Programs such as <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#eabdcc\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Adobe Photoshop<\/mark><\/strong> and <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#eabdcc\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Adobe Premiere Pro<\/mark><\/strong> looked scary but now I think of them as a go-to application when considering photo or video editing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-diagonal-primary-to-foreground-gradient-background has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"border-top-left-radius:25px;border-top-right-radius:25px;border-bottom-left-radius:25px;border-bottom-right-radius:25px\">I learned a lot of things in <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#eabdcc\" class=\"has-inline-color\">English<\/mark><\/strong> and <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#eabdcc\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Digital Media<\/mark><\/strong> during the conceptual unit. English taught me to not be scared of writing creatively, essentially accepting any and all ideas as long as you have the guts to pull it off. In Digital Media we learned a lot of the basics in understanding many Adobe programs, we also learned how to use our new cameras and the other equipment along with it that our electives gave us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-wide\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Art Reflection<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-background has-diagonal-primary-to-foreground-gradient-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"border-top-left-radius:25px;border-top-right-radius:25px;border-bottom-left-radius:25px;border-bottom-right-radius:25px\">This was my first big project at Freestyle. To start, we took a bus to the <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#eabdcc\" class=\"has-inline-color\">San Francisco Museum of Modern Art<\/mark><\/strong> and took photos\/wrote notes on art pieces we were interested in. Then we went into English and drafted a script based off of the art piece of our choosing and why we were so drawn to it. We later read and recorded in Digital Media, using the recorders given to us in class. We used the voice recording and photos we took of the art pieces, compiling them into a video using Adobe Premiere Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"25 26 p1 Art Reflection Maya LeiB\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hRoJMC-2kgE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"487\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~Maya-LeiB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bagalso_Maya-Lei-PP-Art-Reflection-Video-1024x487.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~Maya-LeiB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bagalso_Maya-Lei-PP-Art-Reflection-Video-1024x487.png 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~Maya-LeiB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bagalso_Maya-Lei-PP-Art-Reflection-Video-300x143.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~Maya-LeiB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bagalso_Maya-Lei-PP-Art-Reflection-Video-768x365.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~Maya-LeiB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bagalso_Maya-Lei-PP-Art-Reflection-Video.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A look into how I edited my SFMOMA Reflection Video<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"border-top-left-radius:25px;border-top-right-radius:25px;border-bottom-left-radius:25px;border-bottom-right-radius:25px;background-color:#ffffff00\">The biggest things that I learned most by doing this reflection video was editing the video in both <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#eabdcc\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Adobe Audition<\/mark><\/strong> and Adobe Premiere Pro.

We chose the song \u201c<strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#eabdcc\" class=\"has-inline-color\">House of Memories<\/mark><\/strong>\u201d by scrolling through old songs we used to listen to back in around 2020, and we spun a wheel. When first writing the lyrics, we were thinking about the feeling of Halloween, like <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#eabdcc\" class=\"has-inline-color\">cold<\/mark><\/strong> and <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#eabdcc\" class=\"has-inline-color\">spooky<\/mark><\/strong>, rather than the cutesy dressing up and costuming vibe. During recording, we went in practically blind and spent a lot of time in the booth re-recording because we\u2019d barely thought about how we\u2019d sing it with the music, which is something I think

The box portrays the experience of viewing an eclipse. Eclipses can be viewed as <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#eabdcc\" class=\"has-inline-color\">mysterious <\/mark><\/strong>because the nature of space and eclipses as a whole form many questions. A needle and a balloon, used as one object, portray the feeling of hostility. The thought of something like a needle entering their <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#eabdcc\" class=\"has-inline-color\">skin <\/mark><\/strong>has been the cause of lots of fears, pairing a needle with something so fragile to sharp objects like a balloon can create a feeling of hostility, especially when considering the loud noise that balloons make when they pop, which can startle people. The <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#eabdcc\" class=\"has-inline-color\">purple light <\/mark><\/strong>used can be associated with mystery, paired with the angle that portrays an eclipse, and how the source of light gets <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#eabdcc\" class=\"has-inline-color\">hidden<\/mark><\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-background has-diagonal-primary-to-foreground-gradient-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"border-top-left-radius:25px;border-top-right-radius:25px;border-bottom-left-radius:25px;border-bottom-right-radius:25px\">When photographing, I didn\u2019t have a lot of ideas on how to pose the objects, but I learned that using a line for your eyes to follow is a good compositional technique, which is why I <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#eabdcc\" class=\"has-inline-color\">wrapped the balloon\u2019s ribbon around the box<\/mark><\/strong>. I got to practice with Adobe Photoshop a lot more in the process, especially when selecting objects and using the <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#eabdcc\" class=\"has-inline-color\">feather selection tool<\/mark><\/strong> to make it look more natural. Specifically, I selected the box and <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#eabdcc\" class=\"has-inline-color\">added a curve along with a brushed orange color to make it brighter <\/mark><\/strong>and <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#eabdcc\" class=\"has-inline-color\">contrast <\/mark><\/strong>with the purple background. I also selected the balloon and altered the color a little to differentiate it from the background.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"618\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~Maya-LeiB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bagalso_Maya-Lei-Conceptal.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~Maya-LeiB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bagalso_Maya-Lei-Conceptal.png 618w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~Maya-LeiB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Bagalso_Maya-Lei-Conceptal-232x300.png 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"959\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"482\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~Maya-LeiB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot-2025-12-12-at-3.19.45-PM.png\" alt=\"A screenshot of my Photoshop interface when editing the photo.\" class=\"wp-image-482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~Maya-LeiB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot-2025-12-12-at-3.19.45-PM.png 959w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~Maya-LeiB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot-2025-12-12-at-3.19.45-PM-300x250.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~Maya-LeiB\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot-2025-12-12-at-3.19.45-PM-768x641.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 959px) 100vw, 959px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Behind the scenes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-wide\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction The conceptual unit at freestyle had me learn many new Adobe programs, which on the surface looked overwhelming to learn but in reality were extremely fun to use.
