Final Video Reflection

I came up with the idea too film a car ride to a place that I knew of , film the walk to the place, and either take some still pictures and incorporate them or do a 360 view. Obviously I edited them to make them shorter so it wouldn't bore the audience. So I originally wanted to do a local spot here in Windber but it just so happened that my boyfriend and I went on an adventure to West Virginia and along the way home I asked if we could stop at Cooper's Rock State Forest along highway 68 so we did and it was totally worth it and my video come out even better.

The songs I chose to use for the background music compliments the video because the first song "All Eyes On Us" goes with the fact that my boyfriend and I like to travel so the "ride or die" is like us since we go on different adventures together. The second song "Take Back Home Girl" also goes with the fact about traveling/riding together to places and these two songs just really fit.

In all honesty I just used the video on my phone and used a voice recording app to record those two songs in a row to play then I downloaded another app to create the video. I selected the video's and photo's that I wanted and made them shorter and added text to the still photo's and also made the duration longer so they would disappear so fast. The hardest part was picking the songs for the background and getting the text to stay on for the entire duration of the photo.

This way of storytelling is unique because the video with the music tells a story without having to have any text, like my video you can see that is an adventure to somewhere unique and one of a kind. Each spot that we go to has its own specific story to tell and I hope that continues until I can't anymore. 

I learned a lot from this creation process actually and it honestly made me what to make more videos of some of the places that we have traveled too and I thought this was the most exciting project of them all and hope my classmates and viewers think so as well.
