AB Sequence

The 6-shot system is a great way of making a scene more dynamic. It gives filmmakers options when they are out of ideas for shots, it can make a difference in turning a boring conversation scene into an adventure of tension building or mood switching. Film sequencing helps a lot with mood as well. Imagine being able to switch around shots and completely change the mood, or the feeling, of the scene. It is magical.



It was hard for my partner and me to come up with ideas we both liked at first but then after bouncing ideas off of each other, we decided to stick with a sort of ninja theme. With that in mind, it was pretty easy to make the storyboard. We decided to do really dramatic moving and sliding shots which was really hard considering that we were limited to a tripod but the shots, for the most part, turned out to be pretty okay for being handheld, so the hardest part for us would have to be getting all of our shots the way we wanted them.

During the editing process, we realized we didn't get enough to even make a one-minute video. I had to compromise. I combined my critical thinking and editing skills together and voilà! Why not add a 20-second meme to fill up the time gap? A perfect idea! I think it made the project more interesting and unique. Now obviously if this were a project being shown to professionals I probably wouldn't have added it but, I wanted it to at least be a minute.

My partner provided great input for everything we did in the filmmaking process, however, I do feel like we could've done way more than what we did. We could've displayed more of the storyline and took it slower. I will remember that for the next team activity.

Red Ball Projects

This project was to use Photoshop to make frame by frame animations with a red ball bouncing. To get used to the software, we just did one bounce in place. For the next one, we did a few bounces in an arch shape. We learned how to use several principals of animation in our projects such as staging by creating a grass-like environment and a realistic red ball, we used exaggeration by bringing emphasis when the ball hits the ground, and we used ease in and ease out in our last version with the ball leaving the scene in any way we wanted it to. Process It's a very simple project, and what's good is that we can do almost anything with cell animations using Photoshop. You have to be extremely aware of everything that's happening when making these type of animations, that I believe is something I'll get from experience and later be able to develop more complex animations along the way. How I Think It Is I definitely think my animation is more...

SketchUp House

The project was to use a real house plan and use SketchUp to create the house.  Original House Plan:  https://goo.gl/Ti4trZ What I Learned I've never used SketchUp before, however, I have used Roblox Studio which surprisingly is very similar. They each have the same tools and you are able to create anything. The difference with SketchUp is that it involves a lot more thinking. I spent an hour trying to figure out how to move something... so many steps. These are the textures I took from the internet:

Web Final Project

This project's goal was to create a website displaying our self promotional elevator pitch as well as two of our favorite projects. We followed several videos step by step, listening to 8 videos from Mr. Olson.  What I Learned / How I Did I learned the basics of Adobe Dreamweaver from the many videos, I also learned how to utilize the different headings and subheadings which I can use on many different softwares other than Dreamweaver. I believe my website is up to par with what is expected, maybe even more then what is expected.
