"Olathe Northwest Student Uses Dance to Display Individuality

Olathe Northwest sophomore Ella Hiebert has a talent that sets her apart from many other students: dance. Ella’s mother placed her into dance classes when she was younger, and she has continued to pursue her passion of dance ever since. Ella continues to follow a path in dance because she can see herself having a career in the field. Hiebert conveys,“I think it would be really interesting...if I could be a professional dancer, and then go to college and do physical therapy or something in that field.” Now, she can be found practicing up to 20 hours a week at American Dance Center. The majority of her style consists of ballet, she is also able to demonstrate her talents in modern and contemporary dance. Ella shows promise and excitement about her skill in dance, and is eager to share with others."

First, I had to take into consideration my previous assignments. It was between Ella Hiebert and Diversity at ONW, so I ended up choosing Ella because I worked on her project longer and I felt like I had more knowledge about her topic. I had to go back at watch her video again to refresh my memory about her interview. I used the inverted pyramid by putting how she got into dance in the first place and how she plans on continuing dance in the future. The less important information for this story was her specific types, so I placed them toward the bottom of the story. I incorporated her quotes into the career section of the story, because I found it as the most interesting part of her interview and wanted readers to hear her thoughts.

I liked actually being able to interview someone and write a story about it. It's different from English class where we were given a prompt. I think I definitely do need to work on the sentence flow of the story. It seemed very choppy to me as I was writing it. I did like how I used the quote though, I found it as the most interesting part of the story. For this next project that I am currently working on, I have been thinking about a news story as I'm editing it, and it's probably my favorite project I've worked on so far.

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...
