Today, I was asked to take different shots and combine them using transitions. For me, this was a bit challenging due to the editing portion of this assignment. I chose to use the program Capcut in order to edit my videos, however, I had to learn how to use the program and the tools within the software. Although it took a while, I enjoyed the learning process. I made three videos that demonstrate the use of transition and how they are able to capture different emotions within a scene. Cut Shot: Although this is a simple and easy transition, it helps to establish the setting. I took videos of different parts of my school and used no effect to go between the shots.

       Watch a movie of your choice and take notes on specific aspects and how they affect the scene/story. One of the most fun assignments I had in a while.       Today, I'm going to pick apart the 1998 movie The Truman Show , starring Jim Carry. The movie focuses on Carry's character, Truman Burbank, who is watched by the whole world since the day he was born. Although his world appears to be normal, like having a family, an office job, and living in a civilized town, everything is made up. But Truman does not know this. Throughout the movie, Truman begins to understand the truth of his existence and tries to break free from this TV production. This movie, in my opinion, is well done and always kept me on my toes. One aspect I enjoyed throughout the movie was how the use of camera angles, transitions, and movements all helped in creating this deranged and "something isn't right" feeling.  First Scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6U4-KZS...
