2nd and Final week of WHYY Media Camp: Day 4 August 11, 2011

Today we had to get everything edited and done. So we filmed our last video call "Lettuce Make a Sandwich". In this video we had to demonstrate how to make a sandwich that is good for you and we name our sandwich an "Athlete's Sandwich". We had to bring in a tomato, two hard boiled eggs, lettuce, and wheat bread. In this video Robert Kralle starred are the demonstrator/cook. This like the muffin video has sound to it. It took 15 takes to get this video perfect. Then we started importing this video and started to edited it. Then we finished up editing the PUFFA video. We stayed a little later than usual but we got everything done.

2nd and Final week of WHYY Media Camp: Day 3 August 10, 2011

Today we started to video tape our next video about the whole grain muffin. We use the lockers at WHYY and two camera to get different shots. This time around I starred in the video and so did another girl named Julie Mark. Unlike all of our other videos this one has sound because Julie and I had to talk to get our point across. It took us 34 takes to get it absolutely right. Then we had to import all of the good takes into the computer. Then we had to start editing the video. While every one was editing Steven Dixon and I had to go to a radio room so we could do the voice over for the PUFFA video. It took me a couple of times to get it perfect but it happen. Then we went and imported the voice over into the PUFFA video. We had to time it right with the pictures and we had to change pictures around and add some pictures too. At the end of the day we had made good progress.

2nd and Final Week of WHYY Media Camp: Day 2 August 9, 2011

Today we finished up editing for all of our videos and started on the back round music. We started creating some music in a program called Garage band. This program helps you create any kind of music you want. It already has recorded instruments on there that you can pick and choose from. It was alot of fun to play around with. Then we had to put the music with the video and time it right with the video. Then we started think about ways we could do our next video with the whole grain muffin.We came up with two teenagers at their lockers at school and one of them didn't have breakfast so the other gives them the whole grain muffin. But it brings up the question " Are muffin good for you?" and the answer is whole grain muffin are good for you because they lower your of having heart disease, type two diabetes and cancer. Then we started animating a title for this video. It was hard but we figured it out.

2nd and Final week of WHYY Media Camp: Day 1

Today my group had to go to a park so we could record our next video for the apple. The way we made this video is a male teen missing passes while playing football and after he eats an apple, he has more energy and starts to catch all the passes. So we had one of the boys in our groups, Robert Kralle, play the football player and another boy, Brandon Mark, throw the football to Robert. We taped from many different angles and points. Then we came back to WHYY  and started importing the video on the computer. Then our group split up, half of us started editing the apple video and the other half started working on the PUFFA plug video. I was working on the PUFFA video. We had decided that we were gonna make it a slide show of all the pictures from this summer intern ship with a voice over in the back round. We had to download all the pictures from our face book page (http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Puffa-Youth/170936122960369) and import them into the Project Pro, so we could edit. We had to go through the pictures so we had them in the order we wanted them in. By the we got done that part it was time to go.

Another Movie!

On Our Way To Hollywood!

Day 2- August 2, 2011

Today we came into WHYY ready to finish our PSA's! We got right down to business editing and producing our video clips. We learned  how to work Movie Maker and we received many tools that will help us edit our videos easier for the future. After our videos were completed we showed each other the final product. It was an amazing moment. OFFICIAL MOVIE MAKERS! We then brainstormed more ideas we wanted to use for our final PSA collection. Immediately we chose one we wanted to focus on for tomorrow. We learned about different shots and angles to hold the camera at to make it more uniform. Then we wrote the script for our next PSA's and drew out the order in which our shots would go. I can't wait until tomorrow when we get to film again. :)
