After a large documentary project, I set out to explore something that I wanted to learn for a while &#8211; how to film a moving vehicle. To do this, I would go to a local school parking lot and film my father driving into a parking spot. Making this project would improve my ability to demonstrate visual literacy and other important skills.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing that I had to do with this project was research the topic. I used resources like Google, Gale, and other internet sources to fuel my research. I found several helpful websites that were useful to me, and helped me create a short film. While researching, I created some visuals on a Google Document to gather all of my knowledge in one place. The document looks like this.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AlexW\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Moving-Vehicles-Research.pdf\">Moving Vehicles Research<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In order to produce this final explorations product, I had to film a moving car (duh). To do this, I went to Springer Elementary School, where there was a parking lot. I had my father drive the same route many times in order to get the perfect shots to use in my explorations film. In total, I had four different shots over the span of 15 seconds. After filming all of the required shots, I then imported all of those shots into Adobe Premiere Pro. Editing and color grading followed, making the film look as best as possible.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AlexW\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/AlexW-Infographic.pdf\">AlexW-Infographic<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Making this project was valuable to me because I got to learn about something that I have always had interest in. I appreciated being able to have the freedom to create what I wanted, in such a short time period. In the future, if I ever need to produce a film with a moving vehicle or a moving car.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Experimental Music<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the film explorations project, we were also tasked to make an experimental music piece in Digital Media. Using Reason, I made a short song demonstrating the different instruments that I learned how to use. Below is what the interface looked like while I was making the song.<\/p>\n<!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-63-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/wav\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AlexW\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/AlexW-Experimental-Music.wav?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AlexW\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/AlexW-Experimental-Music.wav\">https:\/\/www.freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AlexW\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/AlexW-Experimental-Music.wav<\/a><\/audio>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-306\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AlexW\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/AlexW-EMInterface.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4308\" height=\"2392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AlexW\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/AlexW-EMInterface.jpg 4308w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AlexW\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/AlexW-EMInterface-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AlexW\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/AlexW-EMInterface-768x426.jpg 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~AlexW\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/AlexW-EMInterface-1024x569.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4308px) 100vw, 4308px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After learning all of these skills, it was my turn to present my Explorations Project to the rest of Freestyle.
