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!

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...

Sophomore Semester 2 Video Reflection

Napoleon Dynamite: For this project we were assigned to recreate a movie trailer in about a month. Over this project we faced many challenge, but are biggest challenge was scheduling. With these challenges I learned many lessons about managing time and staying focused. After turning in the project we  feedback on camera angles and focusing shots. We did not change very much because by that point the project was over and there was not much we could do in the time allowed. I the end this video was not the best quality but it resembled the actual video well and we got done everything we needed to. Short Film: For this project we started by everyone writing synopsis, treatments, and scripts then we voted as a class picking five scripts we wanted to make.

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.
