Exercise 2.1
"A Better Look" is a composition of 9 types of filming techniques which help create a better and deeper look at some things that we may not appreciate enough. Whether that be the people around us, the nature that surrounds us, or the architecture we spend time in, take a better look at all of it by watching my video!
Project 2
For the concept of my montage, I thought it would be fun to film what my regular walks look like! When looking for subjects to film, I found that I really took into account the little things, like the small flowers, the leaves blowing in the wind and even the ducks swimming! It made me definitely appreciate the nature around me! Here is my montage!
Exercise 3.1
Since Halloween is just around the corner, I thought it would be a fun idea to do a little stop motion video showing a bunch of chocolates and other treats uncovering a "Happy Halloween!!" message! For some extra fun, I added a sound effect (from Soundbible.com) of a witch laughing. Without further ado, here is my Halloween-themed stop motion!
Exercise 4.1
As we learned about audio and all the ways to achieve good quality audio, I created this audio composition using 3 types of audio, using a lav mic, a phone (direct mic), and using 2 phones (one for video and one for audio). I had never previously used a lav mic and with this exercise, I realized how good the sound production really is when using this mic! Here is the video!

Describing the set
The majority of my interview takes place in this area, which consists of two chairs for the host and
the celebrity and a coffee table separating us. In addition, there are some props I used to fill in
the background such as the mugs which can always been seen on Ellen's table. Also, the Christmas tree
and other decorations were essential for making the set more interesting, and they even became a part
of the introduction of the celebrity, acting as a transition from welcoming the audience to introducing
the interviewee! My goal was to get my set to appear as similar to Ellen's studio as possible, and even
though it isn't identical, there are defintely some elements which can be seen in her show!
Project 5
For my final project, I decided to make a parody of one of my favourite talk shows, The Ellen Show! So without further ado, introducing the Hellen Show!
