procedure video reflection

Procedure Video Reflection

        Our first assignment for the year was to create a 30 second to 1 minute long video over a procedure that is done in the school setting. We got to pick groups of 2 to work with us on the video. Once I got into my group, we came up with the concept for our video and put it into a storyboard which we then got approved by Mr. Cooper. After the storyboard was made, we decided on a day to film. We ended up being able to film all in one block period, which was helpful so we didn't have any continuity issues. The final thing we did was edit using Premiere Pro. Since we were all required to edit our own video. I was able to learn some new things about the mechanics of the software that I had never known before. I also learned how important it is to keep things on schedule, because if you get off schedule it can make everything fall behind significantly.

           In the future, I will try to work a little faster on getting filming done, so their is plenty of time for editing. We as a team also needed to work on having more close-up shots in our video, because only about 20% of our video had close-ups. Some things we did well was continuity, and getting all our edits to be clean and not choppy. These are both things I will make sure I do again next time. Overall, I'm pretty happy with this project and think I put forth good effort and was able tp learn some useful things.

2nd semester final

4th Quarter Reflection

        

Our product we chose to make is called Live Stickers. Our company name was Imagination Station.Basically the product is stickers that after sticking on a hard surface can come to life, providing hours of fun.For this reason we decided to make our slogan "Pick,Stick,Live."

         We first made our commercial for the product. We took quite awhile deciding what the plot would be and filming so their was little time for editing. Because of this only 2 out of our 4 group members edited since we needed people also working on the graphics which we did next. In the graphics section I helped make the coupon and come up with concepts for designs. After that we went to animation and my teammates worked on sketch up and the animations for our video and I designed the website and made all the content for it.

        When it came time to present we felt prepared, but after seeing other groups go, we didn't because we didn't have a script written like many teams did. Ultimately, our presentation went pretty well for pretty much improvising the entire thing since we just had a basic outline of what to say. I think the only thing that would've taken our presentation to a higher level  was the use of some humor.

         I learned many things through this project. I learned a lot about time management primarily. It was something we sometimes struggled with as a group and I learned the importance of keeping on task and completing work thoroughly. Technically, I learned a lot about the Dreamweaver software since I spent a good chunk of my time on it and designing the website.

    Overall,I'm pretty happy with how everything turned out. I'm glad I got to do this project so I could  learn some valuable skills to take with me to future endeavors. It really made me excited to continue with graphic design and video next year!
 I think I've mostly used my time pretty well this year.Sometimes I did't and my projects suffered for it though. I almost never had a time that I finished early. If I did I looked back over my projects and edited anything that could've been made better.

       I've learned that my strengths in ecomm are editing videos and making websites.I've learned I don't have much of a knack for animation. I also have learned I need to improve on my procrastination and poor time management if I want to be successful. I tried to focus and not talk to friends to improve this area.

      In conclusion my favorite parts of this semester were finding my talents in video and web and making so many new friends through collaboration and teamwork. My goal for next year is to keep getting better at video and time skills. I'm excited for my sophomore year and all that I'll be able to grow in next year.

Apple Observations

The apple looks like it would taste really good.It looks crunchy and sweet but with a hint of tartness.I think it’s a honey crisp apple.It’s making me hungry looking at it.You can tell this is an expensive and high quality apple.

6 shots

                                       Wide Shot(The subject takes up the full frame, or at least as much as comfortably possible.)

Over the Shoulder(Looking from behind a person at the subject.)

Extreme Closeup(The ECU gets right in and shows extreme detail.)

Extreme Wideshot(The view is so far from the subject that he isn't even visible. Often used as an establishing shot.)

Medium Shot(Shows some part of the subject in more detail while still giving an impression of the whole subject.)

Wideshot(The subject is visible (barely), but the emphasis is still on placing him in his environment.)

Quarter 2 Reflection

1.I think I am a lot better at graphic design than animation.I'm more creative than tech savvy so it's easier for me to design.I'm excited for video production and to see if I'm good at that.

2.I need to improve on using different programs and understanding them.I would like to make more clean and professional looking projects.I also need to time manage better.

3.I like doing sketchbook projects the best out of everything.I discovered that drawing is something fun for me and I would like to continue that.

4.I would try and do a lot better on my house project for animation and get the animation part of it finished.I feel it was not my best work.

5.I learned a lot more about what all goes into logos and animated movies and how it's much harder than you would expect.I also learned some good skills on communication and leadership.

6.My goal for next semester is to learn as much as I can about video software and how to use it.I hope to also keep my A and to keep loving this class.I am overall very excited of the rest of my e9 experience.

Web Design Questions

A.The process for this project was watching a series of six 15 minute videos and following the instructions.We used dreamweaver for building our website.It probably took me about 3 or 4 class periods to complete.

B.I made sure I got going on all of the videos and did the instructions as the video told me.I tried to get two done everyday.

C.Some of the things with coloring were a little bit hard for me.Overall,I thought this was our easiest project this quarter so I didn't have too many issues with it.

D.I learned a lot about what all goes into designing a website and how dreamweaver works.I also learned about code and that to be a web designer you have to know at least a little bit about how code works.

E.I liked doing this project and have a good outlook on the experienceI would probably enjoy working on something like this again.

F.
