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 practice to get better, and to reflect on occasion to catch the mistakes and learn from them. On some days, I work slowly and get little done. I have trouble focusing or there's something in my way, there are many reasons. I just need to find the energy to jump the hurdles every day, despite how tired I may be from other classes. Half the time, I take a long time because I am unsure what I am doing, but I am getting that confidence back as I get more familiar with the process.

Strengths

     I like to think I am alright at (and getting better at) writing questions and doing voiceovers. I have done the voiceovers for several group projects (usually because the other person is too shy) and I often write the questions too. I attack it from several angles until I feel fully satisfied. I also think I am good at choosing the questions that sound well and weaving them into a story during editing (though a few little bumps could use work). Still, I don't think I am that bad and I strive to be better.

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.

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...
