We learned a wide variety of techniques and skills that helped us discover our distinct personal aesthetic. Having access to modern professional equipment and applications like DSLR Cameras, Audio Recorders, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects,  Avid Pro Tools, and WordPress I was able to create some pieces that I am very proud of that are shown below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Haiku<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For one of our first projects this year, we were tasked to create a Haiku in Digital Media and English. The Haiku created has to display some connection to a season. We began this process by getting randomly assigned a concept statement. Mine was &#8220;I&#8217;m exploring the feeling of yearning through driving. Here is my finished video haiku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"20 21 p1 Haiku JoshG\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YD1bJrW4voE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"629\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JoshG\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screen-Shot-2020-12-11-at-11.19.20-AM-1-1024x629.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JoshG\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screen-Shot-2020-12-11-at-11.19.20-AM-1-1024x629.png 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JoshG\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screen-Shot-2020-12-11-at-11.19.20-AM-1-300x184.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JoshG\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screen-Shot-2020-12-11-at-11.19.20-AM-1-768x472.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JoshG\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screen-Shot-2020-12-11-at-11.19.20-AM-1-1536x944.png 1536w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JoshG\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Screen-Shot-2020-12-11-at-11.19.20-AM-1-2048x1259.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Here is the interface we used to edit the video together <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This project taught me a lot about producing and creating a final project.
