Revision Plan

I feel like my story has grown and developed a lot since the beginning of the semester. But i am still having some issues with the way my story is being perceived. I think the problem might be that I need to add a more personal touch to the story. Adding still photos was succesful in representing my overall story and concept but I feel that by adding videos and personal photos I can create the story I am envisioning.

I think my audio part is pretty set and I am happy with the way it turned out but I am going to re-record my voice and take out some unnecessary words. After looking at my transcript, I believe I am using the word "and" a little too much so I am going to get rid of all the unnecessary "ands."

Although I want to add personal videos I definitely still want to keep some still photos in my story. I have recently learned how to create the Ken Burns pan and zoom effect in Premiere Pro so I am going to implement my new found knowledge to add effects to my images and give them life.

I am also going to make some technical changes to my story and the way everything is layed out. My story is a figurative metaphor so I want to split my story into parts. The first part where would be the literal representation of the story I am telling and then I want there to be an abrupt transition so that the second half can be easily perceived as the metaphor. Another thing I am adding is short clips of my life to represent the whole metaphor of "going through life" and "growing up." I am using my phone to take quick videos of my day-to-day activities and then I am going to import them into premiere and edit them so they flow together nicely. I believe by adding these elements to my story I will be able to finally create the story I have envisioned.
