For the Conceptual Project, we developed our abstract thinking and communication skills to answer the question,<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>“How can I use unconventional forms to express myself?”<\/b>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>This project emphasizes creative risk-taking through poetry, music, art, animations, experimental film and web production, challenging us to express our opinions through a distinct personal aesthetic. We began developing our technical communication skills by learning a variety of modern professional equipment and applications such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects and Google Apps.<\/span>

I value many things I’ve learned throughout this unit. In Animation, I began learning how to use DragonFrame to bring my pictures to life in stop motion. In English, I learned how to write meaningful, non-cliche poems and passages. And in Digital Media, I began learning everything. I started Digital Media not knowing anything about Adobe Applications, coding, or building websites. Now, I have experience in all of these things, and I’m very grateful to have this opportunity to learn these things.<\/p>\n

DIGITAL MEDIA<\/h2>\n

We began by pulling topics and emotions out of a bag in English class. My topic was Driving and my emotion was Anger. So my intention statement became, “I am exploring the emotion of anger through the experience of driving.” I created multiple different drafts of haikus, but I found it difficult to create anger in them so I took a more passive aggressive route for it. I wanted my speaker to be someone who’s bitter towards teen drivers on the road. I feel like it’s a universal thing to be passive aggressive towards new drivers and I wanted the listener to relate to the poem.<\/p>\n

Using Premiere Pro<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

This was my first time using Premiere Pro. I spent the first couple of days for this project asking Mr. Florendo and the classmates around me really basic questions. Once I figured out how to put audio and photos into the application, I began working. I learned how to add Royalty Free Music and sound effects into the background to make it more interesting and how to animate the text so it would disappear after that piece was said. One important thing I learned from this project was that you need to be patient when producing videos. Getting the video to be the exact way you want it is extremely tedious and it’s very easy to get frustrated but you have to keep working on it.<\/p>\n
