Abstract for Media Final: Marist, Welcome to My Crib!
My project “Marist, Welcome to My Crib!” is a play on the original MTV show, “MTV, Welcome to My Crib!” The goal is to show some spunky stuff that I have in my room that you probably don’t in yours. It’s a blind-folded (yes I actually could not see) comical quarantine-style rendition of some oddities I keep around. I videoed the project on my phone, with it leaned-up against a brick that used to belong in the Lower Fulton Townhouses at Marist. After recording all the clips on my phone, I uploaded them to Google Drive so that I could easily download them into a previously designated system folder. The videos were imported into Adobe Premiere, and from there I snipped them accordingly to make a succinct yet appealing conglomerate of the five main things I was showing: my books, polaroids, snacks, wall phone, and kangaroo paw. I then wanted to tie in Adobe Audition, so I muted the video’s audio and did a voice over. By using my phone, I was able to record voice memos that would be uploaded to Google Drive, and then again zipped and downloaded on a previously designated system folder. The audio was harder to do than the video, because I had to match the clips up perfectly to the sound so there was a good flow. Many times, I had to cut parts of audio, or retake audio recordings entirely to make it work. At this point, my audio was as close to perfect as it would get, but there were still some holes where there was no sound to the video. To get rid of these awkward-ish bits, I downloaded a free-to-use, not copyrighted music sample from the Youtube Audio Library. After importing this into the Premiere, I cut the parts I wanted and strategically placed it at the beginning of the record playing, and had it end just before my final words with a nice fade out tool. I then had to fix the volume for both audios (me talking and the ambient background music), making the ambient music sample at a lower decibel than that of me talking over the video. Finally, to try and spice up my video a little more, I imported some meme-worthy sounds. This gave my video a little extra je ne sais quoi that was lacking. After all of this was completed, I took pictures of some of the props I used in my video and uploaded them to my computer. From there, I used Adobe Photoshop to make a simple yet interesting cover poster for the video. Taking all of this, I went to my WordPress site “PopKornPop” and uploaded it to the tab designated for my Final, where you are now! I hope you enjoyed it. Prf. Adam, if you are reading this, thank you for the skills you imparted throughout the course, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
