Describe the outcome. What did you create, how, etc.? How did you compose your remix? What styles, methods or techniques did you use? What tools and technologies were involved?

I used both iMovies and Premiere Pro to remix the scenes, quotes, images, and a song. I used both because I’ve been using iMovies for a long time so it was fast and easy to deal with simple mixes with it, but I needed Premiere for more complicated and sophisticated implementations and some of the techniques learned from class, like changing volumes of specific parts of scenes to emphasize the quotes, or changing colors within each scene. For most of the simple effects like transitions between two different scenes, adding music, texts, and images in between scenes, fade in and out, or cutting and pasting parts of scenes were taken care of my iMovies.

Instead of simply lining up the scenes I’ve chosen, I inserted an important quote that I thought was worth looking at for 5 seconds, with an image that I thought would best represent each scene, along with an OST from Mulan, “Reflection,” right before each scene. I thought this would let the viewers look at the quote, wonder what it’s about, then watch the actual scene and learn what’s behind those words. I thought this would make them remember the lines more clearly after each scene.
