My Humorous Monologue

Some things that I have learned from this project is how to edit videos with the newly improved and updated iMovie. There is a lot of new editing features that I was not familiar to but now I am. Also I learned about comedic timing and how it is very important when you are telling jokes, because if you don't have timing when you are telling your joke your audience probably will not understand what you are saying and they might not get the joke either. Lastly I learned that staying organized in iMovie will help you a whole lot with editing and trying to find what you need. I learned that the hard way.

Pad is the space around an element's content and margins or borders. Also the length or running time in your movie or video. It's extra film that can come before or after your footage.Padding is crucial because if you don't pad then your footage would look choppy and really not put together. Padding is not hard at all.  If you know how to do it. Padding is very important because it will look put together and professional.

My biggest weakness in this project was matching my A-roll to my B-roll. it is very hard trying to make it in sync with each other. But I kinda got it do a little I don't think no one noticed though. Also another one of my weakness was finding good effects and sounds that matched my footage. My biggest strength of all was filming. It was so easy for me because I love filming. Also acting it out was pretty easy to! Some ways to improve is to practice editing in iMovie because I am not used to editing film in iMovie because last year we edited all our film in final cut pro.

Comedy Writing

Having a sense of humor is an important trait to have because if you don't have a sense of humor then I believe that you would take everything someone says literally and thats not fun! Personally, I have a big sense of humor. People with no sense of humor probably have a boring life. Not being a hater or anything but a sense of humor can save your life! If someone lives a life without laughing or giggling at least once in their then thats not living at all! 

Some tips for writing a humorous narrative or a humorous monologue is to just be cautious of what your writing your joke about because sometimes when you make fun of people they can take it to the heart and get very offended, and thats not good. Another tip for writing a joke is to base your joke on something that makes sense and make it about something everyone can relate to. For example "Knock,knock. Who's there. banana. Banana who? Banana apple!" See thats not funny at all!!!. Tip #3 be loose and creative when you are writing your narrative. Tip #4 is to write something thats not just funny to you, you have to relate your jokes to the audience. Lastly tip #5 is to be funny. Honestly I think that being funny is the most important tip ever when it comes to writing a humorous narrative.

My comedic monologue is about my brother and I and how he proved to me that he is bigger and stronger than me. I think my monolouge is funny because it is about my 6 year old brother tackling his 12 year old sister. I think everything about that is just totally hilarious! I also think that it's funny because it is embarrassing and most of the time getting embarrassed is funny to a lot of people sometimes.  

Motivational Poster

Some of the requirements of the motivational poster is 4 Total Images: 3 symbolic images
representing who you are & 1 portrait image of your face, 2 Text Layers: 1 of your manifesto, 1 of your personal quotes. All text has to be kerned in a way that your words fit the whole page perfectly without gaps or holes between them. Your words have to have the triadic color scheme which is one dominate color with two more accent colors. You must have your blending options on. Last but not least you need visual balance. That means that your poster can not look like a unicorn barfed on it! It needs to be appealing to the eye.

The first step to making the motivational poster is to make your personal quotes and your manifesto. When I was done I put them into photoshop and made two text layers a personal manifesto and personal quotes.Then the next thing we had to do was take pictures that made sense and that expresses you and that tells people who you are and what represents you. Then you upload them to photoshop then adjust it to how you would like it. You would now put on your text layers that your motivational and quotes are in. Then we your all done with that you can start getting creative. ther is this tool in photoshop called layer adjustments and that will








The biggest challenge probably was staying organized. I think it was really hard to stay organized because there was a lot of things going on. There was 4 individual pictures, and 2 individual word docs. It may not sound like a lot but trust me it's a lot more than you would think. Especially when You had to make like a billion layers.
