House

House

Overview

During this project, we were given the task of recreating a real house by using Sketchup. We had done a few minor projects already using this software, so we knew the basics, but we still had to figure out how to do a lot of new techniques. Once we had picked out our house, we began our project.

How We Did It




Once we had chosen our house that we were going to recreate, we started by making a box with the specific dimensions of our house. We then created our roof, and added other aspects to our houses, such as windows, doors, and porches. Once we had the basic shape of our house done, we began to add textures and colors to our house to make it look how it would in real life. We were also required to find two of our own textures online that we would include in our house. After we had done all of this, we added some finishing touches, and then created the animation for our house. This was basically a visual tour, and showed the different viewpoints of our house. After we created our animation, we were done with our project.

Conclusion

As a whole, I would say this project was very successful. Obviously it was our first major creation in Sketchup, so it wasn't going to be perfect. There were a few aspects that I might have tweaked if we were to do it again, because there were parts that weren't completely accurate. However, as a whole, I am very pleased with my end product in this project, and I feel proud of what I have made.

Semester 2 Video Production Review

Projects Movie Trailer Recreation For this project, we were put into groups and told to recreate a high school movie trailer. Our group ended up recreating the trailer for "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". This entire process took about a month to complete, and had many challenges built in to it. The main challenge we came upon was scheduling with our actors. We found it was extremely difficult to find a time that all of our actors and team members could be in the same place at the same time. Throughout the making of this video, I learned a lot about the use of microphones and sound. I learned how to operate a boom mic and also learned more about how to use your music and audio effectively. At the end of this project, we mostly received positive feedback. The main negative on our piece was that some of the music did not stay true to the actual video. So, for our re-edits, we imported some of the actual music from the video to make it more accurate. Overall, I think our gro...

Movie Trailer Remake

Pre-Production For this project, we were assigned a specific movie about high school, and were told to remake the trailer. My group was assigned "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" for our movie. I was pretty excited about this project to start with because I really like the movie I got, and I thought I got a good group. However, this project was certainly not an easy task, so we had a lot of work to do. We started off with all of our pre-production activities. This included story boarding, completing a beat sheet, and figuring out who to cast for each role. Our group decided to mainly cast from our own group to make scheduling a little easier. However, we still casted all of our adults, plus two of our main characters from outside our group. Before we started filming, we also figured out what we were going to do for locations, props, and costumes. Most of our group chipped in for some props or costumes, and we mainly decided the locations as a group. Once we had all of that...

Typography Project

Typography Overview In this project, we were approached with the task of creating a project to show different terms of typography by using Adobe Illustrator. Before we started, we were given some basic knowledge about typography. This included different fonts, and parts of letters. We were then able to use some of our prior knowledge about Adobe Illustrator to create a name line to show our newfound knowledge. This project once again I believe was a very good stepping stone in my knowledge and I think it will be very useful in the future. What I learned For this project, we started off by writing our names and sizing it appropriately, and then making three lines to represent the general height of different parts of the letters. We then labeled different parts of our name with words and arrows. Once again, the command "Option-Drag" was very useful, as it helped us copy and paste our labels easily. After we had labeled at least ten parts of our name, we tweaked the l...
