For the week4 assignment of media one course, we are asked to create a video called self portrait that is to present everything about yourself to others. We have to use software Premier Pro to edit our video.

As for self portrait, my video starts with a title “who am i”, then I try to present several parts about me to answer this question. I divided my video into several parts: photos about my hobbies, video about my favourite food and my usual weekend. Firstly, to explain the four pictures I presented at the beginning of the video, I was playing my guitar, having fun with my friends at beach, feeding kangaroo. Actually, I tried to define myself as out-going, optimistic and energetic through these of pictures. Then I presented my weekend: dressing up myself after I got up, playing with my cat for a while, ready to go outside, driving to the beach, my enjoyable moment at the beach. Lastly, I chose to shoot my favourite food which is all kind of spicy food. In this video, I used song named “we can’t stop” by creative common music, its tune is happy which reflects my mood is delighted as well. Moreover, I used three pieces of title to express myself directly.

When it comes to technically problems I met when I edited my video by using Premier Pro. To be honest, this is my first time that use this software so I found some difficulties. For example, it has too many functions that can be edited into our own videos. In this case, I had to spend a lot of time to be familiar with those functions and symbols of them. Also, I always got in trouble because it is too complicated to operate.

To sum up,  I tried to tell people that I am a optimistic person and I always live on the bright side of life through this self portrait video. It is a very meaningful experience, I believe that I will have improvement when I do next project by Premier Pro.
