For this assignment, I decided to start my photo story magazine. With the photo story newspaper as inspiration, I decided to spice it up a bit. I used the masking technique to put my sister over the Celtics background. At first I wasn't really sure how to photoshop my image, but with the "happy couple" and bottles examples it was pretty straight forward from there. I think this photo is really cool. And a nice Christmas present.
What colors inspired me was this Nantucket sunset. I liked how it gradually went down with color. I think I followed the color scheme pretty well. This is my favorite forum I have done. I understood it and I got to choose my image!
With mono disrupting my still image video, I agreed with Professor Heagney to talk about my final still image video. With my person on the street already being recorded, it was easy just to paste it into the new app that I got introduced to called Preview and to add any images I wanted that related to the video. It was a fun process to do. Preview was a little tedious but it got easier as time went on. This project I am proud of because of all of the elements I did not know I was capable of learning or using was incorporated into this project.
Using animations made my project look 10x better. Making it move definitely made it less boring. Some of my images before were boring and I was looking at it for too long. But making it move made me less antsy. I thought I was finished with my video before I came to the exam block period but when Professor Heagney came over and talked with me, I realized I was missing so much. And I made my video so much cooler than I thought I could. I even have peers coming up to me saying I did a good job. And honestly it just feels good to hear that.
Even though this was not a rough draft, I feel as though it is even better to see this instead. With a lot of trouble with Hollywood and images that showed up with Chinese characters, I finally uploaded it to youtube. It was a painful to see my images have Chinese characters on my project. But then when you locate them correctly, it worked out well.
This audio story took a lot out of me. I spent almost a week picking different types of sounds, music, and experts to interview. I hope you enjoy the hard work I put into this!!

This podcast is the person on the street podcast where I ask random people on the street what animal they would be.

I cannot come up with a foley sound effect yet. I need to make it good!
Personally, I use VSCO to edit my pictures for Instagram. These are old pictures that I instantly thought of when I got this assignment assigned. I incorporated a picture of my cat, my best friend, and my favorite building at HPU! It was a bit challenging to choose all of the different setting and options but I did the best I could.

Final Thoughts:
I feel like I did the best I did with the filters. I would not personally use them for my instagram because they are a little too edgy for my liking. In a way, the filter outlines the main parts of the picture. The before and after pictures show a huge difference. I also cropped the pictures too to show the main idea and focus of the image. I enjoyed making my instagram filters and will try it again when I post a picture for my instagram.
If you could be an animal, what would it be and why?
About:
As I walked around the High Point University campus, I found some fellow students and asked "if you could be an animal, what would it be and why?". Three people from High Point University answered it in 30 seconds. I always had this question and wondered what people would pick. I assumed dogs but that was not a common answer.
Editing Process:
Since I don't have Adobe Audition, I just used the voice memos on my phone. I kept stopping and playing the voice recording to get it perfect. I couldn't wait until it was finished. My first ever podcast was a success! It was a lot of fun and I cannot wait for the rest of the semester.
