Hermann the Jealous Thespian

“Hermann The Jealous Thespian” was created by Paul Griffith and is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. It was created using OpenShot video editor using creative commons resources and homemade actors. Videos from the public domain were sourced from Wikimedia Commons and audio resources were sourced from Wikimedia Commons and CCMixter. Dialogue and narration were recorded using Audacity.

Synopsis:

My goofiest idea was my strongest idea! Hermann and Pierre are two players at a local theater troupe. Hermann has been there longer, but Pierre is a charismatic and kind new lead who commands the respect and admiration of everyone he meets. Hermann seethes and develops a tragicomic plan of sabotage… but will he have a change of heart?

Production software:

I assembled the entire project in OpenShot, which I developed an early preference for in the course while comparing it to Shotcut. The intuitive method of dragging and dropping images, audio, and video in sequence was perfect for this project which called for juxtaposition. Juxtaposed with the old videos of Shakespeare interpretations were pictures and a video of ceramic clowns as actors, taken by me on an Android phone and edited within OpenShot.

One of the greatest challenges was abandoning the attempt to import oval transparencies into the video editor, instead choosing to use rectangular pictures which were only partially saturated in mono to match the background videos. One of the background videos had green, purple, red, etc. film instead of being entirely in black and white. Like Nosferatu, sometimes different colors were used to depict different settings or times of the day. I edited the movies to be uniform in saturation, although they could not be uniform in quality.

Audacity was a good tool for audio recording. I recorded Hermann’s pieces with my webcam mic and Pierre’s pieces with a donner podcard mic which has built in reverb and equalization for variety and clarity of speakers.

Life of a Starving Artist: Working to Live

By Lauren Diaz

Synopsis: A law student struggles to balance becoming a lawyer for financial stability and his passion for painting. He works hard during the day but at night he indulges in his true passion–painting. The story is told from the law student’s point of view.

Content & Creation: For the Final Project, I used a mix of videos provided on Canva and videos that I recorded myself. I also utilized Canva to edit my digital story. If an audio clip was not compatible with Canva, I utilized Audacity to convert the audio clip to MP3. The content I filmed myself includes the law student painting and studying, the law student’s paintings, as well as the law student walking in front of University of Miami Law School. The content I pulled from Canva includes the videos of the alarm clock, the man tying his school, traffic, Florida law books, the professor lecturing, the student taking an exam, and the boy going to bed. The content pulled from Canva was either free on Canva or included in Canva Pro.

Journey time with Falcon

Journey time with Falcon by Dina Hamad CC BY-SA 4.0 Deed. This video was edited through Openshot video editor, finally been exported as H.264 (MP4)

Synopsis:

The Story is about a motorcycle called Falcon telling the story from his perspective how he felt when he lost his rider. Even though it’s a sad story but the whole purpose of the video it is giving advice and warning that speeding up may cause for death, or dangerous health damage.  It’s a true story for my brother who I lost in 2016 in motorcycle accident, and I was seeing how much my brother loves his motorcycle and named it Falcon.

Content & Creation:

For this video I search for different photos for a motorcycle Harley photo and then decided to edit them through Premier photo just to give the photos clearer quality. After Choosing the photos it was challenging for me to find a good fit for songs, so I decide to have a piano music as my background while recording myself telling the story. For recording I used Audacity then edit it inside the website to make sure that my voice is clear without disturbing noises. Lastly, I used true photos from the real accident that my brother done and end up his life both my brother and the motorcycle.
