Day 10

Today in Media Arts, I decided to help another friend on a different class project. Since I didn't have time over the weekend to record my voice-over for the video, I had to think of something else to do today. Since his project was a video, I was able to use Adobe Premiere to edit it together. I got practice using the cut tool, speeding different parts of the video up, and even adding in text. I feel like this video was a good warm-up to what I will soon be editing.

Over the weekend, I beat world 3 in LBP, but that's about all that I was able to do. After school, I'm going to do the best I can at recording as much of the voice-over as I can then tomorrow, I'll edit some of the video together and play world 4.

Day 9

Yesterday, I played more of LBP and have completed world 2. I will try and complete world 3 today if I can. I actually made it to the level I got stuck on all those years ago. It wasn't that hard. I also wrote a bit more of the script. Here's a screenshot of the level:

Day 8

I wasn't able to do much today, sadly. I didn't get a chance to play any more of the game yesterday, but I was still able to write a little bit more of the script. My plan for the rest of today and tomorrow is to play a lot more of the game, record some of it, and continue writing a script. Over the weekend, I'm thinking of recording my script so I can start editing the video on Monday. Here's my script so far btw:

Day 7

I played more of the game at home, but not much more. I will definitely play more of the game today after school and I won't record all of it. I think I have plenty of footage now, so I won't need much more. I just need to play more of the game. I've beaten world one and am now on the second world. I also wrote a little bit more of the script. I also have an idea on how to get more familiar with premiere before I start editing the video.I should hopefully have more things I'll be able to do tomorrow.

Day 6

I finally recorded some LBP footage over the weekend!  I played the tutorial and two levels over the weekend. After school today, I'll make sure to play much more of it so I can start editing the clips together. I won't be recording everything I do from now on, since I don't have the space for it on my phone. I'll only record the important parts in the game. I also wrote a bunch more of the script down. I now have 4 paragraphs of script written. I should hopefully be able to write more of it down tomorrow.

Day 5

Today, I wrote a tiny bit of my script. There wasn't much else for me to do, since I still need to record the game. I will make sure I do so on Saturday, since I should be free then. I should hopefully be able to do more on Monday, since I couldn't do much today.

Day 4

Today, I decided to learn how to use adobe premiere. I started off attempting to mess around in it, but quickly went to their website to learn how to use it. I learned how to cut videos, add audio, add text and images on separate layers, and MORE! This surprisingly took all class to do, since the tutorials on the website were a bit slow. I also looked up on google a couple of things I couldn't figure out, since Adobe's website wasn't giving be some of the answers I was looking for. I feel like I've learned a lot and will be able to start editing the actual video once I finish recording that. After school, I'll play and record a bit of the game and save the videos onto my USB, so I can save them onto the computer here. Hopefully by tomorrow, I'll be able to write some of the script. I'll also have to find some songs to add into the video as well. Anyways, here is what my practice video editing mess looks like:

Day 3

Today, I was planning on messing around in premiere, but ran into a problem. When I added a picture into the screen, it wouldn't show up. The screen was stuck blank. Tomorrow, I will come to class with a practice video and use that to mess around in premiere instead. I will also watch some tutorials on adobe's website. Today, I also wrote down a couple more notes on the game I'll be reviewing. When I get home today, I should hopefully be able to record some of the footage I will need for the video. That is my plan.

Day 2

Today, I finally decided which game I was going to review. The game I chose was: Little Big Planet. Last time I played this game, I was too young to beat the 4th level, so I want to see what the game is like now. I went to Wikipedia to find some facts about the game, so I can add them into my script when I start that.








I also made an image that will be in the video a couple of times when I don't have any game footage to show or when game footage wouldn't work at that time in the video. I may have to make more with different expressions in the future, but for now, this is all I'll need.

Day 1

I haven't started the project yet, but I have a plan. I will choose a game to play through and record it at home. While I'm doing that, I'll be researching the game and finding/making the things I'll need in the video at school. I'll also be writing a script once I get through enough of the game to do so. Once I'm done recording, I'll edit the parts together at school using Adobe Premiere and looking up how-to's on what I need to learn. Before that, though, I'll have a practice video recorded and mess around with it in premiere to learn what I do and don't know.
