Entry Title:
Friendship Road
Project Description:
For this video, I used a lot of techniques. To open I used the commonly known Netflix pages that you click through to get to a movie or a show. To make those slides, I used the original Netflix for inspiration and created my own handmade slide on sketches school. I added a lot of clips that are with my friends that mean a lot to me. I feel like these videos represent our bonds very well and show our joy when we are together. I also added a technique where the guitar playing by me ( my friend pretending to play along) and the signing of me and my friends at the start slowly turned into the actual song by the artists. I'd like to give credit to the Moldy Peaches for their song "Anyone else But You". This song is very friendly and playful and I thought the words really matched the vibe with friendship and joy very well. I submitted this live action video mostly to demonstrate and show the techniques I used with Final Cut Pro, using different ideas I had and different audio techniques.
