3. My video is very nonlinear. I basically used the way my thoughts run through my head when compiling sound and video. I tend to bounce from topic to topic with no regard to logical order when I let my thoughts go where they want to.

Audio #1: Mash Up Assignment

Link to .mp3 on Soundcloud: Women's Work

(album cover and self reflection in progress, sorry it's taking me so long)

 I'm pretty happy with how this song came out. One of the hardest parts was finding more dialogue to mix into the music. I couldn't seem to get many that would fit together with the rest of what I had. I also wasn't sure about whether or not I had the pop song layout right. I made sure it wasn't just the same thing repeating over and over though. I really enjoyed making this, though. It was really interesting to figure out how the loops and sound effects would work together. It was tough sometimes to make it all sound uniform but it was nothing some volume fading and a little overlapping couldn't fix.

Set 2: Face Composite

I used the lasso tool to take different pieces from each person's face to put in the composite. Each photo in the set of 5 has red circles around the parts that were put on the center photo. I mostly used the patch tool and a soft eraser. I also used the healing brush tool, the clone stamp, and changed the color balance on some of the facial features. I had a few other photos that I used but it was mainly trial and error. Certain things didn't line up or looked very wrong, proportionately, with the rest of the face. I had each person stand in front of a white screen and shot them all at the same exposure. I tried to make sure they were all facing forward but there was a slight amount of tilt in some faces that wasn't terribly hard to fix with some rotating. I probably could have made the eyebrows blend a little better with the skin and also should have tried a few other eyes. Challenging myself a little more could have been a good idea with different skin tones and genders as the final product has girls with mostly the same skin color with minimal variance. I think the lips and nose were incorporated the best out of all of the features I added. They worked really well with the original face yet still made something seem slightly off.
