The End

Well I guess I'm officially done this project. I was only able to make and edit one video, but I wouldn't have had much time to do another one. All around I think the project went well. I was able to learn enough through the past couple months. I wish I was able to do more with my mentor, but he wasn't exactly needed throughout the whole project. I was able to use YouTube videos frequently to figure out chord structures. I found the videos very useful because they were easy to follow. Part of this project was to find biblical through lines in our projects. I'd have to say creation enjoying was a huge part in this project. I was able to use Gods gifts that he has given me to be able to play musical instruments. Beauty creating and God worshipping were also incorporated in my project. Overall I think the project went pretty well. If I could go back to the beginning of the year I probably wouldn't have picked this project again just because I didn't think I put enough effort into it. I was as motivated to work on improving my piano skills as much as I would have hoped. Anyways thanks for listening to my blog and maybe I will be making another one in the future!

Almost The End

Hey guys,
Sorry I haven't posted in a long time, but I've just been really busy. Well a lot of things have happened since the last post. First off, trying to find a good video editing software that's free and that isn't just a video trimming tool is harder than you'd think. First I found one called Lightworks. I is actually all around a really good editing software that is completely free, but there are some major bugs. I tried to put my media on my document but the audio was messed up and didn't sound like actual recording. That was obviously a huge problem so I kept looking for other software. I could honestly not find a single editing software that would work for me. Finally I had sort of given up on the fact that I was going to find a software when I thought maybe I'd look through my computer just in case I had a editing software already on my computer for some reason. When I did that I found Adobe Premier on my computer. I have no idea how it got on my computer because to get that software you need to buy it and I know for sure that I never bought it. So I was pleasantly surprised to find a software that would work for me so I was finally able to edit my video. I actually sort of enjoyed editing my video and figuring out how to use the software. I mean Adobe Premier is a very hard software to use because I found it quite confusing. My video didn't turn out the way that I pictured it would turn out because I wasn't able to line up the audio perfectly, so in some parts of the video the audio sounds weird because it doesn't line up quite right. I was a little short on time so I just decided to upload it anyways, I think if I had more time to edit I would have been able to make a better video in general but it is what it is. So here is the video.



Well next week is the week that we have to present these projects to the class. I really wish that we had more time with these projects because if I had more time I feel like I would have been able to learn so much more than what I did. I mean it's not like I didn't learn anything but I didn't have much time with my mentor because he just wasn't needed as much as I thought he would be. I'm also sort of glad that this project is almost over because this was harder than I thought it would be. I really enjoy music, and have for a long time but I just don't enjoy playing piano as much as I enjoy playing drums. Reading notes and stuff is such a pain. When you play drums you can basically do whatever you want. Anyways, all around this project was as successful as I hoped it would be, but all around it was something that was decently fun.
