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.
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.
These are the three postcard I created using photoshop. I made one regarding myself, one about christmas, and one Hawaii postcard. I used the pen tool, the quick selection tool, and explored paths and layers with all these post cards. This was difficult at first but after you got the hang of it, it wasn't too bad. I struggled with the pen tool but I have a better understanding of it now. Overall this projects were challenging but fun.
For this project I followed Olivia Contractor and her experience at the Olathe Northwest blood drive. I filmed and edited this video. I explored audio in this piece by picking up sound bites from interviews and nat noise. I also recorded voice overs to put in this project. J and L edits were a new thing we were introduced to during this assignment and I tried to utilize them in the editing project. My team for this production wasKit Walters and Wyatt Fowler.We assisted each other in the filming of this video. As a class we learned a bit about audio and J and L editsbefore we started the project. The day of the Blood Drive were sort of just thrown in and then from there we were told to follow one person and basically the rest was up to us. This turned into a journalism piece for me which I created in the same light as a news segment. During this project I learned that when filming a video you will be using audio heavily you need to make sure you pick up good sound bites and many of them, this way you have a range of audio to choose from. I also learned that as an interviewer you need to ask thourough and thought provoking questions where you will get a good response. Next time I would like to take a better variety of shots so I have a more interesting video. I liked how I got generally good responses from my subjects so I wouldn't change that. Overall I really enjoyed this project and just any journalism project in general. I would like to do more of these and get better!
In this project I filmed Saif and Bryce Lundgren as they build a Star Wars ship out of legos. I interviewed them during the process and the goal was to pick up sound bites from the interview questions and from natural noise, much like the blood drive assignment. However I didn't create this video as a journalism piece it was more so just a question and answer interview. I also recorded voice overs that I used in this video. Before filming we learned about editing with J and L edits and also how to use the cameras to receive audio. My team for this video was Saif and Bryce. We each had to build the ship and also film. During this I learned it's important to hold the camera as steady as possible to get good shots. I also learned to ask meaningful questions as the interviewer so that you get a good response, much like in the blood drive video. Next time I would ask better questions and take better shots. I liked my CU shots so I would keep those in a future video. Overall I didn't like this project as much as the blood drive one and I didn't really understand the project as well.
The scope of this project was to create a video focusing on soundbites and j and l edits. First we got put into a group and then were asked to build a star wars lego ship, while one person films and interviews while trying to pick up sound bites. I learned that it's essential to speak clearly and loudly as well as to ask meaningful questions where you will receive a good response. If I were to do this again I would speak louder and ask them better questions and more frequently. My final thoughts on this video are that I think I did well filming but I could definitely have gotten better sound bites and I still need to work on my j and l edits. Overall I was not extremely pleased with how this video turned out but I did my best with what I had.
The scope of this project was to create an interview video focusing on sound bites and j and l edits. First we understood how to use audio with our cameras and how to edit it in final cut. I learned that it's important to get clear sound bites and when interviewing ask meaningful questions where you will get a thorough response and also to speak loudly and clearly. If I were to do this again I would ask better interview questions and try to get clearer sound bites. My final thoughts on the video are that I think I did pretty well for men first interview type story line but I could have had better audio and better j and l edits. Overall I'm satisfyed with how my video turned out.
