Music video blog 


When we were assigned this project we were told to pick a song and make a video rein-acting  the original music video. The first step of this project was to pick a group. With working in a group comes teamwork and agreeing on things like the song, dates we were going to film, and assigning jobs in the group. My group originally was going to use the song "Tonge tied" by group love. We decided that we were going to change our song because the music video was in an older house and had a party going on. One of my groups biggest struggles was finding times to film so we decided that we wanted to film our video at school. We finally decided on the song "Congratulations" by post Malone because it took place in a filming studio just like the one we have here at school. The video also had the same "party" theme that the Tonge tied video had so we were somewhat sticking to our original idea. 


After we began the beginning process of picking a song and idea we had to get everything ready for the video. My job as art director I had to choose all of the props we would be using in our video. It was fairly easy because we were rein-acting the video so we had to use very similar if not the same props. In the video they had a dog, a tv, a bat, champagne, party hats, confetti, and some illegal substances. So we had to substitute the tv for a piñata and hit it with a stick instead of a bat. We brought in sparkling cider instead of champagne and lollipops instead of the illegal substance. We used confetti, a dog, and party hats in our video. After the props were ready we had to set dates to film. Between me and my other partners we only had two days that we would all be there on the set filming days on the calendar. We used those two days to film as much as we could, one of the days was a block day so we had enough time to film our extras and all of their scenes. We had to film scenes of Morgan on one of the editing days because we ran out of time but we ended up getting everything filmed. 


After filming came the editing of the video. Editing the video was easier than any other video before because we had a video to look off of and copy it. The first thing I had to do was sort through all of the clips and delete all of the bloopers and keep all of the clips I would be using. The second step was to put all of the clips in order and add them to the song. The only other thing that was different was that I had to add credits to the video because of copyright. The only problem I ran into was having the lip-syncing match up with the song. There were a few clips where the actor sung too fast or too slow so it didn't match up and I would have to put b roll over it.

final blog

graphic design final reflection blog One of my favorite parts about graphic design was making the vector illustrator portrait. For this project we had to choose an image of ourselves, a family member, or a family pet. We then had to choose if we wanted to do an organic vector which is tracing the facial features on the objects face or a low poly geometric vector which is when you make lots of different and tiny triable on the subject. I chose to do the low poly geometric because I felt it would look better on my dog. It took me around two weeks to complete this project. I was gone towards the end of the first week, if I wasn't gone I most likely would have finished the project sooner. I faced a few challenges along the way. At the very beginning of the project I didn't know how big to make the triangles. I decided to do small triangles on my dogs features and bigger triangles on my dogs body. Another challenge I faced was having all of my triangles looking very similar whic

ab sequence

In this project we learned even more about using the six shots while filming. This video could be longer than the video we filmed for the creating a document, so we had a lot more time. Since we had more time we had to switch our angle of the shot more often. Because if you watched a video and all the shots were taken at the same angle it would be boring. In this project we had our character going all over the place where in the other one our character was only in the library. So we had more action in this video which was much more fun to film! When me and my other three partners were brainstorming and sketching for this project we had so many ideas that it was hard to narrow it down to one big idea! The first and biggest thing we had to figure out was where our characters would end up. Because we didn't want to be on one side of the school then have to find enough stopping points to get to the other side of the school and still have the viewer know where we were going.  We edi

movie trailer blog post

movie trailer blog post   the project process When we were assigned this project we were asked to pick a high school movie trailer and make one recreating it. My group and I decided to re create the breakfast club movie trailer. We thought it would be fairly easy because most of the video takes place in a school library and the rest in the school hallways. We had to plan out filming and planning days for the project which is something my group and I didn't do well on. The next step was to story board, we had to go through the whole movie trailer and describe and sketch out each frame. When it was finally time to film it was very close to spring break, we had two days of school left and we planned to film all of our footage in those days. Unfortunately we didn't get much done those days, the footage we did get had actors that dropped out so we couldn't't use any of it. When we came back from break we took around a couple of days to find more actors. The actors we
