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...

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 gr...

                                             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 finis...

                                     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 t...

                                      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.               ...

                                   Describe In my self portrait video, I washed half of of my car because I didn't really know what I would record and it might have taken too long if i had tried to wash the hole thing. I guess that I wanted to show people that I can wash a car. This was a random thought that my dad came up with. But he videoed it pretty well and he didn't shake very much.                                                                         Explain I decided to not move the camera and follow my movement because I thought it would be shaky and my dad was filming so i did not think that it would look to good. I was going to do like a first person video of me washing the car and then "a...

Final Reflection For the past 9 weeks, my group and I came up with a product to change the world. What my group came up with... wasn't anything people haven't thought of before but it was pretty cool. We had to make a 3D model, website commercial, add, and coupon. Our product was Smart Lens, virtual reality and a phone in one device, glasses. When coming up with this product my team started talking about glasses and then I realized that I was the only person in my group that didn't have glasses. It was pretty fun to work with my team to make this product and it turned out pretty well. I made the add and we all made our own separate commercial and decided who's to use. We ended up using Liv's video. But here is my commercial.

This week we did a web project with CSS stiles and CARP. it was a poem called "Another Reason Why I Don't Keep a Gun in the House." Even though it doesn't really have to do with having guns in the house, it just talks about a dog barking. we had a check list and we had to change thins like the type, color, and the font and letters. There were 11 sections with a certain amount of thing that we needed to change. C ONTRAST- Something that is different from everything else A LIGNMENT- Aligned in a straight line, correct position. R EPETITION- Repeating something that has already been said or written. P ROXIMITY- Nearness in space, time, or relationship. I learned how to use Dreamweaver better and I learned how to use some code. I'm not really in to web design but this project was kind of fun.

This week we made a video about how to print a document. Me and the other person in my group went to the library to film. The project before this was the same thing but instead of filming it we took pictures. We also only had to film one person instead of both people like last time. This was my first time filming on a real video with a tripod so there were multiple mistakes. I'm not the most still person and I'm kind of shaky. There was one point at the end were I think I bumped it a littler and there was a decent shake. There was also one shot were my partner was making a confused face and he was on the very edge of the frame and it looks really bad. But there were some good shots also. Some of the close up shots at the beginning were alright. I've learned to try harder not to shake as much and zoom in on some of the shots more.

        Today we took a survey to see what kind of personality we had. There were about 50 questions that we had to answer and it chose based on what we said. I got ESFP. ESFP stands for Extraverted, Sensing, Feeling, and Perceiving. I am mostly Extraverted with 34%, 25% Feeling, 16% Sensing, and 3% Perceiving. Someone who is ESFP is someone who is energized by time spent with others, (Extraverted), focuses on facts and details rather than ideas and concepts, (Sensing), makes feeling and value based decisions, (Feeling), prefers to be spontaneous and flexible rather than planed and organized, (Perceiving). Some famous people I am like are Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton who were U.S. Presidents. I am also like a lot of singers and actors. there are also two bad people that I have the same personality as. one of them is named Benito Mussolini who was a dictator of Fascist Italy. The other one is Idi Amin who was a dictator of Uganda Then ...

Analogous                This logo uses analogous colors of green and yellow. I think this company probably chose these colors because they want people to think its environmental healthy. This logo uses analogous colors of red, violet, blue. I think that the company chose these colors because it has to do with wine and wine is these colors. Complementary  This logo uses complementary colors of orange and blue. I think this company chose these colors because that drink is an orange flavored drink. This logo uses complementary colors of orange of blue. I think this company chose these colors because blue tells people they can be trusted and the orange represents enthusiasm for people using the software. Warm This logo uses warm colors of red and orange. I think this company chose these colors because it serves hot food. This logo uses warm colors of red and orange. I think this compan...

                                                       What Was The Project The project was a color wheel that uses primary, secondary, and tertiary. I used Adobe Illustrator to complete the project. I used one circle for the outside and two triangles for the inside. The circles on the outside that are red, blue, and yellow are the primary colors. 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...

Last week my group and I worked on the draft to our chalk project. Our group had four people and we all came up with different ideas for the drawing. Me and another group member wanted to make it as cringe as possible and the other group members didn't care. One of the group members wanted to do a fidget spinner. I wanted to do a a stick man dabbing and an emoji because why not and its one of the most cringe movie ever. Half of the group didn't really do much of anything, and me and the other group member got them to help a little bit and they actually had some good drawings. The overall drawing wasn't very good but it was still pretty fun and we kind had some random things in there.
