Video Reflection

It was a cool experience. I enjoy the creative process because it involves careful planning so it is very hard to mess up when you go for principal photography. Here's the project:


We first assigned the roles to everyone, and I tried to make sure everyone was satisfied with their role. Once my group got to storyboarding, we came up with a pretty good outline of how we wanted it to go. My role would be most compared to that of a cinematographer, I made sure that the storyboard was followed and framed most of the shots. The editing process was quite simple compared to previous projects that I make with the Adobe suite but nevertheless, I am proud of my work. The most important skill I learned from this project is the basics of the 6-shot system, it is very useful when coming up with shots to use in future projects. Also to enhance future projects, I will keep an image of each shot noted so I can easily verify that two shots can be put together because sometimes when you're shooting video you can forget about the editing process and not think about how the two shots can match up, an image to look back on will help that issue.

This project used skills required for future job performance such as technical skills, communication, leadership, collaboration, and project management. Technical skills required to use the equipment when filming and making your shots as well as editing in Adobe Premiere Pro. Communication was also big because we were working in groups, which means not by ourselves, so we had to communicate our ideas in order to collaborate effectively. Sometimes, even in a group, you might have to be the leader in order to get something done that others might not be so understanding of. It is a process of teaching and getting work done faster. Overall, project management requires us to balance work over the course of a week, because we only had class time together and I didn't bring the work home so we had to be efficient in how we managed the project and our time.

If I could go back and do one thing differently, I would reshoot the medium-close shot of the keyboard, mouse, and monitor because it was kind of long and had unnecessary button-clicking in it and fixing it would might the video a little smoother. One thing that I would do the same is keep the shots. I think the shots look pretty good together and flow well, so why change it?

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.
