Capture the Fall!

            A few weeks ago Mr. Mayo gave us the "Capture the Fall" video assignment. I thought that this sounded like a fun project, and I was excited to see what I might do with it. After receiving the assignment, I slowly started filming for it. I got a few shots here and there on the weekends, including a few of me riding my bike and helping my dad rake leaves. I liked my shots, but I couldn't really think of a common theme. Yes they all represent fall, but nothing more than that.
             So, when my mom told me today that we were going to go walk among the memorials in downtown DC, I decided to bring along my phone and film our walk. I was really happy with my different shots, so I got rid of all my other ones and decided to make my video about the fall in Washington. Here's the video:

                Here's a quick description of each of the shots:
-Trees we drove by on our way there
-A pan of the Teddy Roosevelt memorial
-My family walking by yellow trees
-The Tidal Basin
-My sister blowing a dandelion
-A waterfall at the Roosevelt memorial
-The sun
-Walking by the changing leaves against the water
-The sun and a branch on the water
-An airplane flying over the Jefferson memorial

           I edited my video using Wevideo, which was relatively simple. For my 5x5, I edited on youtube editor, and wevideo was a bit different. There were a few more tools and option than on youtube editor, which made me happy. I liked using the transitions to make each shot flow smoothly. I also found the music right there on wevideo in public use. I thought that the music went well with the video, and makes it better.
        My personal favorite shot is the last one, where there is an airplane flying over the Jefferson, creating a silhouette against the colorful sky. I think my video captures the great weather that is present during the fall, and the changing leaves, which are what most people think of in the fall. Overall I'm happy with my video and I think it came out well.
