ONW NOW Reflection

The project:
This past week in e-Comm we were challenged to create a sophomore edition of ONW Now. First we got into groups and we assigned what type of story to create, my group was assigned a sports story. Then we storyboarded to plan timeframes and a b-roll plan. After filming and editing we started working on putting together the whole ONW now show. All of the anchors worked on writing a script while the rest of the teams finished editing. Then we went downstairs to practice and film.

What I Learned:
Thought this process I learned it is really important to manage your time wisely. We only had a week to do this whole project so it was important t o get things done in time and meet deadlines. It was really hard to do a whole sports story all the way through in a week but since we did cheer who practices seventh hour it made it a little easier. I also learned how important it is to divide and conquer with jobs if everyone is given a individual task the team can accomplish more faster.

For Next Time:
I do not think I would change much if I did this again. My group worked very well together and accomplished a lot in a very short time. As far as filming ONW now I wish next time I could be an anchor or do something more significant in the filming process. Overall, this projects was very fun and challenging and I think it really pushed me to work hard and meet deadlines.

Printing Processes

Relief Printing: Relief Printing is a printing process where the surface faces of the paint block are inked; empty areas are ink free. Printing the image is a simple task in inking the face of the block, making it contrast more with the paper. 1.) Prep your block, you can tone it using Indian wash or jet black film ink. 2.) Place carbon paper transfer on tip of the block. 3.) Once the paper is transferred, you have the choice of what kind of composition you want to have which will have a impact on what tool you decide to press with. 4.) Roll in over the surface of the block, then place it on the press where it is past through transferring ink to paper. Intaglio Printing: Intaglio printing is any print making process when the image area is below the flat surface of the printing plate. The design is cut, scratched, or etched into the plate. 1.) Prepare the plate by polishing and cleaning it so that there are no scratches or marks that coul...

Color Wheel

The Project: This week in e-Comm we made color wheel! We did this project to learn the basics of adobe illustrator and color schemes. We learned about the primary and secondary colors. First we learned about good color schemes and the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Then we were taught how to use adobe illustrator. What I learned; First we earned about color schemes. There are many different color schemes, including warm and cool colors, monochromatic, color triads, analogous colors, and complementary colors. Then we learned how to use adobe illustrator. First we created a new file using he web setting which was 800x600 pixels. Then we started making our color wheel. Then we learned about all the tools on the side and the short cuts for those tools. How it went: Overall I think making the color wheel went really well. It was very fun to learn about color and different color schemes. Also I have never used adobe before, it was hard at first but got a lot easier.

1 in 2000 feature story

The last few weeks in e-Comm we work on writing and creating our first feature story. We started by watching videos and learning about what it take to write a feature story. Then we picked directors and got into our groups. When we got into our groups we were instructed to pick a subject that did something interesting in our class. Since Jaden, Maleah, and I both participated in this years marching band we decided the Drew would be a perfect topic. Then we wrote 21 questions for Drew and 21 questions for his percussion teacher Mr.Carter. Then we got into filming. First we filmed interviews with both people and then worked for about a week trying to find and film b-roll. The final step in this project was editing which was hard than usual because there was more steps in editing feature story’s than just normal entertainment videos. We had to write and record voiceovers and decide sequencing and many other steps. Overall this project was very different than anything we have done before...
