Self-Reflection –
1. What aspects of this project were most challenging and how did you meet those challenges?
So I ended up with over 30 minutes of Video to work with. The challenge to this was how to cut it down to just 1 minute. I had to take a long time deciding on what I wanted to show and didn’t want to show for clips. Then I had to make that list of clips shorter and shorter for a long period of time.
2. Which aspects were most enjoyable and why?
The Theme was enjoyable, I always watched meme review and other youtube videos from PewDiePie. So filming me going through Reddit with my own way perspective and reacting to what he does was fun and I was able to just be myself.
3. What were you most proud of accomplishing?
I am most proud of taking 30 times of footage that was needed for the final cut and was able to slim it down to almost the reacquired time for the final film.
4. What did you learn about yourself during this project–this could be about your relationship to people involved, or to your topic, or to the technical aspects, or other things.
When i was recording myself in my own perspective of what a really famous person does almost daily. I tried to mimic him for a little bit. But once i kept going i was able to relax and get some great footage that I was able to use for the project.

Video Analysis –Write a minimum of one paragraphs to evaluate your finished Project 4 considering the following:
1. Camera Skills: How are shots framed? Are compositions effective for the scene? Are shots in focus? Is there a variety of shots?
I don’t have as great of a setup so i had to layer both my camera and what i was looking at. all together so I had to think about the placement of my camera that was on me way ahead of time. So i used a software where i can record my screen and at the same time get me as well on my video cam from my computer. I have a external camera so the quality is better, it was in 720p not the normal high 1080p for web cams, but it was better than a laptop camera.
2. Audio/Music: Is dialogue (if any) clear and does it move plot forward? Is there a music or audio track and does it support the story?
only at the at the intro the beginning was music from a PewDiePie’s intro that i picked out. But when I was talking I had to edit the audio to where there wasn’t any back wash of some low end that my mic picked up that I had to work it out so it was more crisp and clear.
3. Editing: How is pacing of story? timing of shots? doe the edits cohere? Do edits build tension or suspense? Are there any jarring moments?
the edits where built around different meme so each cut was their own meme with me reacting to it. I have it slow so that it doesn’t feel rushed at all. I left the end of the film with a jarring type question so people would have something to think at the end.
4. Overall effectiveness of video and story: Are you satisfied, and if not what did you learn that now makes you want to achieve more?
I am satisfied to an extent, I wish I was able to have it a minute or so longer. But that is just because I had so much footage and was having a lot of fun. Maybe at some point it would be cool or funny to actually make my own full MEME review of my own and post many of them on youtube so many people can see.
