Video One Advanced was pretty much a repetition of Video one, but there were some key differences between the two.  Video One Advanced required me to have a more in-depth knowledge of the iMovie Software, basic knowledge on how to use Adobe Image Ready, and also I had to know how to do some basic filming techniques.  For this project I had little to no worries on what I was going to do.  The answer was very simple, Basketball.  Why basketball, well first of all, basketball season was coming up and I thought it would be fun to exaggerate how a person trains to become the best player on the team, or at least at the position they play.  If there was one thing that hampered me during this project it was that I lost track of time and had to do considerable amounts of last minute work.  All in all I managed to get everything on time.  One of the biggest problems I had in this project was creating the animations.  The first one I did was easy, but the second one took me a class period and a half to do.  This is because I had to edit each little frame of the small movie section I selected.  After I finished editing every single layer, I still had one problem, why did the animation stay the same.  Here is where the all-knowing tech-master Mr. Dierkes came in (AKA The D-Unit).  He told me that I had to turn some layers on and off for each frame, this of course took me some time seeing that I had to go over 100 frames and turn certain layers on and off.  After this problem was fixed I was ready to export my cool animation into my movie.  Which, went smoothly and worked the first time I tried it.  After some basic editing, I was ready to export to QuickTime.  This went smoothly as well, and I got the project handed in on time. I have to say that the thing that I learned the best through out this module was a comprehensive understanding of how Adobe Image Ready works.  I also learned how to create different moods, using different filming techniques.  Such as the Jump Cut technique, or Graphic match technique.
