Michael Chang – Representing Others

Representing others – shoeshttps://netfiles.uiuc.edu/mchang3/art%20250/shoessss%20mike.mov?uniq=-zbj6btover thanksgiving break i was able to capture the shoehead phenomena at my high school. i was not able to use my actual voice when me and my friend previously interviewed students at my high school. i dubbed my voice afterwards and the my voice does not sound as ambient and loud when recorded on a mac computer mic than the students i interviewed. i was able to add some funny comments though too bad i didn’t do it when we interviewed the students live. this video toook a loong time to do because of the re-recording of my voice. i wish i had added some more shots of shoes or played on the act of someone stepping on someone’s shoes more.

Michael Chang – Visual argument with labor union

Visual argument with labor union  https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/mchang3/art%20250/Visual%20Argument%20Contracts%201.mov?uniq=nfb7id   This was one of the tougher videos because it was 5 min long. i spent a total of about 10 hrs working on this project no including filming. the interviews i did in one take. and finished filming everything the day the video camera was due. soo i didn’t get to fix some things by getting more video footage during the editing process. i had a hard time finding the three pictures that i did but i found them on the daily illini webpage and google. i realized later after the interviews that i shouldn’t have said uh huh and agreed with the interviewee WHILE they were talking as a i realized later how hard impossible it was to edit two people talking simultaneously on imovie.  i also wished my questions were more clearer

Michael Chang – Representing Myself

Representing myself 1 min https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/mchang3/art%20250/Representing%20myself%20working%20out.mov?uniq=nfb7i7in this video i tried to show myself working out. the is a representation of what i like to do in my spare time. the hard part was finding someone who was willing to video tape a whole workout session. i decided to speed things up in the video so it wouldn’t be boring watching me do the same routine over and over. 

Representing Others/Visual Argument: Salt & Light

https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/tlee22/www/writingwithvideo/Interview%20Salt%20%26%20Light%20QT.mov

This is probably the most difficult project for me. Initially, I interviewed Nathan and due to using a condenser microphone and a weird microphone setting on the camera, I ended up having 45 minutes of footage with no audio. Obviously, since this was an interview, that was basically a huge waste of footage and I had to do the interview again. This was very disappointing because I felt that the interview the first time around went extremely well and I was happy with what I had. Unfortunately, the second time around did not go as well as the first time. It was a little bit more rushed and the follow-up questions were probably not as good. It was difficult to emulate what I had the first time around. I was able to utilize some of the footage from the first time around and just put different audio in the background. I felt restricted in what I had because the footage I had was limited. I did what I could with what I had and felt if I had more time and more footage, it would have been better. I hope the content and the message of the video speaks louder than the actual technical aspects of the video. Although it did not turn out as well as I would have liked, I am happy with what it turned out to be.

Chris Bruch Final Project

In this video I interviewed my roommates about a tornado that hit the town of Granville Illinois. At the end is my argument portion of the video it is a little short and kind of weak. I am happy with the representing other portion though. I also said it was April 20th 2007 but it should say 2004
