Headphones music video
The goal of this project was to make a music video. My group and I chose to make a video for the song "Headphones" by Britt Nicole. While we were storyboarding we had the idea to have two separate story lines and have them come together at the end. Then we started to film the video, the biggest problem we had was filming the outside shots. During the week we were filming it was either cloudy or raining when in the previous shots it was sunny. And finally after we finished filming we began editing, the difficult part of this was picking which parts of the song to have in the video and matching them up with the correct shots.
During the process of editing i learned how to adjust the speed of the shot and how to adjust the opacity of a select shot. I also learned how to hold a camera stable without using a tripod. In addition I learned how to collaborate with teams more and how to make it so that we can get the project done in time.
If i could change one thing I would reshoot some of the outside shots to make it seem more realistic. I would do this because some of the outside bullying shots seem a bit odd to me, its a bit hard to explain, i just feel they needed to be better.
Next time I plan to still use more complex camera techniques. I would do this because the look and feel of the more complex shots are better to me than the average techniques.
In my next project I plan to still use the new adjustments I learned how to do in Final Cut Pro, as well as using the more complex camera techniques.
Overall I think that this is a pretty good video, it has more complex camera shots and it has more effects than my previous videos.

Plausable Impossibles
In this plausible impossible Dopey is trying to force water out of his head. Dopey blows on his finger and the water comes squirting out of his ears. This is impossible because no matter how hard someone tried they could not get water to come out their ears the same way that Dopey does in this clip. But this seems plausible because it looks like Dopey is forcing the water out by blowing into his finger which we have all done at one point, so we know that when you do that you have a pushing sensation in your ears.
In this next plausible impossible, Dopey has been trying to catch the slippery soap. There are several instances in this scene that could be considered a plausible impossible. Firstly the soap being so slippery that whenever you try and grab it, it would fly out of your hands. Secondly a piece of soap could not bounce off someone and bounce all the way back inside your mouth. Both of these things seem plausible because everyone know how soap is normally slippery, even though what's happening in this scene is taking that to an extreme.

Both of these things seem plausible because everyone know how soap is normally slippery, even though what's happening in this scene is taking that to an extreme.
This next plausible impossible occurs right after Dopey swallows the soap from the previous scene. Dopey is hiccupping bubbles from doing this which is were the plausible impossible comes in. We know that soap can make bubbles, which is why this scene could seem plausible. But even if you get the hiccups, swallowing soap will not make bubbles come out of your mouth.
The dwarves have now moved indoors to eat their soup. They start to dig in and east their food like animals. Dopey, in this shot, is slurping his soup out of his spoon, and this would be perfectly normal if the spoon wasn't far away from his face. No matter how much you suck, a normal human could not have enough force to make the soup come out of the spoon and into your mouth.
Finally the last plausible impossible, this is in the same scene as the previous one. This time Doc has grabbed a piece of bread and dipped it in his soup, and is now squeezing the bread to make the soup come out. This could seem plausible because bread does seem to have a sort of absorbent quality to it. But under no circumstances could you squeeze the liquid out with enough force that it would appear as it does in this shot.
