ONW sessions with Cole Daniel

This video is showcasing a students talent with art. It took one day to fix and one day to edit. I was an audience member and I helped edit the video. We did this video to showcase students talents at ONW. 

ONW sessions with Logan Cantino

This video is the showcase of an ONW students talented in singing and playing guitar. We did it to have an entertaining piece to put on the show they showed off the talented students. This took one day to film and one day to edit. In this video I was an audience member and helped with editing.

Elsa Rhae

ay 

This is a story over an ONW alumni, Elsa Rhae, who now has a very successful youtube channel and creates stage makeup looks. We did this story because Dr. Poss and Mr. Allam wanted to see us do a story over an ecomm alumni. We spent a day emailing and setting up a time to meet with Elsa. We took and then we took half a day to interview and the other half to edit, we then took another day to finish editing. The outcome of this story was really good and I'm really proud of it. I learned again how to use the quicktime screen recording.

Black Friday/ Cyber Monday

This package is a story over black Friday and cyber Monday. I made this video because we did a christmas special on ONW now and this was included. We shot the footage of black Friday on black Friday and we took a separate day to edit and film the interview. The outcome of this story was decent but I think it was entertaining. I learned how to use quicktime to do a screen recording.

Egg Drop

This package is a story of the egg drop competition that the science scholars held. We did this package because Ms. Curry the head of science scholars asked us if we could make a promo for it and put it on the show. The outcome of this video was not my best work simply because we filmed and edited the whole video after school in a total of 4 hours. I learned that b- roll is super important and you need a lot of it to make your story look complete.

Volleyball ONW vs Sumner

This video is a recap of the volleyball game against Sumner. I helped film this with one of my classmates in SID. This took around an hour and a half. The package turned out well and my footage looked good. I learned that to get the best shots you need to really get in there.

Writing Center Personal Blog Post

  The scope of this video was to inform the students of Olathe Northwest that there is a new writing center during seminar 2. The pre-production involved writing 21 questions to ask the students and staff I interviewed . I also had to contact Ms. Skogland and Mrs. Kazmier to get more information over the writing center, and I had to schedule a time to film and interview students working in the writing center. During seminar 2 I went down to Ms. Skogland's room and filmed the tutors and students who needed writing help. After I filmed B-Roll I went into the hallway and interviewed 2 students and Ms. Skogland. Post-production involved script writing, filming voice overs, and putting clips together in Final Cut. 

    I should have used a tripod when i filmed B-Roll. I  also should have filmed the interviews sitting down in the writing center. I would have edited the same way because I varied up the 6 shot sequence throughout the video. To enhance my next project I will use a trip-pod and find better lightening for the interviews. 

Professional Blog Post

The Today show filmed this news package to show American citizens how landlords are struggling to keep their residents online packages during this holiday season. To start this news package Gabe Gutierrez opened it up by using a standup of him standing in a room of packages. The video then went into the news package starting with a voice over. One of my favorite parts of this package was the animation that showed how online shopping has increased boxes delivered to apartments by 50% which causes 10 minutes of lost productivity for their workers, and that time adds up to more than 3 million dollars a year. I should add in different animations in my work because it varies up the shots viewers see and captures their attention. I learned why and how to use stand ups in news packages earlier in the year, and I should apply more stand-ups into my news packages. Gutierrez also used the six shot sequence, however he had a lot more zooming and panning that made the shots more interesting. I think the last interview piece that was filmed could have been set up better. There is a lot of head space above the women head because Gabe Gutierrez is a lot taller, so a good solution would be to sit both of them down. Overall I believe watching different news packages will help me develop videography skills and give me ideas for future packages. Source Cited: Gutierrez, Gabe.

Barbara Walters Most Interesting People

Summary

This video was about the "10 most interesting people", with the host Barbara Walters. It began talking about each person's background, also went on to more personal projects associated with that person. Finally, it would move on to more of their accomplishments and how they achieved those things. 

The stories were told about other people's lives. It was set up in an interview form, with the host asking questions, and also clips and pictures from that person's past. 

Application

I like how the interviews were set up, and how the clips used helped tell the story of how that person rose to fame. I think I could apply the interview set up to my own work, it seemed to work very well and it was an effective way to help tell the story. I have already learned how to set up a story like this, and also know how to do the voiceovers that were used throughout some of the pictures and videos to describe what was going on. 

Overall

I think that the producers did a very good job telling the stories over the different people's lives, and successfully showed why these people deserved to be on the "Top 10 Most Interesting People" list. I think they could've gone even more in depth in telling people's stories, each person I think could've been analyzed more, to show even more of the things that they had accomplished. Overall, I didn't really agree with who was on the list of Top 10 people, because some of them weren't that interesting, and didn't really deserve to have made that list. But they did a good job telling the story of how those people rose to success.

HC Vlog

This is a homecoming vlog I made over the course of homecoming week, including the powder puff game and the pep assemblies. I decided to do it because it seemed like a fun and interesting package that the student body would enjoy and because we had a show everyday of the week for homecoming week. Libbie and I filmed the footage used over the course of the whole week and we edited it in one day. I think the outcome of this project was really good and our footage went together nicely and it was a really fun project. I learned how to use the go pro and put it to use in this video.

Culinary

This project is a package over the culinary class here at ONW. I decided to do it because we were planning on doing consecutive stories over ONW A-Z and baking/ culinary was going to be the B and C for the segment. This project took us ! day to film B-roll, 1 day to interview, and 1 day to edit. I think the outcome of the package turned out pretty well. Our B- roll showed the process on cooking in order and we had a lot of good artsy looking shots. I learned that for an interview it's best to have the person you are interviewing sitting down.

Locker Shortage

The scope of this project was to create a package about how the 2015-16 school year had a shortage of lockers to be given out to students in the beginning of the year. For this video I executed the 6 shot system as well as the rule of thirds. Our package has a beginning middle and end. If I could do this differently I would have tried to get more b roll. Over all I think this was a well put together package and it told a story as well as informed the audience.

Airball Short Film FINAL

Project Scope and Process

The scope of this project was to create a short film incorporating a water bottle, a hat, a lights out reference, and an intentional source of light. The process for creating this video was we first wrote a script on celtix. Then we created story boards including the shots we plan to use, the angles, and a description of what will be said. We used  a story that we had already put together for a previous project so pre production wasn't so time consuming. For the actual production of the project we worked for about a week filming the story. We used a wide range of shots but mainly just one location in the main gym. During post production we edited the film and this took a total of about two days. I added music to many scenes to avoid awkward sciences and also had to cut many of my shots down to make the video. Audio was probably the hardest thing for me to edit.

Variety of shots we had to choose from.

What I Learned/ How I will Improve and Keep the Same

Music I added to my video from YouTube.

Throughout this process I learned how to add music into my movie from youtube and I also learned that a tripod is not useful for all shots. Professionally I learned it is important to make a time management and production schedule so you stay on task. I also learned to be more open with listening to other peoples ideas because they can often times be helpful. If I were to do this differently I would pick a more accessible location to be our main setting. I would also try to get more shots including audio and conversation to make the final video easier to understand and follow. Things I would keep the same would be the teamwork methods we used to finish the project in time as well as the number of shots we decided to take. We had a wide variety of angles and shots to choose from in the end which made final editing easier.

Experiences I Picked Up and Conclusion

From this project I learned to really be strict about your project timeline and stick to it. I also learned to choose a film that you know will be easy to make in the time given. I will be able to use this skills later in my film making career. In conclusion I did enjoy doing this project. Originally I had a different idea of how it would turn out but I'm not completely disappointed in it. I was late with my editing because I missed a day and that hurt me in the end but overall I think it was a decent video given the circumstances of the gym always being unavailable and my shortened time for editing.

Carton FINAL Stella Dolls

This project was to create a box template of our carton. We had to crete a product that has multiple uses. We created a barbie like product with dolls who will be set in a box that doubles as a runway. This product was time consuming but over all it was pretty fun. I had trouble finding the right carton measurments but we found a website with the right design. This project was interesting and I enjoyed it. We worked well together and we al pitched in. We each had a job to work on until the full product came together. We each respected each other and our work and it turned out great.

This is the front of our carton. We stuck to our color theme and we put our logo at the top. We left a white box in the center to resemble the clear plastic that will go there so you can display the barbie inside. We used stars on the sides of the box to add add a design to the front.

This is the back of our box. We put a picture of the "Stella Dolls" on it as well as put the name in our font on the top. We also added the stars in the background. We see the dolls as the focal point of the back of the box, and put our dolls name up at the center top of the box.

This is the left side of our box. here we have a description of the dolls all down the side as well as a barcode at the bottom, used for scanning the product. In the top left corner we stuck our label on it just to continue to have our label seen by the customer to eventually brand our product better.

This is the right side of our box. We put our logo on it once again and we put pictures of high heels and purses on it to add a fun look. The fashion pieces also back up the idea of the fashion themed dolls.

This is the bottom of our box where we have a QR code t the bottom of the box for scanning by customers.

This is our color palate and our logo design page. We stuck to the same color and varied shades of it. We used a pink color ranging from a hot pink all the way down to a soft light pink. We incorporated all the colors in our package. These color shades were a really good contrast with each other for the box.

Box Carton and Product Design

This is the label side of my box. I created in adobe illustrator. On the label I put two of my logos and a slogan in the middle one. This project was difficult but i think the final product will be interesting to see.

This is the actual carton layout for my product which is hair nails and skin pills that help you grow healthier hair nails and skin. On the carton i include the supplement facts, a barcode, two of my logos, and a silhouette of healthy hair.

This is the 3D mock up of the carton showing two different angles and a 3D pill bottle including my main logo on the front of the bottle.

eMagine

This is me at the emagine festival it was really nice and I got to see some great work! Over all it was very inspiring and a good experience.

Custom Font

This is my custom font that I created using Adobe illustrator. I connected my "i" and my "d" to make it unique. I also squished all my letters together so it looked cleaner.

My Better Blog

I finally finished my new blog look. I went for a simpler background color to kind of be less in your face. I added an HTML/Javascript. I also labeled all my posts and added gadgets and tags to all of them. I customized my overall appearance by changing the font and some of the colors in my blog. I messed around with the CSS and I followed CARP for most of my design. I used contrast with the colors and fonts in my blog, I used alignment for the spacing between my posts and I shifted my whole blogs alignment to the left. I see repetition with my headings and my font colors.

Saul Bass movie poster 2

This was a second movie poster for the same movie that I made just for fun.

Saul Bass Movie Poster

For this project I used photoshop and adobe illustrator to create my poster. I enjoyed this project a lot and I thought it was really fun. I wish I would have had a more creative story behind my poster and if i did this project again I would pick a different movie and maybe do more research on Saul Bass.

 

This is one of Saul Bass original works. This was made for the movie Vertigo.

10 Valuable Things

This is my 10 most valuable things poster and I made this using InDesign on MAC. The scope of this project was to create a poster describing the top 10 things we value. I enjoyed this project and I'm pleased with how it turned out.
