My MacBook and Me

As you know, my MacBook arrived over the weekend. Since then, we have been inseparable. I'm reminded of the doll that came out in the 80s: My Buddy. I walk around singing the song from the commercial, but I replace "my buddy" with "my MacBook". It goes, "My MacBook, my MacBook, wherever I go, he goes. My MacBook, my MacBook...my MacBook and me." We're so happy together!

I got out of class today at 1pm, because we were supposed to be editing today from 1pm to 11pm. But guess who was already done editing because they did it from the comforts of their own home last night. Me! I was up until 2am editing. I couldn't stop! My movie was coming together so nicely, I just had to finish it. I had the tv on, I was eating and talking to my friend; all of which are huge no-nos in the editing lab at school. This laptop is easily one of the best investments EVER.

The movie that I shot over the weekend is a music video. We don't have any restrictions on what kinds of movies we make; we just have to make sure we meet the requirements. The first movie that we made was to not exceed 1 minute, and it was only supposed to be one shot. It's called a mise-en-scene. With it being one shot, there are no cuts. The camera can follow the action, but there is no cut to this view or cut to another view. What you see is what you get. Our next project was to do an exchange. We had to get all of the shots to make the story go together. Let's just say that was a learning experience. My people just ended up in places. Haha. I won't make that mistake again. The next film was the continuity film. We had to tell a 3 minute story that happened in real time. That one turned out pretty good. The one that I shot over the weekend is my favorite so far. Maybe it's because we got to finally put sound on our films....and I really like the song that I ended up using. Yay!

I was trying to post my first film on here, but after waiting 10 minutes for it to upload, I tried again, and finally decided that I will have to post somewhere else. Sorry! I really wanted to share with you. I'm gonna try and post it on my Facebook fan page.
