MP4

For MP4, I chose to film on my front porch. normally after a long day of class, I like to sit out there and take a second to think. It gives me a chance to unwind and reflect on my week. On a normal day, I hear the sounds of cars going by and depending on the weather, I can also hear wind blowing or precipitation. On this particular day, I could hear the pitter patter of rain and the splashing of water as cars drove through large puddles. When I first sat down on the porch, the rain was really relaxing to me. I felt like I could've sat down and fallen asleep. The splashing of water was soothing and it felt nice to sit down for a little bit and throw worry out the window. By the end of my visit to this place, i felt refreshed and renewed. I was ready to tackle the rest of my week and look forward to the weekend. The emotions I wanted my final piece to express was a bit of suspense and thrill toward the beginning and then a calming feeling by the end. I wasn't totally sure what I wanted to do with this piece so I kind of learned as I went. Overall, there were several happy accidents throughout where I added a sound effect or instrument and it seemed to fit well. This experience was satisfying because I learned how to work with both iMovie and Garage Band. Also, I really enjoyed the freedom to make what I wanted, which made my possibilities endless. I also really liked my final product and the pictures that went along with it. Overall, I was very satisfied with this experience and I hope to work with these programs more in the future.
