Printing Processes

We watched multiple videos about different types of printing processes. We learned about the relief process, the intaglio process, and the lithography process. Each process uses different materials and tools that help to make their designs unique. Here is a more in-depth view of each individual process: Relief Process:  Relief printing is the process of cutting away at a surface in order to create an image from the raised area. In a step by step process of this, first you can draw directly onto a linoleum block with a marker. Then, a linoleum cutter is used to cut away what you have drawn on the block. This means that whatever you have drawn will eventually be in white, while the blank space will be black. Then, ink will be applied to your linoleum block with a roller. Lastly, you can place a piece of paper on the linoleum block and apply light pressure in order to reveal your image. After letting the ink dry, this process is finished. Example of relief process .

Panorama

It's game time. The last month of practice all built up to this game, the tournament final. When I start getting ready, the first thing I think about is how hot it is! It's midday and the astroturf we are playing on seems to escalate the heat up to 100 degrees. Gosh, this game was gonna be rough. We are playing our biggest rivals, Olathe West, for all the marbles. I'm excited, but also nervous because I want to win the game so badly. I try to get the rest of my nerves out before the game and eventually our team finishes our warm up, so we line up for the start of the game.  The referee blows their whistle and we kick off. I start playing, already starting to become exhausted by the blazing sun. Early in the game, my teammates link up and then take a shot and... GOAL!!!!! We take the lead at 1-0! The game wasn't over, though. We still had a lot of time to defend our lead. We were doing well until we got beat on the wing and they finished their opportunity. 1-1. We w...

How to Use the Elevator (ONW Procedures)

For this project, our group decided to make our video over the process of getting an elevator key at ONW when you are injured. Before we started filming our video, we had to complete multiple different tasks during Pre-Production. One of these processes was storyboarding. During storyboarding, we sketched out what we wanted to show during each shot as well as the camera angles. We also wrote out a script for what we would be showing and then we assigned different roles for the video itself. We also went through a few more planning processes before we started the filming process. Our group decided to film multiple close ups of different actions first. We then moved in to our other shots, where we showed where and how to get an elevator key as well as how to use it. When we combined our close ups with our more wide shots, it created a good variety of shots that complimented each other well. We had a few growing pains along the way, but we eventually got all the shots we needed. Once we...
