Potrugal Multimeedia 2017

Queima das Fitas in Porto is the biggest University celebration a bit like Spring Break, that lasts one week every year, preparing college students for the upcoming exams.

Queima das Fitas in Porto started, officially, in 1944, taking over  a previous event called Festa das Pastas. Every year, Porto had this party except in the period between 1971 and 1978 and grew considerably in events within the event and on the number of people that attend it. It is held on the first week of May in several locations in town, from Avenida dos Aliados to Queimódromo, close to Parque de Cidade. 

***Week 2 in Porto***

Second week started with managing and picking the right material for the latter work on the project. We hand picked some photos and videos, Lena worked in Photoshop to edit some pictures for a future animation that we intend to use in our video about the Arvore art school. Then we worked together on a video editing at Final Cut Pro. The weather is starting to improve and hopefully we can go to the ocean tomorrow to shoot some time-lapses there. Eventually, we make a final editing and start to add animated bits to it, which will take some time due to our lack of knowledge of Adobe After Effects, but Joao is willing to teach us so we are not worried :) 

That's it for today! Watch my video about the Queima das Fitas!
