Working towards the goal

Well, another semester of my capstone is off to a bang up start. I still don't have consistent internet access so my blogs are going to be patchy at best. I'm continuing my work on last semester’s project as I previously stated. It’s going alright so far. All my footage is still in usable condition so I don’t have to reshoot anything which makes me extremely happy. In addition to that, I received footage of the final production with all the choreography and costumes. This allows me to splice in this new footage into what I’ve already got to help showcase the finished product.

My editing is looking nice at this point. I’m slowly putting Jakes voice from his interview in the background of the opening sequence in order to introduce the viewer to him a little quicker and help fill in some of the dead audio space I unfortunately had last time. I’m also doing my best to clean up a few patchy spots in the audio track to make it smoother to listen to. It’s my hope that I can get a nice smooth audio track with no pops or hisses and very little background noise. This allows the viewer to focus on the video as a whole and not get distracted by things in the audio.

I’ve also started to find a design for a business card that I’m happy with and feel represents me and what I’m capable of. So far I’ve found three possible designs and I just need to settle on one. It’s important to choose the appropriate design for a business card because this is part of your introduction to the professional world. A childish card can have a negative effect on a prospective employer’s decision.

Hopefully by the time I finish out the semester, I will have a product I can be proud to have made that looks professional enough to help me locate a job after school and be shown as an example of what to do for future classes. With any luck this semester will help me get ahead of people in the job market and make any future positions more secure.
