I don’t know about y’all, but when I was a kid, one of my favorite shows to throw on the tv was Tom & Jerry. In every episode, there was always a funny conflict to watch between the two, allowing me to laugh until I couldn’t laugh anymore. I used iMovie to upload the clip of Tom & Jerry and then added some sound effects and editing to produce a quality sound-over to cover every aspect of the scene that was going on. I hope everyone enjoys this short clip!

Meet my lovely dog, Max, a well-trained lab mix who loves long walks and to play. iMovie allowed me to upload a video I had saved from TikTok with the challenge presented in the opening scene of the video. I then added the song Stereo Hearts in the background to enhance the joyfulness of any pet that comes to the viewer’s mind. Hope y’all laugh your hearts out!!

The Walk of Life Project states that the Dire Straits’ song “Walk of Life” can represent the perfect ending scene of any movie. In this case, I chose the movie “Moneyball,” directed by Bennett Miller. I think that the ending scene of this movie correlates perfectly with the song “Walk of Life.” I uploaded both clips (the ending movie scene and song) to iMovie. I was then able to edit the clips so that they matched in the way I saw fit to produce the best outcome. Hope y’all enjoy it!
The last video assignment I decided to complete was called “What do you do?” The assignment’s guidelines instructed you to record a minimum of eight seconds of a certain daily activity. Find the assignment here: What Do You Do Assignment. I just opted to record myself cleaning my teeth, since I do that every single day. View my video up above! To be honest, I was sitting in my room trying to think of things I did every day, and brushing my teeth is definitely one of those things. It’s probably not the most original thing I could have done.
“TikTok of your pet” is the name of the next video assignment I decided to complete. It can be accessed at TikTok of Pet Assignment. The instructions for the job were rather straightforward: make a tiktok of your pet acting silly, then overlay the video with a humorous or well-known sound. This is Mason, a black lab that is my dog. Since our course character must appear in two of the three video projects, I will claim that this is truly Otis, the dog of my course character. Julius Lawrence became lonely living alone in New York after graduating from UVA, so he adopted an older black lab and they have since become closest friends. Check out my tiktok linked above and the photos of the two below, they do everything together! As you can see from the pictures below, Otis has quite the personality.
Rather than talk to the bot as option A, I choose to complete the three video assignments from the assignment bank. Top 10 or Ranking Video Assignment is the link to the first assignment bank I decided to do. I was given the task of creating a top 10 or ranking video that you watch below on YouTube. I’ve been watching a lot of NBA lately, so I thought I would rate my current top 10 players. Videos of some of the players’ best plays from this season are included in my top 10. Julius Lawrence, my course character, is currently the best player in the NBA, as you will see when you look through my top ten. He has been the best player in the NBA ever since he quit his job at Goldman Sachs, joined the 76ers, and revived his basketball career!

I chose a scene from the movie Ex Machina to analyze. I downloaded it from YouTube, by upgrading to premium temporarily. It took me a great deal of time to get it into Premiere Pro. The tutorials on the assignment bank page have expired, but once it became apparent to me that I needed to convert the download that was stored in my account on YouTube (and not in the downloads in my computer), then I converted it to a mp4 and downloaded it. In Premiere Pro, I imported the file and lowered the audio gain to -10. Then on a separate layer, I did my voice over narration. I really focused on the cinematography and lighting. If I do another one, I will discuss more of what is happening in the story and between the characters. After the first recording of my voice, I noticed that my comments were not in sync with the action in the shots. I did some cutting to see if I could get a smooth track, but I ended up re-recording my voice over and that was the better option.
