Reflection:

I have been editing video for well over six years now. Working with the TATC has enabled me to transfer my skills to internet ready files. I can now add video files to my web sites. I wish that the quality could truly represent the projects, but that can only be accomplished through greater file size and longer downloads.

Artifact #16   - Nora Jones Music Video

Descriptors: Video, transitions, credits, audience appropriate, and promotional

Title: Nora Jones Music Video

Course: Video Technology

Date Created: April 15, 2003

Source: www.norajones.com

Media: 8MM video camera, Pinnacle Studio Version 8, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Go Live, Flash MX

Description: I created the site to act as a promotional site for Nora Jones, a jazz singer from the DFW area. The overall look of the site was intended to be dramatic.

Rationale: I created the video for her song "Lonestar." I felt the song conveyed the beauty of Texas and so I wanted to use scenes from two of my favorite places in Texas (Big Bend National Park and Lake Worth) I used the water and birds an the uniting elements of the video. I used mostly landscapes, but I did appear in my video as well. I wanted to use a shot from behind to not reveal my own face and give the viewer a sense that it could be anyone and that they could imagine themselves in my place

Implications for future: I thought this was a wonderful project and I learned a great deal about the subject of my favorite artist as well as about myself. I used a modified version of this assignment in my classroom and it was a huge success.

Reviewers Comments:  “ I love the Big Bend to Lakeside concept.  I really understood what you were trying to do and I liked how you used Norah to do it.  I really liked the animation on the Photo section.”  I think Norah would be proud”

Title: Nahla Meets the World

Course: None

Date Created: May 5, 2003

Source: The video footage taken in Lakeside Texas, and the music is from POD.

Media: 8 MM video Camera and Pinnacle Studio Version 8

Description: My horse, Squeetie recently had a filly and I wanted to create a video to show off the new baby and showcase how a horse experiences the world for the first time. She was only a few weeks old when the footage was taken so she really was still adapting to the world.  It was basically created for the cuteness factor and to send out to all my friends and family, so the small file size was important.

Rationale: I wanted music that was calm and mellow that only acted as an accent to the video. I used different shot angles and positions to gain a different perspective on my subject. I wanted to divide the video into individual experiences of the horse: with other animals, other people, and her environment. I used captions to accomplish this and I was quite pleased with the results.

Implications for future: I showed this video to my class to illustrate putting together a compilation of images that relate to experience and I sent it out to my friends and family.

Reviewers Comments: I really enjoyed the video. It wasn't just a bunch of random images put together and it had a purpose and a story. The new baby really is cute.
