Movie Trailer           For this project, we were put into groups of five and asked to recreate a high school movie trailer. My group was assigned "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." This project took about a month, between storyboarding, filming, and editing. Our biggest challenge was probably figuring out what to do about the music. The music used in the video was a medley of three songs, and it would've probably taken a long time to redo for our video. Along the way as cinematographer, I had to learn more about the camera, so I retained more knowledge of ISO, the iris, and the focus. Our feedback was mostly good, but some people noticed one of our group members in a shot and others realized that some of our trailer strayed from the original. Overall, I'm really proud of how the trailer turned out. If I had to change something, I would've put more time into possibly recreating the music in the background of the original.

Second Semester in Graphic Design Reflection Infographic           At the end of first semester, we were asked to create an infographic about a topic we were interested in. At first I couldn't think of what I wanted to do, but after some input from friends in my class, I decided on "Christmas in America", because we were nearing Christmas time, and I thought it would be a fun topic. The project took me about three weeks to complete, including time for brainstorming, sketching, and actually creating the infographic in illustrator. This was a fairly easy project for me, I constantly had ideas, but toward the end (and the bottom of the infographic), I began to loose creativity. From this project, I definitely took away from collaboration skills. I communicated with my peers for their input on things I should keep the same and aspects I needed to change. I constantly asked my peers questions about the layout toward the end, because I needed to make it less empty. My orig
