Today was another busy and fun day at the Academy. We went over the basics of Adobe's Premiere software, which I can now kind of use. I learned how to layer multiple audio/video/picture files into one shot, how to do various types of transitions between clips, and how to add background music. All of these skills will come in handy when I begin to work with my team on the video project. (I have attached a screen grab of what I worked on today.)
We began to actually work on the video project today, which is exciting. We got put into teams of 3-4 people, and we thought about what topic our video should cover. The two that we came up with were tracking the preparation of a specimen (with a marine mammal concentration), and how the lifestyle of an animal can be deduced by looking at its skull.
I personally am more interested in making a video about the specimen preparation topic, because I think it is more relevant to the work that the Academy does, given the fact that it does have a large collection of specimens. I also think this would be a very interesting topic to work on, and it would mean that we would get to work in the Bone Lab for a little bit (which I would be really happy about).
