Diversity at ONW

 For this assignment, my group decided to do our video about Diversity at Olathe Northwest. We thought that it may stick out and leave more of an impact than other feature stories. My group never really assigned certain roles for each other, but I think I was more of a cinematographer. We took one block day to film all of the interviews and another class period to do the b-roll. We didn't get enough b-roll, which would later make me struggle to complete it on time. 

         Editing is where I really struggled in this project. We didn't have enough b-roll so it was a process trying to figure out how to fill the empty space. It was all about making some clips longer and working with the clips that weren't necessarily the best in terms of lighting and focus. I turned this project in much later than the due date because of this, and it was definitely a learning experience because for my current project that I'm working on, I got too much. So from this, I learned a "having more b-roll than you need" philosophy. As for working with technology, I think that this project was pretty easygoing except for the few crashes here and there. 

      On this project, I tried to make my intro a bit different than last time with more time in between my intro clips to show the significance of the school setting. I definitely learned my lesson when it comes to b-roll and I'll improve on that for future projects. Overall, I don't really like how this video turned out and I think that it had so much more potential that I didn't give to it. There are a couple of clips where the audio isn't muted, which made it look messier than my usual work, which I would go back and change.

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...
