This is the professional project review I chose to analyze. It was a highlight video of how Dakota Ballinger, #45, did during the football season for Morgan County Cougars. Including catches, tackles and many more.
The story was just a highlight video and at the beginning there is a close up of Ballinger so the audience knows who he is at the very beginning. It was just told by sharing his most impressive plays on the field. One specific element I would take from this work is that if I was ever doing a feature story for someone who plays sports, I could definitely take the same style as the person who made the video did. Show the person the feature is about in he beginning, and show their most impressive plays with upbeat music in the background.
One element that is already used that I already know is the rule of thirds and how to do a highlight video which mostly includes play by plays. The creator did really good of getting all the shots...the shots were steady and the audience can clearly see Ballinger playing. One thing the creator can improve on is putting in voiceovers as that can help for a feature story or get an interview with the player as it is always a great idea to get to know the player on a more personal level.
In conclusion, the highlight video was good...the shots were good and he audience can tell that Ballinger is a good gootball player and the video flowed on smoothly.
This tutorial is about audio and how to control and make it as good as possible. Audio is very important in videography and so today I will help you learn the BASICS because I'm not that advanced with the complicated works. Let's get started!
My purpose for making this tutorial is to help those who don't know how to work audio and to teach them how to fix it using the BASICS so that their videos aren't as bad. People need this skill because audio is everything in a video and if the audio isn't good, people will either hear nothing come from the video, the audio will either be too loud, too soft, and that just gets annoying. The audiences include EVERYONE. More specifically those who want to get into the video industry or anything that has to do with audio on television. But since we are starting off small, my audience are students who are trying to learn more about how to fix audio when using Final Cut Pro. BASICS ONLY.
NOTE: This audio and audio doesn't have any steps sometimes...ENJOY!!
This is the first thing to do. Which is get onto Final Cut Pro. Here, for beginners, you can see the footage and audio of the certain footage. In order to see audio, just right click on the footage and press "Detach Audio."
This a close up of one of the audios detached from the footage. As you can see, the lighter shade of green indicates how loud the audio is, since it's not red or yellow, it is at the right volume. There is a white dot to the right side and that dot is used in order if the person wants the volume to fade or not.
As seen, if you pull the dot to the left, it will have the audio fade out instead of it ending abruptly.
Here you notice that the volume got to high and it turned yellow, it has to be green at all times or else it be too loud for the audience.
If there are two parts of one audio you want to separate, use the blade tool by pressing 'B.' Then just click on where you want to make the cut and you will able to break the audio into two.
Now that you know the basics, it is important to know that there will be multiple noises that will compete with each other. To balance out the sounds, go to the right of the screen where it says Channel Configuration. Here you will see the down pointed head of an arrow so click on that.
In order to balance it, the switch will be in "Stereo." Click on "Dual Mono" to balance out the noises. That is the basics of fixing audio on Final Cut Pro.

My purpose for making this tutorial is to help those who don't know how to work audio and to teach them something that wont make their videos as bad. But my help will probably only help a little. People need this skill because audio is everything in a video and if the audio isn't good, people will either hear nothing come from the video, the audio will either be too loud, too soft, and that just gets annoying. The audiences include EVERYONE. More specifically those who want to get into the video industry or anything that has to do with audio on television.

Here is a video that will help better understand audio in Final Cut Pro. Sources go to KingTutsPro.
This is my professional article review. I chose an article that described the dangers of winter temperature. It warns everyone that is important to stay warm during these cold times because your life really depends on it
The author, Jacqueline Howard, urges everyone to stay as warm as possible during the cold weather as some factors of being too cold could end up killing us. She uses scientific evidence to support her claim. The body has to keep the most important organs safe and warm --brain, lungs, and heart-- and so in order to do this, the body draws away blood vessels from the fingers and toes in order to keep the body from getting frostbite, heart attacks, asthma symptoms, or hypothermia.
With the scientific research Howard has made, she makes her article much more relevant and her claim is strongly backed up. Her strength is doing her research and by doing so makes her a very reliable source. A weakness of Howard is that she claims that the body needs to protect the brain, heart, and lungs. Though she only goes in depth with what happens to the heart and lungs if the body didn't immediately act...she never talked about what would happen to the brain if the body never reacted quickly against the cold weather.
The author's general conclusion is to stay as warm as possible by wearing as much clothing as possible. Wear jackets, sweaters, hats, gloves, anything that will keep the body warm and radiating heat. She also explains that there are other ways of staying warm, to keep your home as warm as possible, to have the fireplace running all night, get as much blankets to stay warm in, drink hot chocolate, and to put the heater on.
In conclusion, the article relates to me as a videographer as when I do stories for sports, I have to do my research of what happened in the game and keep scores in order to make myself a reliable source. I need to be kept up to date and if I have other sources that help my story improve, I can add that to my work as well.
My personal project is the Fall Sports video I did back in September. The video was assigned to get the rest of the student body excited for the fall sports games. The video consisted of football, boy's soccer, girl's tennis, girl's golf, gymnastics, and cross country.
The process for the making of the video wasn't difficult but it wasn't easy. In order to get all highlights from the fall sports, someone had to go to games for each sport. I was able able to go to the home football games and film on the sidelines. After getting enough footage from each games, editing is next. I got all footages and picked the best from each sport. There were some sports like football showed more in the video than a less as exciting sport like golf. After I picked the footages, I has to get a song that went with the mood in order to get everyone excited for the fall season.
I had help from Adam Cook picking the song choice. We ended up choosing "After Dawn" by Jaeger and Meric and "Purple Lamborghini" from the Suicide Squad movie playlist. We divided the songs and put the faster beats in all the videos. Ben Whitney was the one who helped with the audio on making it fade and help balance the audio for the video.
What I would do better in the end is get more footage from other sports that aren't as popular like football or soccer. I would get cross country and golf and especially tennis involved more. I would also make the audio better because it ended up not being the best at the assembly.
What I would do the same is collaborate with my classmates and hear their perspective of the video as they help the video look better. Collaboration is important in Convergence and i'm happy I ended up getting help from my peers, as well as Mr. Cooper.
In the end, I got to do something different which was the highlight video and it was a bit different from what I'm normally used to and it made me think more of what process I should take on, like whether I should of picked the music first or edited the footages first. It ended up being a really fun experience for me and I ended up learning more and if were to do it again I'd be happy too.
