Come Sail Away

This is a music video that we made in my video class. The scope of this project was to create a music video that was a minute and a half long. We first had to come up with what song we wanted to do and the story of the video. We then created a storyboard of all of the shots we wanted. I learned that in order to work as a coherent group, you must listen to everyones suggestions. I would probably not have done this plot with this song if i were to redo this. I would still create the suspense and tone of the story. Finally, my thoughts throughout this video were that we had a good story and good song but our shots could have told the story a bit better.

My logo represents me because it shows a fun, cheerful, and happy view on life. My process of creating this logo is to start with the image I wanted to portray. I wanted to show that I am happy and upbeat and enjoy doing the things I love. I then started with a flower shape and added color. Once I realized I didn't like that then I added to it and started with an ellipse then rotated copies of that shape to create the base of my logo. I ended up with the flower/sun shape and I really like it. I learned how to make shapes that are not provided and how to incorporate myself throughout the logo. I think I did a really nice job or representing myself and showing my personality and attitude. I think I would change the detail of it and add a little more detail to it. I need to work on the way I create logos and not just jump into the design phase.

When making my font I learned many things such as how to edit a specific letter or part of the font to really make it my own. Something I did really well is that I used color and effects to create a different look and to make it original. I would probably try to do a little more detail and a little more life. I want to learn how to make a grass effect and be able to use it in an easy and efficient way.

Google

When looking at the Google logo I notice many colors and a simple font. The colors represent a fun, calm, and smart theme for the entire website. The red represents excitement and passion. The blue represents peace and stability. The green represents environment and safety. The yellow represents cheerfulness and joy. Google wants to be represented as a universal website and wants to be used around the world. The font is a simple font used to represent the easiness of google and that it shows that anyone can use it.

Stalked

This video was about a girl who was getting chased and stalked and how she had to get away. We wanted to try to be creative and come up with unique shots. It was an ABAB sequence. This was challenging and helpful for many reasons. One reason it was challenging was that we had to have many shots and they had to move within only a few seconds each. Another thing that was challenging was how to get creative with shots. This was helpful because it taught me how to utilize my surroundings and come up with different shots. If I could change anything I would retake a couple of shots and correct the lighting in some shots. I would keep the story and the way we got from one place to another. We spent many hours filming and editing to make this video the best it could be. I learned that sometimes shots look different when shooting them then when watching them.  I thought this was a great project and I would definitely do it again.

Universal

This font is called Universal and it represents me in many ways.  It represents the way i am creative and someone who enjoys to have fun and who wants to express herself through different arts. The fact that this font is all capitalized shows that i am outgoing and likes to meet new people. The soft edges showcases my calmer side and shows that i can be serious and passionate. 

10 Shot Sequence

In this assignment we had to make a 10 shot sequence video. We had to get one person from one side of the building to the other in 10 creative shots. We were given the shots we used. The shots we used were close-up, medium, extreme wide, point of view (POV), over the shoulder (OTS), and wide. Close-up shots are shots that a very close to the object. Medium shots are shots that are waist up. Extreme wide are being able to see the entire background and object in the shot. Point of view is the camera shot from the objects perspective. Over the shoulder is a shot that is behind the object but still being able to see the scene. Wide shots are shots that are whole body shots and being able to still see background. What I learned from this assignment was how to set the tripod and camera to fit the shot that I needed. It was a little difficult to make sure the camera was in focus and the white balance was perfect.
