Final Exam Preview

1. You can do a lot of things with iMovie, like make commercials, trailers, home videos, and actual videos. iMovie is basically an Apple App that lets you edit videos you film or make a film/slideshow sporting photos you took. You can make 30 second videos to however long you want your film to be be.
There are different effects you can use on your video to add effect, like titles, transitions, and themes. To make a video, you just grab a selected part of your imported video and drag it into the timeline. You can move the clips into the correct order you want. If you would like to add music to your video, you can like your itunes to your iMovie app and just choose your song and choose the parts you want from it, or you can use the sounds that iMovie offers for you for free, and they have a huge variety of different sounds that you can add to your video.
2. I have been using iMovie for 3 years so i know everything there is to know about it, as i like to make videos and was a part of our media production program at Gorzycki. 
3.  Like i said above, i know everything about iMovie so i didn't really learn anything new.
4. Im not really concerned about anything that big except maybe finding out how to use photos to tell a day.
5. Im thinking i will probably do a portfolio on my dads boat. I will show him getting the boat ready, us on the lake, and then him putting it up at the end of the day. 

HDR blog

1. What manipulations to the camera will you need to make to create an HDR image?
I will need to do many photos (like 3 to 9) and shoot them of the same subject with different apertures, shutter speeds, and ISO. Then I would just have to be able to put them all together sort of.
2. What equipment will we use to take this type of image?
We will need a camera, preferably with an Auto Exposure Bracketing function, a tripod, and a computer with the right software, and the website recommends Luminance HDR.
3. What is the reason someone might take an HDR photo?
Someone might want to take an HDR Photo because they want their photo not to look brand, but really beautiful with a lot of different exposures put together. HDR takes an image to a whole different level.
4. What can we expect to happen with the images once we merge them together, what will we see that we might not have seen with just one photo?
We can expect to see a lot of different stuff in one photo, which we will have to smooth out. We will probably also have new colors introduced into the photo that we hadn't seen before, making it look really cool.

The Big Day

A man is trying to get to the wedding of someone he deeply cares for.  He is already going to be late, but there are extra road obstacles during his drive there that he won't be close to being on time. At the church, the bride is wondering where he is, and if he will make it to her wedding, and is becoming anxious and doubtful. Finally, the man gets there, walks up to the doors, and pushes them open. He sees the bride and her groom at the altar: sadness, disappointment, and regret wash over him as he watches them turn to look at him, then look away.

Who- the guy in the car trying to get to the wedding and the bride
What- a wedding is what they are currently doing
When- on the brides wedding day, i don't know the date
Why- they guy really wants to be thee for the weeding, but is going to be late due to obstacles on the road
How- he gets there with his car, so its probably a car commercial

Weddings are a huge deal to most people, especially for the bride. Everything has to be perfect; the bouquet, the bride, and the food.
But its not only the objects and accessories that make the big day amazing, its the people who are there to celebrate it with you.
Tom Saders was invited to his best friends wedding, and knew he needed to be there to support her.
"It was extremely important that i be there, because we have been best friends since we were in diapers, and i just wanted to be there for her," Tom said.
But on the big day, Tom ran into a few obstacles along the drive to get to the church where the wedding would be held.
"I was in my car and things just kept popping up, stopping me and making me take longer," Tom said.
Tom was beginning to get nervous and was anxious about whether he was going to make it.
"I knew that if i missed the wedding, i would regret it my whole life.  After a while, i realized i was going to make it to the wedding, i would just be late," Tom said.
At the church, the bride, Kathy Love, was wondering where her best friend was.
"I was feeling really disappointed in him, because he knew how important this day was to me," Kathy said.
The service started, and Kathy's father, Walter Love, walked her down the aisle to her future husband.
"I was so proud and happy for my daughter. But at the same time i was a little sad, i was letting her go," Walter said.
Tom Saders still wasn't there.
Finally, after the bride and groom had said there vows, the pastor was about to make them husband and wife when Tom got there.  He opened the church doors and stood there looking at his best friend and her groom.
"She looked so beautiful up there, i was so happy, yet embarrassed at the same time," Tom said
Tom Sanders was late to the wedding, and the friends still haven't restored the friendship they had had before that big day.
