How to Print Video


Pre-Production

Before the making of this video, we worked together with our partner to brainstorm the different shots and camera angles we wanted for our video. This lead us to making a story board, which pretty much summarized what we would be trying to do with our video. After we had done this, we got our iPads so we could put our idea into actual photographs. These allowed us to better envision what our video would be like when we actually started putting it together. This also helped us receive small critiques on how to frame our videos. After we had prepared all of this, my partner and I decided what we wanted to do individually for the video. We decided that he would film, and I would act, but we would both help frame the shots, as well as editing the video by ourselves. Now we were ready to start the production of the video.

Production of the Video

Now we had started the video itself, and with it we had to make many decisions and changes as a group. In this way I thought my partner and I worked pretty well together; we were both very cooperative and willing to let the other person help out. So, we began filming with our iPads and tripods (which were difficult to operate at first) to shoot the different parts of our video. We usually took shots from different angles for each part of the video, so we could then decide which angle we like the best. When we were finished filming, we imported the videos to our computer and started the editing process, on Premier Pro. This program was definitely a huge learning experience, and it was difficult to adjust to the different software. Luckily, we had a lot of people around us, including our partners that helped us learn different techniques. Eventually, we were done editing our video and published it to our YouTube accounts.


What I Learned and How it Went

For me this project got a little dull at times, but it was definitely a crucial part in my learning of filming and video production. I was able to learn how to shorten certain clips, import audio for our project, as well as learning the different techniques and things to think about while filming. As a whole, I thought my partner and I did a pretty good job with the production of this video. We worked well cooperatively, and communicated with each other a lot. We tried not overpower one another, and I think that worked well for us. We also managed our time pretty well, and were able to learn a lot about the editing software. With this project, I will definitely use it as a stepping stone for future projects. This project was useful for learning different filming, and editing techniques. If I were to do this project again, I might have changed the angling of a few of our clips, and might have put a little more effort into adding detail to my editing. As a whole, I think this project will definitely be useful in future projects and experiences, and I am happy with our end result.

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...
