Davinci Resolve

Hi friends,

For our last major assignment in the class we will be using Davinci Resolve to create a video tutorial. I have been waiting for this one!!! I had always dreamed of starting a YouTube channel, and I still hope to some day... something along the lines of travel videos. I have made many travel TikTok videos of short trips here and there during school breaks. Investing in a camera and final cut pro is something I hope I am able to do one day!

For this assignment... since I'm not going on a trip beforehand, I thought I would go back to where my dreams to start a YouTube channel started. And that was with makeup tutorial videos. I never mustered up the courage to start making videos... and that was probably a good thing to save myself some embarrassment in the future. But now I am so excited to be able to do it for this assignment!

I have edited some things on iMovie before, and as I stated before TikTok. But I am going to try and give Davinci Resolve a go and see if I can pop out a quick video that compares to some of the YouTubers I watch using final cut pro....however, I do not have an expensive camera... only an iPhone... so bear with me! iPhone has come a long way.

I hope to make a nice intro with music that goes throughout, include a voice over (probably from voice memos as audacity was a bit too complicated for me), and make cuts as I go so the video can flow through a 15 minute process in under 3. I also think it would be great to include text pop ups that list the names of the cosmetics I'm using.

I am looking forward to creating this video!

Peace + Love, Ki

Hello friends, Today I'm going to be discussing the Instructional Design (ID) models we learned about in this weeks class. Keep in mind I have never heard about these types of models before, and I think in general they all provide great frameworks for creating lessons. The Gagnes 9 Events model seems to me like your typical cut and dry lesson planning model. Going through each of the 9 points reminds me of typing up a lesson plan. Don't get me wrong, I think this is a great tool for doing just that! I think it does well in preparing you for instruction. However, I think it lacks the perspective of the students. The ADDIE model is comprised of 5 parts that emphasize's designing instruction for the students rather than just for the learning. It involves analyzing the students before getting into the design which recommends using an objective domain (cognitive, psychomotor, affective). You can decide this based on where your students are at with the learning; if they're ge...

Major Assignment #2: Images

Hi friends! Here are 3 photos I have edited using GIMP! These were taken this past summer on a road trip through BC. I tried to use a variety of tools to match the vibe I wanted to create for each photo...enjoy! This first photo was taken in Victoria BC, China town. I did quite a bit with this photo to give it a vintage film/fish eye lense look. I adjusted the color levels to add more black, and the blue channel to give it a cool tone. I increased the shadows and decreased the highlights, however I added the white point adjustment. I also increased the saturation slightly to bring out all the colors. In filters...-> enhance -> sharpen, I increased the radius and amount to sharpen the details. Lastly, I created a new transparent layer for a vignette. This gave the fish eye effect once I adjusted it to my liking and lowered the opacity. This photo was taken on a beach in Ucluelet. In the layers mode I selected multiply, and the result instantly made the colors in the image vibrant....

Experiences Using GIMP

Hello friends, Since I have always used photo editing apps to to edit my personal photos I thought I would try using GIMP for the same purpose. I thought maybe my photos would turn out better this way. I take my photos on a iPhone, or with film. I chose to edit some of my iPhone photos I have previously taken while travelling through BC this summer. In the past I went all out and used all the tools available in photo editing apps to edit my personal photos. I put out a lot of great images. However, lately I have been getting overwhelmed with the options and usually end up keeping the editing simple! I was hoping GIMP would bring out the old Kianna, but I found it overwhelmed even more. The tools are great, I'm still just working on becoming familiar with what everything does. I feel as though my apps are more user friendly, and GIMP takes a lot more effort for me to edit a similar quality photo in comparison. Peace + Love, Ki
