ONW 1 in 2000

Blaise Keasler is an outgoing girl who loves makeup and Halsey. She is a Sagittarius and likes to use tarot cards. I made my ONW 1 in 2000 video about Blaise because she has a lot to say and is an interesting person.

I already knew Blaise very well so it was hard to learn too much more but I enjoyed talking to her because who doesn't want to talk to Blaise Keasler??? I thought it was very fun to be able to edit a video about such an intriguing person.

I had Blaise help me with  my voice over because I didn't know what to say about the video because I thought she said everything she needed to say. I couldn't get my voice over to sound the way I wanted it to so I eventually just stuck with the last one I did.

I really liked the back ground go my video in the dressing room because she talks about performing so I feel like the setting really fit with the video its self.

 If I were to redo this assignment I would make sure I focused the camera better and I would also out her name at the beginning because you don't know her name until the very end of the video.

Overall I enjoyed this project more than the last one because I never felt rushed and I felt like I was able to do everything I needed to do to make the video as god as it could be for this specific assignment.

Photoshop Reflection

Throughout all the photoshop tutorials I learned how to use the different tools to make each photo visually appealing. During this assignment I learned that focus is extremely important and that it is okay to mess up because that is how you learn. I learned project management and the ability to put a project to the side and breathe for a second when the project isn't working ( For example when the pictures or videos disappeared from the graphics server). I believe that these tutorials will help me in the future because I had to figure a lot of things out for myself an help my fellow classmates when they needed help. I think that this project helped me with my leadership skills and I can take it with me in the future eComm classes. I was able to pick up what the tutorials were saying very quickly and apply it. My weaknesses were definitely  being a social butterfly. It is hard for me to work in completely silent classrooms especially when I am supposed to be creative because I get inspired by what others say and I apply that to my work.  If I could do this project again I would try to make the work a little more my own instead of just following the tutorials. I would also work harder to finish faster. If I did it again I would spend more time on the challenge project. I fell as if I did well on this assignment. 

 

ONW procedures

In this video there is an excellent example of school involvement. for this project we had to show a good behavior in a 30 second video. My partner and I chose school involvement in Olathe Northwest theatre. We chose this concept because we know some people are afraid to out them selves out there. We are hoping that this video shows students that if you want to have a great high school experience you should get involved!

In Pre Production we were able to visualize every thing we wanted in our video by storyboarding. storyboarding is when you sketch and describe what all your shots are going to looking like. When we came to a disagreement about a shot, we would find a way to either put both in or to combine the two ideas to make something even better.

Production got a little harder because there were so many people around while we were filming so we had to keep telling other students to get out of our shots. It ended up taking us three days to film when it should have only taken two.

In post production we faced the most difficult part of our first assignment as video students. Having to switch from Final Cut Pro to Adobe Premiere Pro was a hard adjustment for I was very comfortable working in final cut. Both my partner and I had trouble importing our footage but we eventually got it and now we are prepared for our next assignment

From this assignment I learned that you can't be afraid to tell people to get out of your shot because if you don't, IT WILL PUT YOU BEHIND!!!

If I could change my video I would fix the white balance so the shots look the same, I would work on the focus of the camera, and I would retake a few of the shots so that they are more visually appealing.

I really liked the sequence of my shots because it told the story. I also really liked the concept of the video.

I will make sure that everyone that is working on my video is 100% focused because i did not like having to do part of the video at home and I also didn't like having my assignment late because of technical problems so i would give my self time for mistake or error in order to make sure everything is on time and ready to go for my teacher or client.

I really enjoyed this video. It was a good learning experience and now I am ready to tackle what ever comes next!
