The aftermath of today left my brain fried beyond belief. Our SA, Zach Guerra taught us some many different things, most of which were foreign to me. We discussed 4 different spaces in terms of filiming: deep space, flat space, limited space, and ambiguous space. I learned so much today that I immediately wanted to rent a camera and start shooting. It was amazing to swallow so much information in one day and be utterly thrilled and excited. I could sense that my classmates were just as eager and I realized that I was in for a long and fun summer.
After our 1hr lunch break, we headed to the editing lab. We had an instructor teach us AVID, an editing software similar to that of Final Cut Pro. All of this of course was new to me so I jotted notes down and listened intently. Our instructor gave us the opportunity to test and play around with the software so Aaron and I first began playing a clip, marking (start-end), splicing, adding and cutting video/audio, and etc. It wad definitely a learning experience for me just being able to recognize each button and knowing their effects. The scenes/sequences that Aaron and I played around with turned out really well in my opinion.
Class ended around 5:30 which left myself and my brain hungry and thirsty. Chinese food mixed with Coca Cola is definitely a good way to get your body functioning again.

Hi Michael. My name is Lisa and I live in Seattle. I found your blog through a twitter search. I'm hoping to attend the Summer program at USC and will be following you updates. Thank you for documenting your experience. I look forward to reading your posts over the next 5 weeks.
