                 In this project we had to show two separate actions with a location change in-between. In this project I learned how to select music to match my video so that they had the same sort of mood.  I also learned how to frame different shots to get different views that aren't in the 6 shot sequence. In my next project I will try to get more creative with my shots to show other angles. I also will try to make the video less choppy so it flows smoother to the viewer. To make this video we had to collaborate to make sure all of the shots were framed correctly and that we didn't have any jump cuts and that we had all the requirements for the project. 

                                                             6 Shot System           The first shot in the 6 shot system  is the extra close up. In this shot only the hands are shown. This lets the viewer know what the person is doing ,but nothing else. The next shot is the close up, which shows only the top of the face to the end of the chin. This shot identifies who the person is. Shot #3 is the over the shoulder shot, it shows part of the back of the shoulder and head and this shows what the person is doing.

In the extra wide shot you can see all of the setting and the person only takes up a small portion of the frame. I learned what a jump cut is, and that is where a wide shot and an extr

In this program I used the choose tool, blade tool, and the select tool.  I also used the import and export tool to select sections of my video. Also I used tons of transitions in my video from all of the different amazing dance clips i used.  I chose the hobby dance because I have been a competitive dancer since I was four years old. I have loved to dance since then and I still do it today and I hope to dance for as long as I am able to.
