In class, we recently started working on a team project. I have had to plan with others on how to make a final product and we had to divide the work. The different people in the groups had different jobs, and my job was to create the graphics and logos. I decided to research ways to improve logos and graphics for a video. I found that a good technique to use is to combine an image with text. It gives a sense of cleverness, as you can combine a symbol for your company with text. Another tip I found was to pick colors carefully. Colors are very important in giving your logo the feel you want. The last thing I learned was to not make a logo too complex. You want it simple enough to be understandable, but also complex enough to be creative. Logos that are too complex will be confusing and hard to understand and logos that are too simple will look pointless and effortless.

In Premiere Pro, I have been experimenting with new tools and effects in Adobe Premiere Pro. I wanted to research how to edit effects and see what certain effects can do. I researched the volume effect and the pitch shifter effect. First, to add an effect to part of your video, you simply have to find it and drag it onto the section of video you're trying to edit. With the default workspace, the effects are in the bottom left. There is a drop down for different types of effects, such as video effects or audio effects. On the panel in the upper left hand corner of the default workspace, you can edit the effects. With the volume effect, you can easily slide the volume up and down up to an extra 6 dB or 287.5 dB less. The pitch shifter effect is a bit more complicated. There is the option to use a custom setup for the effect, or you can use a slider to adjust the pitch. The slider adjusts the ratio in which the pitch is shifter. It goes from a ratio of 0.5 to 2.0. Together, these effects can be used to perfect audio in videos made in Premiere.

I used bits of a conversation to create an interaction between two people. The video is below. Most of the camera angles are shots and reverse shots, with the exception of one. While using Adobe Premiere, I have started to learn how to use composition with film techniques as opposed to just art techniques. I wanted to look up good usages of different shots, and when to use them. Specifically, I researched the bird's eye view and the point of view shot. Good times to use the bird's eye view are when you want to show off an area from above. A lot of the time, the bird's eye shot is used to show grief or foreshadowing. Another common use of the bird's eye shot is showing a scene while it is raining. The point of view shot is used during horror films often so that the viewer feels scared. In general, point of view shots are used during a specific part where the director wants the viewer to feel what a character is feeling. When used correctly, both of these shots can enhance videos greatly.
