How To Print


What was your creative process?
    We started by outlining about six steps, which were featured in the video. We then had to decide what each of these steps would look like (i.e. how they were to be carried out, camera angles, etc.). Once we had everything we needed, we had Cain Meyer, our actor, act it all out while we filmed each scene. Many scenes had to be redone.
Who did what?
    Cain Meyers was out actor, as previously stated, Jenna Lindsey was our story boarder, and Sean Slicer and I filmed everything. We all were involved in the entire process, and critiquing our work. For my first video project, I learned a lot about filming and editing.
What did you use?
    We used school iPads to film and Adobe Premiere Pro to edit. The computer and printer in the video were just that, school computers and printer.
What about the five guarantees?
    We learned our Technical Skills somewhat on the fly, having some previous knowledge of how to use the camera and editor, but no real world experience. We used Communication to discuss ideas, concepts, flaws, and anything else we needed to.
    For Leadership, Sean ran things behind the scenes, instructing us on what to do when we got lost, or weren't working fast enough. We had to Collaborate ideas to come up with our sequence, and to film what we needed (and more). Lastly, we used Project Management to keep on schedule after a few setbacks, and we came out with a relatively smooth video in comparison to the chaos that always takes place behind the scenes.
If you had to do this again, how would you make it the same/different?
    Personally, I would have worked on my editing skills, and try to get smoother cuts and better acting (not that there was anything wrong with our actor). However, I liked the music and concept behind our video.
What did you learn that could help you with your next project?
    I learned better filming skills, and how to use Premiere Pro better. I also have a better understanding of how the entire process goes, so it won't be as touch and go.

Overall, for this groups very first video, doing many new things we haven't tried before (except printing, we have done that before), I am happy with how it came out. If I ever get the chance to do this again, I will be thankful for what I've learned and will always try to improve.

Houses

     Our most recent project in my E-Comm class has been using the program Sketch-Up. We were tasked with finding a house on houseplas.com and turning it into a 3-D model on Sketch-Up. This is the house I used: https://www.houseplans.com/plan/2176-square-feet-2-bedrooms-2-bathroom-country-house-plans-0-garage-36032      We started with the outline of the house, and added the roof, windows, etc. When we were fully done with creating it, we went and found seamless textures to color it how it's supposed to look. (As in wooding siding, or shingles for roofing.) Here are the three textures I used.      O nce we finished with designs and colors, we chose at least six different angles to view the house, and creating a small animation by putting them together. Here is my finished product, and I hope you enjoy.

Video Reflection

     In Video Production for the past few weeks, we have been hard at work finishing up our Sophomore Edition of ONW NOW (our schools weekly 10 minute news show). Even before that, we have done videos such as a feature story on a classmate, and then one on something of our choosing. Overall, while some things were a challenge, it was mostly enjoyable. I got to interview many interesting people, talk about cool stories, and work with fun people.      I learned a lot and I am starting to get more comfortable working with the equipment and interviewing people. Adobe Premiere Pro is getting easier to use and I'm learning all sorts of tips and tricks. I probably could have done better on some things, but that's all in the process of learning. Improvements      I could probably improve in areas such as my editing, speed, and productivity. It's always the little things that trip me up in editing, tiny little mistakes here and there. I just need...

Semester Reflection

Graphic Design Semester Reflection      So far this year, I have worked towards completion on one of my longest projects: a subscription box. Between designing patterns and deciding composition, it's only halfway done but it's still an impressive progress. The Takeaway      Each of the five guarantees played an important role in the learning process. With technology, I had to learn to design and create digital patterns, something I was not used to nor prepared for. I made my way through by asking questions and learning from mistakes. The composition of the box was also important lest it come out wrong. We only get one try with the boxes so it mattered greatly.      I continued working on collaborating and communication too. These were important to both understand the parameters of the project as well as catch hiccups along the way. By talking with fellow students and checking in with the teacher, I made sure to get things done cor...
