My favorite music video is the greatest song and music video from 2013, What Does the Fox Say. The cinematography is really good for what they had and its not like the song was super serious. It was about the sound that animals make and the fact that nobody knows what sound a fox makes. The lighting at the beginning is beautiful and you can tell that it is late afternoon or evening. The art design is really good and makes sense, you can tell that it is a party in a relatively big house near the woods. The story was about two guys who are at an animal costume party and they are trying to figure out the sound that a fox makes. It starts with one guy sitting on the couch singing and proceeds to go into the wood with a group of background dancers and him in a fox outfit. The story was told with dancing and sounds in the song that sound like what a fox might sound like. I really love the lighting in the forest when they are dancing and it really brings out the fog that they had. We le

                                         Movie Trailer   The movie trailer was a project we’re we hade to pick a movie trailer and re make it the best we can. We had to pick a movie that jade to do with highschool. My group was Eathan Goss, Brogan Best, Ava Clayton and Sean Slicer. The movie we had was Napoleon Dynamite. Eathan played as Napoleon and Ava, Brogan, Sean and me played different side characters in the trailer. Sean was the only editor because he was the only one who liked doing it. He was also really good at it. I helped with continuity and making sure the shot looked good. Ava helped with the camera a lot and Brogan brought all the props. There was actually a lot of different places in the trailer but we made it work really well with only a couple.  I think our project turned out very well and Sean did a really good job editing. Eathan was also a great Napoleon and he did a really good job copying his voice and attitude. In the end I really liked the end peace.

                                             Music Video The Music Video project was were there were teams of four and we got assigned a music video that we had to recreate. We recreated the song called The Man Who Sold the World.  The people in my group were Carter Dalton, Cain Mayer, and Alex Tolman. The song didn’t have a music video so we hade to be creative and make our own video. We filmed outside on a sidewalk. Cain was the one who picked the song and he had a vision for what he wanted to do but I don’t think anyone caught on or knew what he wanted to do. But if we finished it, it would have been something like a sad kind of mood because the main character lost a friend. But then at the end they meet each other and it becomes happier. I wasn’t the most satisfied with our video and we could have done a lot better. And it wasn’t finished so if we finished it would have been a lot better. No one knew what the song was so that was kind of hard to figure out what to do, b

                                     Semester Reflection                                                             Final Project The final semester project was ONW Now Sophomore edition which took about a week to get the b-role and edit my teams side of the video and two days to get the news ready and film it. Some of my teams challenges were getting an interview with Mr. Zucc. It was also hard to get some of the b-role of them handing out the laptops. The first day of news filming was kind of chill but didn't film anything but the second day was pretty wild. everyone did a good job but one of the anchors mics stoped working. I learned what the upper class-men in video do every day. I also learned how much concentration it takes to make ONW Now. Some of the feedback that we got was that one of the anchors was talking a little to fast but she fixed it during the shooting. My overall opinion on the video is that it was pretty good. Everyone did a really good job and worked

                                          Final reflection                                                                                                                                                                             Describe                                                                   ONW Now sophomore edition was what the 10th grade video class did for the final. Our class split up into multiple groups to cover different stories for ONW Now. We had about 5 groups for 5 different stories and two anchors and two sports anchors.                                               Explain  My group did a story about the new laptops that just got deployed. We got an interview with the principle Mr. Zucc and b-role of the laptops being handed out and students using the laptops. We felt this was a pretty important topic because they were brand new and Mr. Zucc explained what was going to happen with the laptops in the future.                              

                                      Feature News Story                                                Describe  My teams feature news story was about the graphic design branch of the Ecom program. We           interviewed a student and a teacher to ask them about what graphic design works on.                                                Explain  We decided to do graphic designe when we were going to interview a new student who was in ecom but we didn’t know how we were going to get to her class and interview her so we chose to do graphic design instead.                                                Reflect I think that it turned out pretty well and the quality was decent but the lighting could have been a lot better. The b-role was a little shaky but other than that I think it turned out fine.
