A Ridiculous Chase Scene;

A Ridiculous Chase Scene;

     Our 3rd and final project in the video strand of e9 was to create a chase scene, and utilize the techniques we learned from the 2 previous ones (How to Print, and An Action Concept). With 2 characters moving through the environment, it added another level of difficulty in trying to get the perspective angling right, without breaking the 180 degree rule. Our group also tried out some new angle ideas to try and maximize the drama/mood of the film, most of which I think turned out really well. One of the main challenges was that we filmed on 2 different days, and unfortunately the weather was completely different, so in post production I had to try and edit the sky to make it look similar to the first shots. While the look isn't as realistic as I'd like it to be, it's certainly better than leaving it as it was. I decided that sense I had never actually been in front of the camera, that for our last project I would give it a try, and I think it turned out really well. We tried to go for a quirky/clumsy vibe from the person being chased, and I think the running, as well as the screaming really tied it together. The one problem I had always run into in the last couple projects was a lack of footage, but for this one we captured more than enough, so that we didn't need to try to stretch out our footage. Overall I thought the scene turned out really well, as a short skit, that doesn't take really take itself seriously. (And no memes were included, at Mrs. Zimmerli's request.)

Personal Project Blog Post (First Feature Story)

https://youtu.be/1j3amFT7t38 Our first real journalism assignment was to create a feature story about an assigned partner in our video hour within a timeframe of about 2 weeks. At first we had a very basic conversation, to figure out things that the other was interested in and begin formulating interview questions. After we had finished writing questions we were ready to begin the filming process. We found locations to shoot, and then filmed using the Panasonic Cameras & Lav mics to better capture the audio. We then walked around the school a couple times, finding good places to get BRoll. Then it was time to edit. I tried my best to make at least semi-professional lower thirds, and wrote a voice over to tell the story. I learned how to use Adobe Media Encoder to ingest footage, and how to use Premiere's Voiceover Feature. The next time, it would be beneficial to get better BRoll, as well as film in a better location to make it more visually interesting. Alth...

Wayback Machine Blog

Wayback Machine Blog I decided to compare Netflix for this blog because it is a long running service, and has changed their business structure sense 2008 so I thought it would be interesting. A big difference from the 2008 website is the simplification of the website. In 2008 the website had a lot of tabs and buttons, but in 2018 the website has been streamlined to make is simple to sign up.  Another difference is the color scheme used. In 2018 the colors are maroon red and black, but in 2008 they were using a white creme color.  The 2008 website has a big focus on renting DVDs, while the current website makes it clear that it is a video STREAMING platform.  On the new site all of the information about the site is simplified, while in 2008 there was a lot of writing to read through In 2008 the whole website was on one page but not you have to scroll to find any information All of the logos and fonts are new and designed for netflix

Movie Trailer Reflection

Movie Trailer Reflection What was the scope of the project, what was the assignment? The assignment was to find a movie trailer on youtube, for a movie that was at least high school themed, and recreate it. What was your process? We started out in storyboarding and scripting. We did a paper storyboard, but I also attempted a digital storyboard which proved to be very useful for the efficiency of filming. We then filmed all the shots that we could get with Maicy. Originally we were going to do the entire trailer, but we had a main actor quit on the day we were supposed to film the majority of his scenes so we then adapted and turned the project into a short Netflix teaser trailer. I then completed the editing.  What did you learn along the way?      Technically (Software/Hardware etc.) Digital storyboards are very useful            Professionally (Collaboration, Teamwork, Project Deadlines) Casting for...
