I think we can all agree with Kanye right now... Step 1: Inspiration I chose to do this as my meme because this is how I feel everyday past mid-November. Walking to class at 7:45 a.m. suddenly feels like I'm charging through a blizzard, my lips are chapped, and I need to wear multiple jackets/sweaters to maintain a functioning body temperature.  Step 2: Photos                       + I chose Kanye West because he is known to possess a "pissed off" look in many of his photos. I thought his facial expression accurately portrayed how I feel when it drops below 60 degrees. I also feel like I'm living in photo #2 when I'm walking around campus towards the end of fall semester and at the beginning of spring semester, despite the fact there has yet to be a single snowflake in High Point, NC.  Step 3: Editing!                           ...

I downloaded four emoji png's that described four of the students in the video. With each student and emoji, I utilized the editing/effect controls in Premiere. With that, I played with tools such as position, scale, and opacity for the emojis. In order to place specific effects on specific frames, I used the razor tool to single out one clip at a time. It made it easier on me to focus on one scene and the effects that I applied to it. I slowed down the scene where she flips the bottle, for dramatic purposes, by clicking "clip" then "speed/duration." From there, I was able to change the speed from 100% to 50% in that one specific scene. I learned that from the "How to create slow motion effects" reading. One scene, where I placed multiple emojis, I had to create a new sequence and place the three different question mark emojis ...

For my Blog post, I decided to use the iconic, "look at all those chickens" video. I downloaded the original video as an MP4 and imported it into Premiere. I then clicked the M button in the A1 area so the original sound would be muted. I then downloaded an MP3 of the birds from "Finding Nemo" saying "mine, mine, mine" over and over again. Once I lined up the clips in an appropriate manner using my selection, razor, and marker tools, I left in the beginning of someone saying, "Oh would you just-" before inserting a sound effect of a censored bleep noise to give viewers the impression that the little girl was cursing at the birds. I had a lot of fun with this project and feel like this is a skill that can be used in the future! youtube link: https://youtu.be/OHZAQ3mXTXg
