Printing a Document Video Activity

-



          In the beginning of the project, my group started off well, brainstorming ideas for our storyboard before assigning roles. For this project, I was able to work with the camera, and my other group members were able to be the characters in the video and also working the camera. Luckily, we worked so quickly that we were fortunate enough to start early on the filming process. After shooting all clips necessary, we moved on to the editing stage. At first, I admit, I was a bit confused getting used to the new software, but after watching the short video clip, I easily was able to start the project. Within my group, we decided on who would be doing what, which worked out smoothly, and we each were able to do what we wanted.

          This project will give me a professional advantage in both the technical and collaboration fields. Through this, I was able to learn more about sharing files, and getting used to Mac and Adobe softwares. Having a great group definitely impacted the collaboration takeaway of this project, through my group, we were each able to get our own say on what happened during both the pre-production and filming processes. Although the biggest learning experiences from this project were from the Technical and Collaboration aspects of the five guarantees, my skills in leadership, project management, and communication have benefited also.

           Even though I love how the project turned out, there are some minor things I would've changed. For starters, I'm not head over heels for the video's audio, but since I was a bit pressed for time, I went with what sounded good with the project's "theme." As for what would stay the same, that applies to the rest of the project. I liked how minimal our project was to shoot, and the challenge of getting our clip to fit under thirty seconds. For my next project, I want to include more shots that either pan or from uniquer angles. Overall, I'm happy with how my thirty second film turned out, and I can't wait to continue filming!

First Semester of Video Production

First Semester of Video Production          We started off this semester with about two weeks of learning about the cameras, shots, and tips about lighting and audio. Although they weren't very fun, I did learn more about the cameras and just how much coloring can affect your video. Our first assignment was to create a video about procedures at ONW. I had a creative group so we were able to think of an idea quickly, and a form of showcasing it without making it too boring. We did our video about how students shouldn't eat on the carpet. I really liked this assignment because we were able to make a fun video about a topic we would've eventually gotten lectured over during class. This assignment made the videos that eComm makes about procedures every year seem like a cool opportunity.                   Our ONW Now News Story was over the fall play, And Then There Were None. My group easily decided on a vide...

First Semester of Junior Year Graphic Design Reflection

First Semester of Junior Year Graphic Design Reflection Throughout my first semester in graphic design, I've gotten the opportunity to go more in depth with design processes like patterning, illustration, and branding. From each of these projects, I have taken away at least one of the five guarantees of eComm. The most relevant of them being technology, as we spend most of our days designing on the computers. I've learned a lot of new features in our software this semester, especially the type that relates to patterning. I first used it with our patterns for the subscription box project, turning my designs into swatches and replicating them for the dielines. I'll definitely be able to use this with future projects and endorsement opportunities. The next most effective guarantee for me was communication. I relied a lot on the feedback and constructive criticism from my peers to critique my work. I took their thoughts and combined them with my own self-thoug...

High School Movie Trailer

Ferris Bueller Trailer Remake           For this project, we were assigned to do a shot by shot remake of a movie trailer taking place in high school. Collectively as a class, we had to brainstorm which movies we'd be interested in. We were placed into groups based off of our favorite ideas from there. I was put into the Ferris Bueller group, which was my top vote, so it was a relief. From the start, my group was very organized in getting everything ready to film. We set up a google doc and had all of the shots organized, the costumes sorted out, and formulated a prop list.  One of the best decisions we made during pre-production was casting mostly inside of our group. It really helped with scheduling later on. We made sure to cast people who could film during school, or had a connection to one of our group members.           Filming was a bit difficult at times, because we had to reschedule a couple of times. We began filmi...
