This is my reflective essay about my short project video that I made in the class Media Texts. It was a good and fun project and I learned a lot from it. First of all I learned about Adobe Premiere Pro. I learned about how to make a video, I learned that though the covid pandemic has not been the most fun experience, I have had also such great times during it. The most important thing I learned and take away from this project is that Family is the most important thing in life. At least in my case.
First I will talk about how my experience was working with Adobe Premiere Pro. This was my first time working with Adobe Premiere Pro, however have I had a little bit of experience working on projects in other classes on making graphics and videos using Adobe Spark. Doing videos with Adobe Spark was a good experience but using Adobe Premiere Pro however abled me to do a video on a more professional level. There are so many things that you can do using Adobe Premiere Pro. Some things that I did for this project was to input pictures and videos into Adobe, record myself, and using pictures on the internet. Inputing all these files into Adobe worked really well and fast and it came out very nicely.
Secondly I learned that I have had so much fun during the covid pandemic and moments and times that I will always remember. For my video, I used pictures and videos from when covid started and all the way to when I came back to the Trinity from Iceland this January. There were so many pictures and videos that I had and it was very fun looking back at those memories. Converting the pictures and videos into Adobe worked really smoothly and fast.
Thirdly I learned that family is the most important thing in life. I say that because those are the people who at least in my case are the closest to me and I enjoy most being around. When Trinity University´s campus closed I went back to Iceland. Spending almost the whole year of 2020 with my family was so fun and made me realise of how important it is to take care and be in good touch with your family. Without covid I wouldn´t have experienced these times with my family. So that time spending with my family was among the biggest positive things that I take away from this pandemic.
I learned many things from doing this project. It was really fun making a video about a positive experience and including videos and pictures that bring back good memories. It was easy to follow the guidelines for the project and using Adobe. What suprised me was how good of a software Adobe is and how much you can work with it creating a very nice projects like this video. It worked really well to input all the pictures and videos from my phone into Adobe. The one thing that could have been gone better was that there were some pictures that didn´t fill the whole area of space when watching the video.
Good movies and videos that I have watched over my life time are good and successful because a lot of work has been put into the movie. It´s easy to be a media consumer watch a video and enjoy it. By being the producer and creating a video is a different story. I realised that there is a lot of work that needs to be put into it and a lot of small steps and technique that I used that made my video better and more creative. It was really fun making this video and being the producer but at the same it´s way more work being the producer than the consumer and more thought process needs to be put into the work. Working with Adobe Premiere Pro was a very good experience that I will most likely use in the future creating a good video.
