ONW in 2000



For this project, we started by choosing our subject and story. We decided to make our story about Maleah Boyd and Raven Dance Team. After we chose this, we started to set up interviews with the people we needed for our video. For pre-production, we also planned out what else we would need to film or receive for b-roll. Once we had a solid plan for what we needed to get, we filmed our actual interview with Maleah. We also got some additional b-roll from various parts of the school and got some clips from Maleah of her and the dance team. This lead us in to the editing process where we started by sequencing our shots. Once we had our shots sequenced and edited accordingly, we recorded a voiceover to help bring our information together in the video. We then presented our videos and got some positive and negative feedback. Next, we reedited our video based on the feedback we received.

Throughout this entire process, my main role was to keep our group on track and make sure we got our work done. I helped a lot with the pre-production processes. During this project, I definitely learned a lot. Probably the most significant information I learned was how to make your audio sound as good as possible. This includes how to use microphones and how to edit audio in Premier Pro. I also learned how to write a voiceover and how to make 2, 3, and 5 shot sequences. Throughout this project, I think I did a good job at time management, collaboration, and communication. I think I could still improve a little bit as a leader and I could also continue to improve my technical skills. I think I am pretty good with the editing processes, but I'm still not the best with the camera.

If I were to do this project again, I definitely would've changed our camera angle for our interview so it would be closer to our subject. I also would've liked to try to get more footage of the dance team practicing so we could show more of actual dancing instead of flags. I think I did a good job with my voiceover, so I don't think I would've changed much in that aspect. I also think I did a very good job at sequencing my shots and making the story flow. In future projects, I will definitely remember the technical aspects I've learned during this project. These aspects are used in almost all high production videos, so it is important that I continue to use them in future projects. As a whole, this was a pretty enjoyable project and I am looking forward to making more informational videos in the future.

My Personality Type

ISTJ My personality type is ISTJ. This means I am introverted, sensing, thinking, and judging. People who are classified as an ISTJ are typically very analytical, reliable, and detail-oriented. They tend to value logical reasoning rather than emotional. They tend to prefer to be alone at times, and keep their thoughts to themselves. These people like to use processes that are proven to work, and also like to rely on their past experiences. Some famous people who share this personality type are George Washington, Queen Elizabeth II, and George H.W. Bush. As a whole, I believe this description of me is almost spot on. I think the quiz is definitely correct when it says I am introverted, and prefer to look at logic when reasoning. I believe I am definitely dependable and detail-oriented, but I think I also have some qualities of perceiving, to go along with judging. For example, I always try to not over schedule things, and I work pretty well under pressure. As a whole, I though t...

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...

ONW Now Sophomore Edition

This was definitely the hardest project we've done this year. Not only was the time schedule very hard to meet, but there was also just a lot of things that had to be done. I definitely learned a lot about all the work that goes in to making a good news show. I learned how much goes on behind the scenes, such as what is done in the control room and with the camera and teleprompter. Personally, I really enjoyed working in the control room for this project. It was definitely a lot of pressure to work completely on the go. I had a huge part in the live recording of the show, which was definitely stressful, but I still enjoyed it. After doing this project, I would say the most important aspect of a successful news show is organization. It is extremely important for everybody to know exactly what their job is so they can execute perfectly. It is also very important to have good communication among your crew. For example, we didn't do a great job at communicating with our anchors...
