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.

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...
