Personal Fall Sports Project


      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.
