However, as I grow older and learn to appreciate Buffalo&#8217;s beauty and everything it has to offer, I find myself really happy that I grew up in this amazing city and grateful that I get to call this place my home. When filming the videos that I took in Buffalo specifically for this project, I got to appreciate its beauty and hidden gems even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>REFLECTION:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. What did you learn? <\/strong>For this project I learned how to use Soundtrap for the soundtrack of my video. I have had previous experience with Adobe After Effects and Premiere, yet this was my first time ever learning about Soundtrap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. What was easy?<\/strong> The easiest part of this project was gathering the videos that I wanted to use because I immediately knew which ones I was going to use when I chose &#8220;happiness&#8221; for my emotion. Also, I have been making and editing videos for a couple years now so figuring out Premiere was really easy for me along with having knowledge from different classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. What was challenging? <\/strong>The most challenging part was working with Soundtrap since it was my first time ever working with it. It was difficult for me to make a song that actually sounded well and not just a bunch of random beats and noises. It took lots of tries to get to my final song and it was honestly a little stressful but I ended up being happy with my end result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. How could your submission be improved? <\/strong>One thing I could do to improve my submission is to probably make my soundtrack a little better and longer. I feel like I could have added more beats and add more variety but granted that I have never used Soundtrap before this project, I think I did pretty well for my first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?<\/strong> The only thing I might suggest would be to add links to a bunch of Soundtrap tutorials on Youtube because it was difficult at first, but other than that, I liked this project alot since I love taking videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. How might you apply your knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios<\/strong>? I have always had a love for taking videos and would be thrilled to do it for my future career, so I have the knowledge from using After Effects and Premiere which will definitely benefit me when appling to jobs that require experience with either of those softwares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. How did a specific reading or video inspire or help you?<\/strong> The biggest thing that helped me with this project was watching a ton of Youtube tutorials on how to use Soundtrap. It was really challenging trying to figure it out without any other videos so after I watched a few, I got the hang of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> https:\/\/youtu.be\/aHpP7cHez9 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Making a Simple Fire Beat on Soundtrap\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nQcaMYBis64?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8.
