Final Blog Project.

So in our group we all had something to do for every transition. We would all put in our ideas and put them together to make something big.

 I was in charge of the banner, the animation, the store, and I came up with the floating pencil idea in our video. Sadly I was gone for the editing process in the video so I am unable to post my version.


Next time we do a project like this I will probably need to make sure what events I have coming up so then I don't fall behind and try to get ahead in the project so when I get back there wont be to much to do that I wont be able to get it done. If I was to do something the same it would most likely be trying new things on the illustrator because cool things happen on accident. Accidents to me tend to always make things have a cooler affect like when I used the gradient tool and blended it with something else it made this cool kind of color that would of been great if it was in our color scheme.

 

     So in e-comm for the past couple weeks we've been working on 4 projects sadly I couldn't seem to find one of them, but I am pretty sure I did it. Well as you can see we changed the colors to a monarch butterfly, and put ONW and a compass in front of our school and then lastly we put the raven and parts of the building in front of the outside of our school. This was a real good learning process for future references because each and every single one of these had
something different to do with them.
     In the butterfly project we had to use the magic wand in order to change the colors to the butterfly and use the stamp to give it find of a flying affect on it which to me was my favorite project.
     The one with the compass we he to kinda paste in the compass and type the words in then lastly kinda fade it so you can see through all of them.
     The last thing we did was the hardest mostly because we had to delete this light post which was a pain and it literally took forever, but you know I got it

done; then we had to copy and paste and put a mask on the pictures to edit the size of them and the form.

Logo

I learned that in order to make a logo make since you must give it some flavor with color sadly I could only use two colors :( so I chose black and blue to kinda give you a futuristic kinda feel. The logo is teleport and I realized after all this sketching i ended up going with something completely different that i liked better. I used a circle to represent my teleporter.

Something to do With Color. 

In these projects I learned more of the specifics of colors and what they mean for example red represents hate and death, but on the other side of it it stands for love and all that kind of stuff. Another thing I learned was the meaning of shading and tenting a color. If you add white to a color you are tenting it, and if you add black to a color you are shading it. 

Interview

                  This quarter has been great i can say now that I really like video, but there was some rough spots. One challenge that I faced was all the times I was gone having to catch up was hard, but I think i did fine. Things that I learned this year were how to communicate with others for your project other swize you may fail I learned that and that you need to take on more responsability so having to come to the teacher when a questing is needed other size you are not getting anywhere. My favorite thing to do in video having people to help discuss what we are going to do instead of doing all the work myself that was great. The groups i was with were real great they worked well and did their best so i honor them by doing the same. I must say the best partner I had was definitely the one for this video because we helped solve our problems by making sure we found a room to use for the video and coming in during seminars so we don't fail.

Chase scene

 

Q. What did you learn?

A. I learned that working in groups is not as easy as it looks I say this because there are points here someone is gone. There are points where someone in the group doesn't wear the same thing they wore the first day so you can't go back to fix something. Our group did ok the only problem was that we did not communicate that much.

Q. What will you apply to the next project?

A. I will apply a focused eye and what i mean by that is make sure I know of everything that is going on in each scene there is a scene where you will see another group in the background. I will also try to find some better sound effect the ones i chose were not the greatest, but they worked.

Q. How was collaboration different?

A. It was different because you had to get everyone a role then you also need to communicate which our group again did not do to much of. Other wise we worked real well together wasn't to many problems the only one that makes my communicating thing more true is when I was gone for a concert one day and when I got back I was not wearing the outfit that I wore on filming so that became a huge problem.

Q. How could you improve collaboration in the next project?

A. I will make sure to get my groups Phone# so then if we have a problem and someone isn't there you can text/call them and tell them what to do for the next day. One other thing is keep tabs on what other people in your group are doing so there are no problems in the video.

6 shot sequence

Q, what are all the shots in a 6 shot sequence?

A. 1. wide shot: Is a shot that shows one person from head to toe.

     2. extra wide shot: shows the person you are filming and the area around him.

     3. close up: shows the persons whole face and his emotion to something.

     4. extra close up: Is the same as a close up just closer.

     5. medium shot: is a shot of one person from the waste up.

     6. over the shoulder: is a shot where you get over the shoulder of someone and film something going on in the background.

Q. what did you learn?

A. I learned that putting music into a video is a lot harder then it seems if you want it to end on a good note so like you will here in the video at the end there will be a pretty bad music error where I tried to make it blend,

Q. what will you apply to your next project?

A. I will apply a better ending with sound probably some sound effects and use more time on some scenes.
