People Repellent

People Repellent
Our project was to think up a product, and then using that produce design logos, websites, animate Web Ads, and produce a Commercial.


The project took most of Quarter 4, and required a lot of focus and hard work.
Along the way we hit several bumps, including people (and myself) getting behind in the work.
A struggle that I had was learning about weird kinks in software, which I mostly screamed out.
Something else I learned was that sometimes when something makes sense to ME, it doesn't make any sense to other people.
I think all of the work I did in Q4 was too the best of my abilities.



In class, I mostly started projects, but most of my work was done on my computer at home.
After I had completed all of my in class work however, I admittedly didn't do much.
To help keep my skills I do most of my class work outside, as well as work on little side projects to help improve my skills.

I think my biggest strengths in eComm are Cutting video, After Effects Animation, and Website Design are my biggest strengths in eComm.

An area that needs much improvement however is My Sketchup work.




The thing I loved most about this quarter was working with a team to create marketing for a product that we created.
I learned a lot about team work, and while team work can be hard and distracting, when done right it can be very productive.
Something I'd like to do next year  is work on longer video projects.

Working on People Repellent with Nick, Avery, and Brynna has been the highlight of my year in eComm, and I hope for more projects like this one next year.

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...
