Wave Warp



We chose the effect Wave Warp from the folder Distort. We could use this effect for various things, the Sine waves work perfectly for a shot meant to be a reflection on water or for her to appear to be in water, and the Sawtooth waves work for a disrupted or distorted effect on a television screen.

Replicate effect



We chose the effect Replicate from the folder Stylize. We liked this effect since it multiplied the subject into a bunch of little screens within the screen. We could see this being used as an effect for a commercial where the subject talks about a good deed spreading and multiplying.

Star Promo

I believe my video should be voted for because I like my use of transitions and the font I chose. I tried to use transitions that I felt would keep the flow of the video going, but not be too boring. Such as when Zach comes on full of energy after the title "Why?", I tried several transitions to see which one would help highlight Zach's enthusiasim. I chose the color red for my titles for two reasons. 1) It's a bright, vibrant color that catches the eye and pops off the black background and 2) it's one of our school colors and I thought it would help with school pride. I enjoyed the font I used becuse it's different and fancy, which evokes a sense of importance and intelligence. I also put thought into where the clips would go and which to use. I had at first imagined to combine tips and importance, but I couldn't get the video to flow quite well enough. So instead, I grouped them together, with tips first followed by the importance of Star testing. I chose to put the "popsicles" bit in last in order to bribe, if you will, the underclassmen. I also chose not to use music so the focus would be entirely on the students' voices and words. And those are the reasons why I believe my video should be voted for, that I can think of right now.
