A to B sequence

 

Overview

During this project, we were tasked with creating a story which showed someone going from point A to point B. We had to use the 6 shot technique, which helps to show different angles, which each help to develop the story line. We also had to think about the sequencing of our shots, so they would flow nicely, and not confuse the viewer. Also, before we even started filming, we had to create a road map, where we sketched what we would be putting into our video. Once we had thought about all of this, we started the actual filming of the video.

Production of the Video

Once we started filming, we had to bring our ideas to real life. We had already come up with a general idea of what we wanted to film, but we had to make some small changes of location, and had to change some of the script so our video would be as interesting as possible for the viewer. After we had filmed, we started the editing process. During this, we chose multiple audio clips to fit the different parts of our video, and also added different transitions and effects. We also worked with the rotation tool for part of our video that was slightly crooked. We also worked with cutting our shots so there would be smooth transitions. Lastly, we made a few minor tweaks and changes before we were ready to export our video.

How it Went

Overall, I thought this project went really well. Our group worked well throughout the entire project. At the beginning, we bounced ideas off of each other to come up with our video plan. Then, during filming we all helped to make our shots as good as possible. Lastly, we helped each other a little bit during the editing process if any of us needed advice on something. I think we were able to create a successful video, which pictured our character running around different parts of the school, looking for his phone. We also added a few minor conflicts to go with the main story line. I am very happy with our final product, but if I were to do it again, I might have made some clips longer, so they flowed a little better. Also, I would’ve tweaked the audio a little bit, to make sure it fit our video perfectly.

Music Video

Pre-Production For this project, we were separated into groups and were told we had to either recreate a real music video, or create our own from scratch. Our group decided we would recreate a music video for our project. For our song, we decided to go with "Bet on it" from High School Musical 2. In this video, the actor starts out a little troubled, and ends in a very confident and defiant mood. Our group wanted to help recreate this change of mood in our music video. To start the process of making this video, we had to complete our pre-production work. This was by far the most work we've had to do in pre-production for any of our videos. We had to make a beat sheet, which showed what was going on in each individual clip, as well as the length of the clips. We also had to storyboard, and show the mood of the music video in the beginning, middle, and end. Our group was very productive in pre-production, and finished as quick as we could so we could get right in to film...

Vector Portrait

Pre-Production To start out with this project, I had to choose a picture for me to vectorize. I don't take a lot of pictures, so I didn't have a lot of pictures to choose from. I eventually decided to crop myself out of a picture with my family and use that for my vectorized portrait. Once I imported this picture, I brought it in to Adobe Photoshop. In Photoshop, I used the posterize option to clearly separate the differences in color. This allowed me to make more specific shapes that would eventually make my portrait look a little more realistic. Then I imported this updated picture into Adobe Illustrator. When I started in Illustrator, I had to make two art boards. Both of the art boards would have my original picture on it. However, one of them would have a decreased opacity, and that picture would be the one I trace over to create my vector. The other picture was simply used for reference, and to grab colors for my vector. Production When I first started this project...

Graphic Design Second Semester Review

Projects Typography For this project, we had to come up with quotes and then make four unique typography designs using various colors and fonts. We completed this project over the span of about 1-2 weeks. This project was difficult for me because I tend to get stuck on the same idea often, so when I came up with one design, I struggled to create other unique and interesting layouts for my type. I also struggled to find good colors to use for some of my designs. This project really helped me to learn much more about the use of type/text in designs. I learned how to make fonts stand out by using different font types such as script and serif. I also became much more comfortable with the pen tool as I had to trace certain graphics. For this project, I often asked my peers what fonts or colors they preferred so that my designs could look even better. With my original designs, most of them were very similar and did not include very many graphics. So, in order to make my designs more in...
