Written News Story


"Hey ravens! Today we have the inside scoop on the Olathe Northwest Dance Team. The rdt has finished working as a color guard for the Raven Pride Band and has now begun preparing for this seasons regionals and nationals. The dance team comes every morning at 7am to practice and workout to prepare for the competition season. During this time and Thursday night practices from 6-8, Varsity has finished learning all three of there national routines and started to cleaning those along with the home routine they learned for camp this summer. Jv has also been coming at 7am and is making just as much progress this season.

The varsity dance team has four routines that they compete at two regional competitions. These dances include there home routine from camp this summer which is lyrical/ contemporary, pom, jazz another contemporary dance, and mix. Mix is a combination of four different styles including jazz, kick, pom, and hip hop. Then in February the RDT takes a trip to Florida to compete their jazz, pom and mix routine NDA nationals"   This week in e-Comm we worked on learning how to create and write a news story. This process was very difficult at the beginning but after watching a few videos and getting started it got a lot easier. A news story is similar to an inverted triangle  because you start broad and get more detailed as you continue, only using the facts of course! I really enjoyed writing this news story because I got to write on something that interests me, the school dance team, and show my personality in a variety of different ways. I think I did a very good job of providing valid and important information in a short time, but for next time I would like to work on organization in my pieces because that is very important for the reader/ viewer to help understand.

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.

Sophomore Semester Reflection 2

This semester in e-Comm we have worked on many different projects. The infographic, greeting cards, and logos were a few of my favorites. We started with the infographic which was a very long process and took the last few weeks in second quarter and the first week of third quarter. During this project one of the hardest things for me was coming up with an idea and graphics for that idea. During this project I learned a lot about organization and how important it in graphic design. Throughout the project I received feedback about fonts and colors: initially I didn't want to change anything but after trying out the colors and size oI changed the color of some of the text and color of the background. For the most part my idea stayed the same throughout the project. In the end I really liked my infographic but I think I could have done more complex graphics to push myself more.  Later this semester we worked on making greeting cards. This project took only two weeks, first we sta...

Music Video

• Embed your work at the top of your blog post under your Title. These past few weeks in video we worked on recreating the Bet on It video from High School Musical 2. As a group we thought this video would be really fun to create and challenging in many ways. We also had a good idea for locations already so we thought it would be do able. We started with pre-production by dividing up the work to be efficient and effective because we wanted to have as much times as we could to film. We also decided Alex was going to act, Josh and Drew we going to mainly do the camera, and Maleah and I were going to help with choreography and making sure the video and our filming was the same and there wasn't anything weird going on. After we had footage we all edited together since we couldn't have everyone at the same time, so we had one person run editing and everyone else helping and we rotated the main editor. As a group I think we worked together really well and dealt with the issues w...
