Now that I have final cut 7 at hand, I have began to put my project together... Having final cut X helped me to put the order of my images together for the product that I am producing in final cut 7.
I also gave thought about all the text captions that will place themselves with the visual images. I have every part of my typography verified. I have a lot of progress going for the software I have been using. I know how it will ultimately turn out.
Next week, I am gonna aim to have every text caption placed over the suitable images of my project. After having this done, it will help me decide the length (or time) of the images as they flash through the project. Once the duration of the images are concluded in co ordinance with the text captions, I'll be able to see if I should include more pictures than what I already have.
After this finalizes itself, I will begin to work on the motion or movement of the images. The slow pans and the zoom outs. I'm very excited about how it will turn out. I had help from you last class on the audio. This help you gave me made me not have to purchase the music online, which saved some hassle. So anyhow, I'm on a roll and I am looking forward to how much progress will take its course after Monday and Wednesday.

FINAL DOCUMENTATION
This project turned out exactly as I meant it to. Since I have a video distribution channel through youtube, I was able to upload it and embed it into my chronicled blog.
The first step to this media project had to do with choosing the images. It was all synchronized with the duration of the music. I selected photography pictures from my travels and fashioned them into video I was able to put text over. After I knew what images were going to go into the video bar, I gave thought to the order of the images. As soon as I knew how many would expand the timeline, I had 18 different travel locations as video clips.
When I knew what images would go into this, I put them in a thoughtful order. The typography captions and text statements were something entirely separate. I collected passages that people have said about things such as: adventure, scripture, love, dreams, and spirit. Once I had 18 different sayings I put those into a thoughtful order as well. Then I knew what text captions went with what images.
As the videography was in order I began putting text onto the video images. These images where pulled from Ireland, The Virgin Islands, Alaska, and home; Bandon Oregon. As the text were rendering the whole project began to take shape. However, some of the text captions were hard to read due to the white background for certain images. I resolved this by putting 3 to 4 drop-shadows around the words, each of their own angle. This made the typography blend with the video but it also helped the words to stand out so they are easy to read.
I didn't know how to scale a section of footage until this class. Once Robert helped me learn that technique I was able to put motion into my imagery. This wasn't anything I knew how to do before class. But after having done this to the video in the timeline, I changed the direction of the camera movement according to the content of the scenes. Some zoomed in, some zoomed out. They all were motioned in differing directions. I thought it had a subtle flow to it because supposing I didn't know how to make any motion at all - it would have been dull. I also centered the text and typography in different places for the different images.
The purpose of this video is to illustrate the human condition. It is also a personal product that came from things I have seen and felt while I went into the world. If it was easy to travel in an often constant way, I would collect fresh photography so I came do another project similar to this. I think it is a very deep beautiful peice of media. It is for a universal audience. Anyone can listen to it because it is simulated with a gental instrumental.

As For The New Embedded Videos Below...
They are examples of the style of media that I am seeking to make happen in my own original way. I also figured out how to embed the first 3 pieces of media I chose for the 1st weeks assignment.

Project Proposal
My project proposal that I am going to make happen is a montage video. I plan to use the Caribbean Photography as well as photography from my hometown and perhaps photography from Ireland too. I am meaning to use the still images combined with subtle camera movements to accentuate how fantastic it can become. Throughout all the pictures that are captured in the video sequence, there will be text captions that pertain to meaningful outlooks on things such as life, love, dreams, adventure, and perhaps personal proverbs or statements that I feel are worth mentioning or including.
So with beautiful imagery presented from Caribbean and Irish photography, I am meaning to enhance it with slow zooms and subtle camera movement. The music that goes together with this digital media display hasn’t been chosen yet but I am wanting to find something beautiful and melodic to go over with this piece. In Final Cut Pro, I’ll need to learn how to create slow subtle movement with a still image. I really feel that the pictures I will present in this project come from really rare material that could not have been located anywhere else. So I am thankful that I can lend my Virgin Island adventures into something that will turn out awesome.
As for the timeline that I am going to implement into my progress, I know that once I acquire the music I would need, all I would have to do figure out how to create the camera movement for the photography I will use. Once that figures itself out, all I would have to do is edit it and put it all together in Final Cut Pro. So as for the first week of October, I am aiming to have the music ready or at least decided. After having the music decided, the visuals are already at hand. So if I can identify what music I will use by the first half of October, as well as all the visual material readily available, maybe by the middle of this month, I can approach it in Final Cut Pro.
I have already created a list of all the symbolic captions that will present themselves with the visuals. The only thing I haven’t done with the visuals and text captions is decide what statements will go with what pictures I present. But I am going to have that clarified by the end of this week. So after locating the music in the first half of September, I will also give thought to the captions that will go with each individual photo from the material of my travels. Supposing this can all happen this week, next week, or by the middle of the month, I will begin editing. I suppose the only immediate challenge I need to tackle is working with you individually to nail the technique I am incorporating into this media piece, the technique of slow subtle camera movement for the still images. So perhaps by the end of this month, it will all come together and create a similar feel as the videos that I posted from the first blog entry. I am looking forward to seeing how it will all turn out.
