It allows us to present concepts that attribute towards visual metaphors and the explanation of a message through symbolic means. Through this project I was able to learn how to film and direct on a detailed level without the fear of ignorance. I learned detail down to the wire. Such as how to efficiently use camera angles that mean symbolic definitions in a film. I also learned how to use multiple film tools, such as tripods and DSLR cameras. I learned programs such as Adobe After Effects, a variety of google apps, and Adobe Photoshop.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>Photo Haiku<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For our first project in Conceptual, we created a short haiku and placed it into video form with a picture symbolizing the poem.<\/p>\n<p>This Haiku i created is called&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Skeptic&#8221;:<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t<div data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-_fsy2c0rlgk\" style=\"max-width:400px;\" class=\"arve aligncenter\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"arve-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"aspect-ratio:585\/329\" class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top:56.239316%\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<iframe allow=\"accelerometer &apos;none&apos;;autoplay &apos;none&apos;;bluetooth &apos;none&apos;;browsing-topics &apos;none&apos;;camera &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-read &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-write;display-capture &apos;none&apos;;encrypted-media &apos;none&apos;;gamepad &apos;none&apos;;geolocation &apos;none&apos;;gyroscope &apos;none&apos;;hid &apos;none&apos;;identity-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;idle-detection &apos;none&apos;;keyboard-map &apos;none&apos;;local-fonts;magnetometer &apos;none&apos;;microphone &apos;none&apos;;midi &apos;none&apos;;otp-credentials &apos;none&apos;;payment &apos;none&apos;;picture-in-picture;publickey-credentials-create &apos;none&apos;;publickey-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;screen-wake-lock &apos;none&apos;;serial &apos;none&apos;;summarizer &apos;none&apos;;sync-xhr;usb &apos;none&apos;;web-share;window-management &apos;none&apos;;xr-spatial-tracking &apos;none&apos;;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" credentialless data-arve=\"arve-youtube-_fsy2c0rlgk\" data-lenis-prevent=\"\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_Fsy2C0RLgk?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"224.95726495726\" loading=\"lazy\" name=\"\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_Fsy2C0RLgk?feature=oembed&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autoplay=0\" title=\"\" width=\"400\"><\/iframe>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"http:\\\/\\\/schema.org\\\/\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/freestyleacademy.rocks\\\/~RyanW\\\/conceptual\\\/#arve-youtube-_fsy2c0rlgk\",\"@type\":\"VideoObject\",\"embedURL\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/embed\\\/_Fsy2C0RLgk?feature=oembed&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&autohide=1&playsinline=0&autoplay=0\"}<\/script>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n<p>Here is a screenshot of the formatting for the Adobe Premiere editing sequence I created:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-160\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyanW\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Capture-300x162.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"898\" height=\"485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyanW\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Capture-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyanW\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Capture-768x414.jpg 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyanW\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Capture-1024x552.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~RyanW\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Capture.jpg 1593w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 898px) 100vw, 898px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Creating this poem allowed me to understand the relationship between a metaphor and a theme of a general passage. It helped to understand poetry in a way that allows me to understand how to hide a message under visuals and details. The creation of the original photo in the video was the largest learning experience for me as it allowed me to create a vague visual that represents a deep and substantial message. It allows the audience to do some of the work to figure out a meaning. This project also taught me about cutting words, and structure of a poem.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>Freelance Poetry<\/h1>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In our learning of the usage of metaphors through visual learning, we created a few more poems to utilize this idea even further.

This was a poem that would be created through some special means. What we did to make this was we created a group of about 10 people. Then we got a piece of paper and wrote our first line of poetry onto it. After that we passed it on to the next person. However through about 2 lines, we started folding over the paper so that the next person had only one line of reference to continue the poem.

We then had to enhance the lighting via blending modes and lighting effects that programs such as Photoshop can provide us.
