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.

Written News Story

ONW Students Receive Laptops By Josh Burton This week at Olathe Northwest, all students have been given district issued Dell laptops for their own educational use at school. The laptops will be used by students throughout their school day and teachers will be encouraged to create lessons incorporating the devises. The Dell laptops that were given out are very portable and extremely easy to use both at home and at school. Chris Zuck, the principal at Olathe Northwest said: “I truly hope that these new devices will help to enhance our students’ learning at school as we continue to modernize our classrooms.” Olathe Northwest is not the first Olathe school to receive electronics, however, as these laptops have already been distributed to multiple other high schools in the Olathe school district. Now the Olathe schools will continue the next step of this long process: making these devices an essential part of their classrooms. This above piece of writing is my written news s...

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...

Watercolor Transfer

For this project, we started off by taking our previous projects and sizing them appropriately. We then printed these photos. After that, we used water colors to paint a blank sheet of paper however we wanted. Once our paint had dried, we started the actual printing process. We cut our picture with a small border (1/2 to 1 inch) of white paper around it. Then, we applied mod podge to the areas with ink on it. Then we placed our photo face down onto our water colors (side with ink facing down). After that, we used a squeegee. With the squeegee, we applied light pressure to the entire image and tried to squeeze our all of the bubbles and places with too much mod podge. We had to be very careful to not get the excess mod podge on the back of our image, or else it would make later steps much much difficult. Once we successfully squeezed out the extra mod podge, we left it to dry over night. The next day, we used a small amount of water to wet our image. We then started to rub away the wh...
