final reflection

The first semester of video productions was very enjoyable. We learned how to put clips together using premiere last year but this semester we learned lots of new things about premiere. We learned how to make different clips flow together and not look choppy. My favorite part was learning how to film and edit an interview. We learned techniques about setting up the interview, where and where not to film an interview, and where the audio levels need to be. We learned how to make a lower third and film voice overs. At the very end we got to put everything we had learned and film a sophomore edition of onw now, which is why I wanted to join e comm in the first place. 

This semester we learned lots of new things. One thing I though I did well was putting b roll over the interview. When we did our first feature story I was scared to edit it because I didn't know where to start. After watching a few examples I gotta better idea and went for it. I found that storyboarding really helped to make the video flow together. I found moments when the person I was interviewing would talk about something such as the crowd going wild and I was able to find b roll of everyone in the stands cheering at a band competition.

Something I can improve is tightening my edits. When I would present my video in class I would notice that I could have edited certain parts out. My video would be too long but when I was editing I thought I needed that certain part in it. I need to work on taking more clips out of my videos. 

To make sure I meet my goal of tightening my edits I will take more time editing. I found that I would take lots of days filming and less editing. So I wouldn't be able to make my video the best it could be. Having more days to edit will allow me to take my time on my video and get it to its full potential.

self performance review

Self performance review Project 1 For one of my projects we were assigned to take ten pictures and then put then together to create a panorama. I chose to use pictures that I took of New York over spring break. The project took around a week to complete. I faced a few challenges with my design. It was hard to find somewhere to start because I had a lot goin on in my pictures. I found that the pictures I chose had a lot of buildings so I had to include some other pictures I took from the vacation so I would have a variety of pictures in my panorama. Doing this project I learned a lot about photoshop. With putting multiple pictures together you have to make sure they blend. I started to use the blend tool as I put certain pictures together. Sometimes the blend tool wouldn't work so I would use the clone stamp tool to take parts of a picture and put it on the picture next to it. I was told to so...

How to create and print a document

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...

My personality type

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...
