AB Sequence

In this project I learned quite a few things. I learned that there can not be any jump cuts because they do not make sense to the viewers. Even though we had trouble with that I learned that I will not do it again in future videos. I also learned that viewers do not like very long clips. Therefore each clip was at max 3 seconds. During next project I am going to not have jump cuts obviously. I am also going to add transitions if I need to. Another thing I am going to do is cut my clips the way I need to make it look the best it can be. Collaboration is working together as a group to complete a task. That was a big key for this project. Mainly because it was a partner project, but you had to communicate with your partner many times to complete the tasks.

My Personality Type

My personality type is ESFJ, which means that I am an extrovert, a sensor, a feeler, and a judger. Each of these concepts or traits are things that shape my personality. I completely agree about how it says my personality is inferred. Each of the explanations for each trait seems to fit me perfectly. Extroverted means that I am open to people and that I like to communicate to get the job done. Sensing means that I feel emotion and such for other people. Feeling means that I like to do hands on activities and things like that. And finally, judging means that I like to be loyal about things, not just joke around about serious things.

I think that my personality type fits me perfectly! Everything pretty much flawless besides that sometimes I am an introvert around people. Other than that I am surprised at how accurate the test was. My personality type does help me better understand how I act and react to things as well as to people.

When I work as a team, I am and extrovert so I am open to conversation and changes. I also sense so I am respectful to other ideas. Feeling means that I like to be organized on the project but loyal to other people's work. People may have misunderstood how I like to do hands on activities or practices before anything else.

6 Shots

 During editing and making this video I learned quite a bit. The six shot sequence we used was a beginner for me. I had never recorded anything serious before. The XCU means extra close up is basically a clip of what the hands of the person are doing. A CU is a shot that shows much of the upper side of the body. OTS means over the shoulder. A MS is a medium shot of the hips up. A wide shot shows what the person is doing, but not the entire scene. An XWS is an extra wide shot and it sets the scene for the video. I learned over this project that during a video, you should shoot a variety of shots from different angles and that you clan only use legal music on youtube videos. During my next project I will get much better shots with nobody in the background.
