Advanced Feature News Story

This week in e-Comm we were challenged to do another feature story to build on our last and improve our feature filming skills. My group after a few small setback decided to make our story about one of the foreign exchange students this year. We interviewed Lea Weible for our story.

Lea is involved in international club, senior committee, and was on the girls tennis team. So on one of our planning days I wrote the questions and my other team looked for and tried to download some tennis highlights from the year. It was very hard to work around everyone's' schedule to find times to film, but eventually we got time to interview her and film international club during lunch. After finishing filming we started to edit and shortly realized we did not have enough b-roll so the editing process has been hard.

This project was very hard for our group because it seemed like we never had everyone there and we did not communicate very well as a team so it seemed like one person was just doing most of the filming on there own. Because of this and changing our topic a few times we did not seem to have enough time to finish editing our video. But overall I would say this was a great learning experience. I learned it is important to have good communication, prepare well, and always have a good plan B!

Making a Logo

The Process: Over the past few weeks we have been making are own logos. We started out by making sketches using our name. we made many different sketches then we narrowed it down to three. we then took those three logos and put them into adobe illustrator. Once in adobe illustrator we made different combinations of each logo. after we choose a final design in black and white we made different color combinations. Why I choose this logo: I choose this logo because it was simple and complex at the same time. I liked the colors grey and back because the are neutral colors and could go well on anything The font I chose is very cute an happy for the Ava Clayton. The font I use fro the C was very simple and serious.

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...

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.)
