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.

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...

Ten Words Animation

Ten Words Animation Overview In this project, we were tasked with creating a video animation on Photoshop that included our first and last name, along with ten words we came up with that describe ourselves. We were taught a few things on how to use Photoshop, and were also able to use some of our prior knowledge from Illustrator to help us come up with a good layout, and then we created the actual animation. How We Did It For this project, we started off by typing in our ten words, along with our name. Once we had these in, we could choose individual colors and fonts for each word. After this, we had to put them into an arrangement on the page that was pleasing to the eye, and had an equal amount of white space between each word. Once we had done this, we created the animation itself, which included us making the letters move from one point to another, fade, and flip around. After we had done this, we were left with our final animation. Conclusion Overall, I believe thi...

Color Wheel Project

Color Wheel Project Overview During this project, we worked with Adobe Illustrator to create a color wheel. Beforehand, we were taught a little bit about the color wheel and program we would be working with, but since this was our very first time working with Adobe Illustrator, we had to do a lot of experimenting with the different tools. This project as a whole was a very good learning experience for me. It really helped me test the waters for a brand new program. As a whole I think this project will really help me in future projects, and it was a good way to start off our journey. My final design How We Did it During this assignment, we started off by making a big circle with multiple triangles imbedded in them by using the different shape tools. After that, we used the ellipse tool to create three circles that represented the primary colors. We then made squares and triangles that would represent the secondary and tertiary colors respectively. This whole process was ...
