Blog 3: Things go well10/18/2022 This week things went fairly well unlike the last two weeks which means I can go more into what I was doing and not the problems stopping me from doing what I wanted. Despite my not getting as much done, what I did get done was very important and will lead me into doing more. The First thing I will go into is that I was able to finally get good editing software that worked and didn’t have some huge issue that made it unusable. The editing process that I go through is fairly simple though I didn’t have enough time to fully do it with the last video. First I will go through the entire video and take out parts that I don’t think would do very well in the video. Next, I will look back and do little edits to make the video just a little more entertaining for the viewer. After I think I am finished with the video then I will put it on my drive and prepare to upload it to YouTube. My second favorite part of the process would be the making of the thumbnail. The software I use is none other than Google draw which plays perfectly into the design philosophy of my thumbnails. I try to make my thumbnails so purposefully bad that it’s funny and therefore catches your attention so you will watch it. When making the thumbnail I first get a background image and then look in my meme folder then and add whatever stock image I can find, yeah it’s not that complicated it takes me less than 5 minutes. The only other thing that I can talk about is the video recording itself which I covered in the other blogs. What I will always do is get my friends together to make the recording actually enjoyable as I think a video is much more watchable if there are other people in the recording having fun and making jokes with you. My friends and I try to filter ourselves when playing a game but it’s not always easy when you’re getting surrounded by enemies at the end of a level, so there are a few slip-ups. This week was a week where I have not that much to talk about but to me, that is a good thing because that means not much went wrong and therefore I didn’t suffer as much making my videos. Perhaps next week I can talk specifically about what I was doing in the video and my thought process on the editing of that specific video.

From the little bit of the video I watched everything was wild, especially that drawing board lol. That game also looks pretty fun, I might have to try it out. Lastly, good luck with your trash teammates.
