This week I took a new set of pictures and videos using a Canon EOS Rebel T7 that I rented from the ATC. There were definitely some more lessons learned here. The hardest part was getting the shot to autofocus in the dark. I took photos and videos over a couple evenings and I struggled the first night to be able to get decent focus. After consulting with my photographer friend, he suggested that I manually set up the focus and to not readjust it in between shots. This ended up working! The end product will not have consistent lighting and photo/video quality, but I don’t believe that will be too distracting.

The goal of this week is to practice how the final product will be presented. That means figuring out the packaged product I would like to bring to class. My final project will be in the format of a video that will show the process of creating the photos, followed by the final edited photo. I have already practiced with editing photos with Adobe Lightroom, so I went through some basic Adobe Premiere Pro video editing tutorials, and here are my end results.
