Independent Fieldwork: Provide a description of all fieldwork you complete independently. I created a background banner for my YouTube channel. I spent time editing photos and learning how to change the size of photos in order to allow them to fit into the YouTube platform I began to start filming my first video. I filmed a few scenes with the help of my sister. I had to film the scenes and watch them to ensure that everything came out the way that I wanted them to. I began to start planning out my first video by writing out a script. I had brainstormed ideas for weeks prior and then I decided what I wanted to do, for their I scripted out the video and planned the scenes that I wanted to include. I filmed the rest of my first video. I had to learn more about camera placement, sound levels, and angles in order to properly film this video.
Number of Hours 1
I began the editing process of my first video. I was completely blind to how the editing programming worked so I had to learn as I was going. This was an extremely long, difficult, and tasking process. I had to re-film footage because of my lack of experience with IMovie, I lost about half of what I had filmed the prior day.

My friend Maria and I went to the Savers thrift store in Attleborough to film for a video. For this video, I planned to make a montage going into so when we arrived I made sure to obtain all the clips that I needed. In addition, later that day I had to film a try on portion to the video which I showcased all the items that I bought thrifting. In addition, I had to write and film an intro and outro to play at the beginning and ending of every video.

I had to edit all of the footage 6 from my thrifting trip. This was a long process due to the fact that I needed to learn a new skill in order to properly express my vision for the video. After editing, I posted the video.

For a video, my friends and I went to the Quincy Quarries for sunrise. We had to leave extremely early in the morning and had a long drive in order to get their. Once their, I filmed a majority of what I wanted to do but then my phone died because it was too cold and I did not have all the footage I wanted to.
1/10/19
I had to edit the footage from 5 the Quarries. Unfortunately there of was a lot of vulgar graffiti and spray paint at the quarries and I could not figure out how to blur objects, so I could not use a lot of the footage.
