Weekly Comments #3: IS IT HALLOWEEN YET

    Hey! This week was alright, besides the fact that it's been freaking cold out !! I mean, I guess I don't really mind it, since I can finally wear sweaters and leggings.. but in a month like September, you really never have any idea what to wear because it's always cold in the morning and warm in the evening. Make up your mind, Mother Nature !!

    But anyways, in boces we were given two new assignments: an audio project, where we're only allowed to use various sound effects to tell a story, and the self portrait project, the last Photoshop project, where we have to make a montage of things that describe who we are. I'm very excited about both projects! I already have a pretty interesting idea for the audio project that I really hope turns out alright! Not sure what we're doing after this just yet, but I'm hoping it's some kind of video project so I can finally start learning about Adobe Premiere!

    Something that frustrated me this week, hmm, well, I came back to school after the weekend with a cold - runny nose, headaches, coughing, watering eyes, the whole package. So I probably blew my nose at least 100 times while I was at my computer (don't worry, Miss Licata, I used a ton of hand sanitizer!!), but I ended up getting a bloody nose, and it wouldn't stop bleeding for 20 minutes. :( I felt like a mess. But I'm fine now - pretty sure my cold is gone!

    Last but not least, my link of interest this week is here! The title of this video is "A Few Simple Tips For Becoming a Better Editor", by Indy Mogul, giving advice for amateur video editors on how to cut/overlap dialogue clips correctly, getting rid of unneeded scenes, and cutting clips down so they're not too long and boring. Some of these are things I've learned recently from going to the LCTV group during the summer - it's really helped me a lot, and this video explains it very well.

That's it ! Hope you all had a nice week, and an even better weekend! :)
