ONW 1 in 2000: An Interview with Ella

          At the beginning of the project, we went through many different ideas. We eventually landed on Ella Hiebert, a dancer, after we were given a suggestion by the teacher. I was the writer of all the interview questions and I finished them quickly because I pretty much wrote down things I wanted to know about dance and Ella's experience with it.

          Filming took a few days because our first shot at interviewing had bad lighting and the sound didn't end up working. We were lucky enough to get a mic on the second attempt which allowed the video to have better quality later on. Then on the third day of filming, we shot B-Roll throughout the school. 

           Getting the perfect voice over was definitely a struggle. I would either talk too fast, or start laughing with the other person in the room with me. Eventually, I just had to redo it at home after listening it over while editing. Editing was the most difficult process for me because I didn't have much time due to either waiting for my turn in the sound booth or filming. When we showed our drafts in class, I only had a rough 25 seconds done. 

           If I were to go back and change anything, I would've not spent the majority of my time waiting in the studio for my turn. I could've been back in class editing and not stressing about it during the next class period. However, I do like how the video turned out but with a bit more time, I think it could've turned out even better. For the next assignment, I'll for sure be better at time management and keep track of what I have done. In conclusion, I really liked how the assignment turned out but I think with some added time, I could make it even better.

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...
