Week 09: Interactive Video Project – Chloe Chan

For our project, we are focusing on an ambiguous definition of what freedom really means to each individual. We are hoping to create an interactive platform that will allow users to further explore what freedom might mean to different individuals, instead of setting boundaries or any clear definitions as to what it might mean. We start off with a few clips of what freedom might mean to different people and by putting them together in a montage, we hope to set the tone for the user, showing them how freedom presents itself in multiple forms. 

Scene 1

Scene 2

Scene 2 demonstrates the interactivity, and how users would be able to view the videos that will be shot by my teammates and I. I think that we are attempting to use a variety of different angles and shots.

Scene 3

The last scene shows a compilation of present-day issues pertaining to freedom, as a closing scene following the montage at the beginning of our interactive video project.

Week 09: Video project storyboard-Laura Chloe and Hannah

Our project topic is about freedom and we want to make a documentary video project so it is a little bit hard for us to draw the complete storyline. But the project contains three main scenes. Each of us was responsible for one part. The first one is the opening video, which is a montage with a series of video clips that show the history and common understanding of freedom. For example, the physical level of freedom: climbing, diving or innovation of planes and space shuttle and the spiritual level of freedom like the liberty of race, gender, and culture. We will add our own voiceover. The second scene would be the web page with balloons floating in the sky and each ballon will link to an interview video.  The last scene would be the ending video that shows the modern or unique understanding of freedom, which may include a shoot of a dancer and some other combination of small clips and voiceover by ourselves.

Week 09: In-class Exercise-Laura Huang

Our group record a short clip of the water bottle taping the table from two angles.  After we upload the two parts into the Premiere, we synchronized the audio, unlink the video and audio. Then we cut from each clip to get the transition of the angles. I took a video from my computer because I failed to upload the mp4 file directly to this documentation(the image can’t show).
