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.
