For my project I decided to focus my topic on living away from home. I chose to do a story on how people incorporate their previous lives into their new ones away at college. For the design process I got my inspiration from my friends rooms and how they decorate their desk with pictures from their previous lives at home. The principle of photography inspired me because a picture speaks a thousand words and people can decorate their rooms with memories that reminds them of home. The elements in my design are significant because it makes my project personal and it can vary from person to person. I have always been one to keep tons of photos up of my family and friends, so it was something that I thought would be interesting to explore how other people do as well. Once I had all my videos, I input them into premiere and edited out all the unnecessary parts of the video. This polished my project because it only added the parts that were needed to enhance the video to its full potential.
I took videos of my friends rooms and then interviewed them for my project. My process was not complicated, but I did do a couple different things to try and perfect my video. In my draft story, I realized I filmed the videos horizontally, which cut me out of the screen when I put it into premiere. So I redid my interviews, filming them vertically this time. I used the crop tool to cut parts out of the video that were unnecessary. I put background music throughout the entire video, having it fade in and out in order to hear the interview parts. I also added title slides to show what I would be talking about in the interviews. Saving and submitting my draft post was difficult, but I figured it out this time and was able to submit it to YouTube correctly.
