This video was a little bit different to do compared to others where I was more or less trying to put unconnected clips together but with this one I had to make sure there was a sort of bouncing back and fourth that had to be maintained. I didn't find this to be anything too difficult but I did want to make the clip somewhat funny and not just a cheesy joke. I have really enjoyed working in Premiere and editing videos together to make little stories and jokes.

This was fairly easy to learn and finish. It was fun to expanded what I was doing with editing and learning how to caption videos. Working with effects is fun and adds to videos in many ways and allows me to expand what I can do with videos.
I thought it was fun to learn how to make sure all of the clips were in motion and could flow into each other and ensure there was little to know confusion with what was going on. It also helped me creatively edit clips together when they didn't have exactly what I wanted. Overall it was very fun to learn how to edit and make a coherent story.
Premiere Pro was a little weird getting started but it's been fun to learn and is fairly simple to use. The drag and drop nature of most of the editing is really easy to use and simple to learn. Overall I like using Premiere it's fairly simple to use and easy to learn so far.
This quarter we focused on work in Adobe Illustrator and the tools within it. The first tool we took time to learn was the pen tool. This tool had a bit of a learning curve to it because it was a little weird to use and not always very clear how it worked. Illustrator was a interesting program to learn because it worked similarly to Photoshop but still had many differences that took some time to get use to. I've personally really enjoyed learning this and developing my skills as much as possible.
I made a poster for the original Bela Lugosi "Dracula". I chose a bright red because it really pops off of the all black background as well as the obvious blood relations that are prevalent in "Dracula" and vampire media generally. I used a different font for the title from the rest of the test to make the title even more distinct from the rest of the text as well as give it a gothic feel that connects it to the gothic vibe of the movie generally. I also made the "Universal Picture" text much larger than the rest of the more informational text at the bottom because I feel that Universal's importance to this movie and Dracula as a whole should be respected in some way since this movie and the most popular monster movie's of the time are known as the "Universal Monster Movies".
This was a fun activity that helped further my familiarity with the pen tool. This helped me not only work with the pen tool but also how to use the pen tool in relation with other pen tool creations and ensuring the colors were separated properly and worked together well.
This has helped me get much more familiar with with the tools in Illustrate. This project has also let me apply some of what I've learnt from color theory and design.
Times New Roman was created by Stanley Morison and Victor Larden After Morison had written in to "The Times" complaining about their "out of touch" font. "The Times" then asked Morison to create a new font for them to use as a replacement. Times New Roman is meant to maximize efficiency attempting to be as readable as possible while using less ink than the previous fonts used. Times New Roman should be used in most printed works typically essay's or books. I selected this font because it is something I see all of the time and use regularly and I wanted to learn why this became such a commonly used font and what makes it such a good font to use.
