Nature man project  ideas As soon as the project was assigned to us I wanted to use water and thing of nature. I couldn't figure out how to make the water part look good. So I ended up just using the pictures that were in the server. The pictures were of trees and outdoor things so it was still close to my original idea. I didn't want the pictures to look exactly like they did in the server so I tried to change them up a bit. I added few effects and layers to make the pictures look more original.  the process   When I was doing this project I was thinking that I wanted my project to look subtle and not as bright. I really wanted the pictures to blend and not have a huge contrast between the pictures. I started with the hair because I really wanted the hair to be the focus of the picture. so I had a bigger contrast between the jacket and his hair. Th I did the jacket and the little v inside the jacket and had those blend together so the hair could stand out....

                                  Photo editing in photoshop what I learned  I learned a lot while doing this project. It was our first project that we had to do this school year, I thought it was going to be really hard because  I hadn’t done anything with Photoshop since the last day of school.  Luckily the project was easier than expected because we followed step-by-step off of videos.  I liked this project a lot because we got to do more photo editing while last year we did more of creating logos.  I feel that I learned so much from just doing this first project and I can’t wait to see what I will learn throughout the school year.  Tools  Like I said before we are doing more photo editing this year. With that comes a lot of new tools that we did not use before. It was really fun to see all of the tools in photoshop, I didn’t even know you could d...

Group project For this project the teachers assigned us in small groups, in those groups we were to create a product that doesn't exist or improve a product that does exist. The teachers also told us that after we create everything for our project we were going to present our product like people do on the show shark tank. Going into this project me and my group knew that we were going to have to make this product and everything that came along with it very professional and something that everyone could use. Me and my group finally decide that we were going to create the flare coffee cup. Flare is a heated coffee cup with adjustable temperature that will keep your drink warm all day long. This whole project took the whole fourth quarter. We spent two days brainstorming ideas, two weeks in animation, two weeks in video, and finally two weeks in graphic design. The biggest challenge in this project for me and my group was the first couple of days. We had a reall...

After taking the Meyers-Briggs test it said my personality type was ENTJ. I am 9% extravert, 16% intuitive,1% thinking, and 16% judging. The test also said I take control of the situation and if there is a problem I try and fix it. I try to find new solutions instead of using other solutions I've used in the past or things other people have done. I like to plan out everything I do and set goals for myself while helping others set theirs, I also tend to share my knowledge. I went to another site and it said I like to spend my time talking to others. It also said I think through all of my decisions before I make them. I excel at logical reasoning and am quick-witted. People who have my type of personality are usually refered to as the commander because of our drive to take charge. We also went to a website where it told us celebrities who have the same personality type as us. A few people who are ENTJ are Napoleon because he was a general and emporer of France, Bill gates b...

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...

For this assignment we had to make a video about how to create and print a document in thirty seconds. We had two parts to this project. Part A was making a story board including sketches of where the scene would take place and what kind of shot we would be filming in. After we got that approved we took the I pad and took pictures using the main points that we had down on our storyboard. After those pictures were taken we made a google slides showing the pictures we took. We also had to list what type of shot it was and what the actor was doing in the shot. Part B was actually making the video.We used every spot that we had pictures of on our story board and google docs except made those shots into a video. So we had to show more of the transitioning which was mostly walking inbetween our shots. After filming day we uploaded our videos to the computers. We used Adobe premiere pro to put the videos together. We had to do a lot of trimming and adjusting the videos to get it thirty seco...

The Project This past week in e-Comm we had to make our own website. We used the program dreamweaver while doing this project. To get through the project we watched videos on google classroom that mr. Olsen had made. For our website we had a home page, a project page, and we had to include a side bar with links to the school, e-Comm, and our blog page. For the home page we made an elevator pitch , which is basically just talking about our best qualities. For our project t page we had to put some of our projects we have done in e-Comm so far. I chose two projects from graphic design and another two from animation. We also had to include the blog posts that went along with these four projects.  What I learned I learned a lot while doing this project. We learned how to use a new program dreamweaver, all of the different tools and their functions. There were a lot of pieaces that went along with dreamweaver, compared to photoshop and other programs we have used in the past...
