Verbal Landscapes



Hey guys and welcome back to my blog, this week we have a new project and its about nature. We have to create a video that incorporates nature. The requirements are you need 3 time lapses and 2 slow Mo's. Starting with the first question, nature impacts my life in many different ways one thing is we live in Hawaii. Everything you see is like paradise here the beaches, mountains and waterfalls.You get many things out of nature like you can grow your own food right at home. Like for my parents and grandparents we have a garden right in front of our house and we get all our vegetable ingredients from that like green onion, potato, corn, tomato's, pumpkins, squash, beans, peas and many other things. Also we have fruits banana, papaya and dragon fruit. Those are all the many thing that make impacts  on my life.

How are time lapses & slow-mos are created? For both you have more than one option to create it. Like you can use just your phone or if you have the feature like the iPhone you can just set it to where it say time lapse and you can just leave your phone there for however long you for me I like
to do mine for 10-30 minutes. Though when you are doing time lapses it should be a wide shot of the clouds passing by on a sunny day. And for slow Mo's you also have an option for that to on your iPhone. So when your doing a slow mo you can do it the way you want, for me I like doing my time lapses close up for example you can do a shot of a bee landing on a flower or rain drops falling off a flower petal. And so for slow Mo's you usually can just use a shot of 10 seconds or less.

Discuss the hardest part & your favorite part of it ? Well for me the hardest part would have been the editing. And that's because sometimes you would have all the clips that you want but it's not the way it turned out. Like for example I have all the clips that I need but I just have to work wit what I've got. So continuing on my favorite part of this project would be the filming like getting all your clips together. During the filming it was cool going to places that seemed unique and doing a time lapses. And for my slow Mo's it was really fun seeing in FCXP it turned out pretty well.


Lastly Do you agree & why with the result you got? Well I'm really happy that I got mostly 3 & 4's. Also I really want to know why I also got a 2. And I were to have a second chance to improve my video it would be to have more unique time lapses instead of doing it just in my yard. And also having what you need, you always need more because its good to have more shot than lees because you can improvise, also make it better than it already was. You call it reaching over and beyond or you bit of more than you could chew. 1 more thing I would fix the way how I set the camera up, it was in auto focus then when I finally go the chance and this was on my last two time lapses I looked and I switched it to Manual focus. Though i'm still really happy how my video turned out.
