I thought that this photo represented stealth because it obscured the face and identity of the individual. The photo's success is that it demonstrates stealth and its challenge is that I had to use a found photo because I did not have a subject and the correct lighting setup at home to take a photo like this of my own.

Edited Time
I decided to video my printmaking teacher (with her permission) giving a lesson. I used my phone to edit the video to twice the normal speed. This was so that you could still understand what she was telling you to do but fast enough that your attention doesn't wander. I had never edited video on my phone so this was a bit of a challenge to learn new technology.

Scale
We took advantage of the long hallway to make the students at the end look small and the shoe that was near the camera looked big. The goal was achieved because of this. If I were to do this over, I would have moved the backpacks in the middle ground.

Journey to My Happy Place
After hearing the music of Kristin Lewis, a graduate of UCA, it was inspiring because when I was in 5th grade I told my teacher I wanted to be an opera singer. The music was reverential and thoughtful. It made me happy to listen to it and I decided to create a short film using things that made me happy such as nature, flowers, animals, rain. I also used the video clips of people walking to represent the journey through the things that made me happy accompanied by the Opera of Kristin Lewis.
How you used principles of 4D
The tempo of the video clips is upbeat and fast, just glimpses of beauty. The transition between the video clips is fade out and fade in to create a softer transition than no transition. The tempo of the music is a bit slower and calmer.
I did not create my video to be as long as most but I tried to make it 2 minutes. It ended up being under a minute.
The energy and dynamics of the music seems very reverential to me. I chose video clips that were of subjects that are special to me.
The Opera is sung by Kristin Lewis who will be an artist in residence at UCA very soon. It seemed very peaceful and made me happy. Therefore, I chose video clips of things that make me happy. For example, animals, flowers/nature, and a good rainy day.
I arranged the video clips so that there is a high level of juxtaposition between the animals, nature and flowers, and rain or moisture of some kind. I did this because I wanted to wander between the three subjects fluidly.
Spatial Relationships
The tempo and speed is very fast because I wanted to show as many of the film clips to keep the attention of the viewers so they don't get bored in case they don't like opera.
I chose to use fade out and fade in for the transitions between the videos because I thought it went with the music better than no transition or a harsh transition.

comparing and contrasting the 4D work with 2D and 3D work I've done this year.....
-
There is more time spent on the phone, tablet, or computer than other projects in other classes.
-
I was basically drawing onto the screen with a stylus similar to drawing on paper with a pencil or pen.
-
I found that there was a lot more time involved in 4D work than in 2D or 3D but maybe that is because I did not enjoy 4D as much as the others.
