New Yorkers vs. COVID-19


New Yorkers vs. COVID-19

New York, New York - In New York two families are trying their best to adjust to the new normal. With a global pandemic, the city that "never sleeps" has seem to suddenly fallen asleep. Streets that were once packed full are now a ghost town and this change takes some adjusting for these New Yorkers.

"It's a trying time." says Matthew Deodato, who New York has deemed as an essential worker. "It's something we have to adjust too. How we are going to fare in the future, I couldn't tell you. We take this day by day. We are very careful and cautious and, you know, we hope for the best."

New York has permitted essential businesses to continuing functioning as normal however workers must take precautions. These precautions include wearing protective gear such as masks and gloves while also trying their best to remain at a 6 ft distance from other individuals. Those essentials businesses include operations that fall under healthcare, infrastructure, and many more. You may visit Empire State Developments website to learn more about what businesses are  considered  essential. 

For those New Yorkers who are stuck at home, their everyday life has changed completely. Families are trying to keep busy by occupying themselves with cooking, crafting and playing video games. 

Maria Barone, a mother of four, expresses that having to keep everyone as happy as possible with "a lot of personalities in one household" can be challenging. However, she tries to keep things "light and fun" by playing games, sending videos, and even snapchating.

Still Image Video

Shark vs. Bear The purpose of premiere is to create visuals for certain clips of audio, such as a still image video. I have recently learned about how important visuals and audio can be to a project. Visualization has the power of communicating with the viewer about the topic, which is especially important to those who may speak another language or have impaired hearing. In my final still image project, I tried to visually express what is being said in the audio with the use of animated quotes and images.

Forum 6: Swatchy Schemey

The Image  For this assighment I gained inspiration from my favorite place, my bed! The decorative pillows that are placed on my bed consist of all my favorite colors, which made this project visually pleasing for myself. I based each color I used on one of my pillows. However, I didn't get to use all the pillows since we could only choose three main colors or swatches.  Swatches When I was creating the swatches it was more difficult than I expected. Choosing the first round of colors, as seen in the first column to the left going down, took some time because I had to experiment with different hues in order to find the color that best matched the pillow I was using as my inspiration. However, the difficult part was creating faded colors, as seen in the next two columns, that weren't to drastic of a change from the first color. In order to create this faded effect I had to lower the tint percentages in each box more and more as I made my way to the right. Namepla...

Forum 5: Visual Communication

Overview In this newest rough draft of my audio story I made a lot more improvements. I improved my blog by adding animated text. These animations consisted of titles, quotes, and important points that I wanted to emphasize to the viewers. I was also able to replace pointless images with title frames throughout the audio story to improve the quality. As I continue to work on my audio story I plan to add more animations to the images and the transitions between the images to create a more appealing video.  What I Learned While working on my audio story, I had no idea how to add text and animate text when working in Adobe Premier. After watching the youtube video "How to Animate a Title", I quickly learned how and became a pro at creating titles and animating them. Although I mainly focused on my titles moving from left to right or up and down, in the future I plan to use the opacity tool in order to make the titles fade in and out of the frame.
