Filming And Editing

We found time during our class to go up to our gym and start to film. We took multiple slow motion videos of me shooting the ball from half court. It took us a couple of days to make all the different shots that we wanted from the different angles. After we had all of the shots we put them together into a basic very rough draft of our video where we had the different shots that would lead one to the next. We then made voice overs for the shots and to explain the calculations we made.

We then made a montage of professional and college teams making half court shots in real games. We put that in the beginning of our video and then put transitions between the videos we made and the montage. We then added our voice over and put numbers to display the numbers we were talking about. We then added finishing touches and made look smooth and so it all went together perfectly.

Horizontal Velocity: It is the rate of covered distance in a certain direction. In this case the direction is horizontal and parallel to the ground. In our video the horizontal velocity was when I shot the ball and how fast the ball went to the top of the arc.

Vertical Velocity: It is the rate of covered distance in a certain direction. In this case the direction is vertical. In our video the vertical velocity is how fast the ball goes when I shoot it in a vertical motion.

Total Velocity: It is found using the pathagorian theorem and is the last number in the right triangle when you have the other two. In our project it is the total velocity that the ball goes through the air.

Momentum: It is the quantity of motion of an object. Momentum to put simpler is like the amount of "oomph" that an object has. For our project the momentum of the ball is what we were trying to figure out.

Impulse: Is the amount of push that you have for a certain amount of time. For example in our project we needed to try to figure out the impulse of me shooting the ball.
