super beneficial for me because now I know what questions I need to ask in Sing’s class, so that I can understand the software better.

For the SDS I started putting together my short film. So far it is going pretty well, however I think I could work on my editing/ transitions a little more. I still need more videos, which I will get in my next few shoots, however so far I think it is looking really good. I think between each clip I want to include photos of the sexist advertisements since that ties into my PR idea. I am going to try this once I get all my clips and hope it looks good.
