Jorge Bay in a Day from mistermark on Vimeo.
On my Bay in a Day video I have taken the chronological approach. I have dedicated myself to making the video on a 24 hour scale, from the morning until the night. My theme is time, which can be reflected upon the progression of visual light, up until utter darkness on the city of Puerto Vallarta. I have accomplished this by adding several photos from different places or keypoints on Puerto Vallarta. I also considered other themes for my video, like a more civilian approach to Puerto Vallarta, what do they do, and where; I also considered making my video about only a quick journey through Vallarta as if touring by car. Although I did take some photos out of my car, many of the photos I took were taken on foot, which really got me tired.The activity did come out to be a truly fun one. The process however, was complicated and quite the bumpy road. I first of all took all the photos throughout a period of three days on a long weekend, going all around the city. After that, I selected my song and decided for the theme. At last, I used Movie Maker to put my whole video together, from the photos, videos, music and at last, animations and transitions. Probably one of the issues that I encountered was the timing on the images and transitions, since transitions really mess up timing on your pre-timed photos. So, I had to personally had to deal with this issue by changing the preset time on every single transitions and simply put them all again. Today, I exported the video file and I am practically done with this, rather long activity.
