The Final project

When I reach the Final Project, it is the perfect timing for me, because at that time, I will go to Chicago. So the first thing come to my mind is recording the process and share some experiences when I am in Chicago. Thanksgiving Day and black Friday, which give me a prefect chance to do this project. At November 21th, I went to the airport and started this journey. I hate someone around me use video recorder to record everything. So when I recorded something, I did it conceal. This is a reason some shots were a little bit shake. Everyone said that Chicago is a very beautiful city. As for this point of view, I cannot agree more. That is the America in my mind when I was in China. I really like that city. I spend many time hang out with my friends, most of time we were in the Michigan Ave, so I took many video about Michigan Ave. I remember one interesting thing; there are many carriages which lead by a real horse, most of time they moved with a really slow speed. The result of this slow speed was many cars fall behind these carriages and kept push horn. So I also took a video about these horses’ carriages. At the last night, one of my female friends came to found me. We went to a big mall, one thing shocked me. I can never imagine Lego can build such big building. So we went into that Lego store and took some video. Then we have chance to eat in the most delicious fast food restaurant. Then I must go back to Columbus in the second day’s morning. When I came to Chicago, I took some videos on the airplane, such a beautiful night view. In order to corresponding, when I came back to Columbus, I also took the view on the airplane. One big event occurred in the day I came back which is we won Michigan at that day! There were many people around street and campus. Everybody was exciting. At the last of the project, I took video about the getting up situation which indicates that a new school week will come.

Before I make the project, I think I will spend many time in Purdue University. However I did not go to that university. I also think that I will take many beautiful buildings, but my friend and I both are not that kind of person who likes to go to scenic spots. So I missed many types of scenery. I imagine many situations which I would like to record. Such as airplane cross the clouds, or many expensive cars cross the roads. The project in my mind is quiet beautiful and delicate.

During the making process, I feel a little bit regrets. I think if I took more videos this situation will be better. There are many symbols of Chicago I did not record. However, I still feel quite comfortable with the thing I record. It is reality and do not like some official traveling TV program. I feel very satisfied in one shot which is the Lego toy with many heads. This video create a relaxed atmosphere, because I just record things which around me, it closer to the reality. And the views I chose is unique all these series features make this video cover with free. The music I choose also very quiet and very suitable for this video.  

After I finish this video I could stop blame on my friend who helps take the videos. It has some uncomfortable feeling because some of the shots are really unstable. But for the most part, it is alright. I tried best in this project, it let me understand how difficult for a person to make a brilliant video. Because the imaginations always far away from reality. Now I have more experiences about how to make video, if let me go to Chicago again, I will improve more. But at this time, I tied and did it the best way.
