Library Cinemagraph

Emma Scott

This week, we worked on our first cinemagraphs with actual cameras.  In order for my idea to work, I had to film two different videos with different shutter speeds and exposures since some of the video would be done outside.  Asli, Mr. Gonda and I experimented with the different settings on Wednesday and we discovered that we couldn't get the desired "ghost-like" effect on the camera we were using.  Mr. Gonda and I met the next morning during our free period and used his fancy camera to film both of the videos.  We picked a good time of day to film it because more people were outside then.  Today Mr. Gonda taught me how to composite the videos and blend them properly in order to make it more realistic.  We had a few issues with the video size and the quality of the film, but we figured it out and I think it conveys my idea well enough.
