November Changes to Story

The main tweak I want to make to my project is to slow down and re-record my audio. I have already recorded about three times, but I still feel as though I need to devote more time to slowing down and re-recording a couple more times. I need to sit down and say my story until I get it right. I could also benefit from some image editing in my story. I want to download gimp and play around with that a little bit – I really liked Theresa’s demo of that on Monday. My project can certainly benefit from some image editing that you cannot do in Premiere. I can certainly enlarge some images and play with the brightness of it. But I can also add pictures of people into some of the scenes of New York that I have. This would allow me to show two worlds kind of “colliding” if you will – the world of Ellis Island and the new American age, and today’s modern age. Perhaps this would cause viewers to think about how the first one affected the other, which is what I want. If I slow down my audio, this would extend my project. I may need to look for some new images to add. I know the eagle at the end of my last draft may have not been the best thing to include. But perhaps I can add in some images of “modern America” at the end of my project, as well as some more images of the old life of first-generation immigrants. This would further show a contrast between old and new and how the old contributed to the new.
