Semester Reflection

                                     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 really hard.


                                       ONW 1 in 2000 Feature News Story 

The ONW 1 in 2000 an interview were we had to find someone around the school to interview. The project planning and filming took about a week and the editing took about a couple days. It was kind of hard to figure out who we were going to interview and we had trouble getting the b-role. I learned that it is very helpful to have a mic and interviews went different than I originally thought they went.


During the shooting I think I used my time pretty well but editing was a little more difficult. I got more distracted during the editing faze. Most of the time I didn't finish early but if I did I would take some time to maybe polish it up a little bit. If I was behind on a project then i came i after school witch I did a lot.

My areas of strength are that I can follow directions and I like being in the video as well as filming the video. Some people only are looking to be a camera operator or an actor but I like doing both. I just need to get better at editing. I need to improve my acting. I do like acting but I am not really good at it. I try not to get distracted wile filming or editing but sometimes it happens.

The part I loved most about the semester was the final project. The final project was just really fun and it was more than we usually do for a video. I think I would have changed the self portrait video because personally I didn't really like doing that. But thats probably because mine wasn't very good and I couldn't think of anything to do for it. My goal for next year would be to try to work a little more faster so that I could turn everything in on time.

Movie Trailer

                                         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 gr...

2020 Updated Film Reel

Image
This film reel was the updated version of my last one that had some of my sophomore work in it. But this time I only used this years work only with a couple of seconds from one of my sophomore films. The films that were featured were the Subway commercial and The Sandwich Hunt short film. They both had to do with sandwiches so I thought that it worked well but I also thought it didn't give enough variety. It basically told the story of a lighthearted situation portrayed in a serious way, but it's still funny. In the Subway commercial I was lighting and I also had to voice over when we lost the audio. In the sandwich hunt I was an actor and director. The cinematography in The Sandwich Hunt was slightly better in my opinion. Really only because the short film was longer so it had more variety in shots. But the lighting in both of them were pretty good. The shots of them on the bench in the commercial were done with a reflector and it gave off more light but still looking like...

The squares on the outside that are green, orange, and violet are the secondary  colors. All the small triangles are the tertiary colors.                                                            What I Learned  I learned that there are different color schemes that are used with the color wheel like warm and cool colors, analogous, tr...
