Sidewalk Chalk Art

At first my group and I had no idea what to do. We were even kind of confused on what exactly what the project was. The first thing we did, individually, was think of symbols to represent us. A teacher gave us a great example, the Presidential Seal. The Eagle represents America, the arrow for war and the olive branch for peace. That helped us as a group to put things together and think outside the box.

For my symbol I used a ballet shoe to represent me as a dancer. For the rest of my group there were ants, an elephant, basketball, and a fleur de lis. Each one of these symbols had a meaning behind it to represent each person. To put these all together we, tried, to make it look like the word (key word tried). An example is the elephant, it takes place as Africa.

For the most part my group pretty much played it by ear. I think we thought it would turn out a little better than it did, but it could've been a lot worse. Looking back now we should've thought it out and planned it a little bit better. In all this activity was really fun and I got to learn a little bit about everyone, not just people in my group, and I would give it a 10/10!

Nature Man

For the Nature Man project we had to use all the skills we learned in Adobe Photoshop to create a better version of the original picture. He's called Nature Man because some pictures that were already provided for us in the server had to do with nature. The pictures consisted of roots, a cliff, trees and water. I restarted several times creating Nature Man because I didn't like what I had come up with. My first creation was horrible. I think I didn't like it because the only pictures I had used the ones provided and nature doesn't interest me. The second time I was going for a blue theme. The suit was going to be many different shades of blues mixed together. That didn't work out because the jacket looked too fake and it wouldn't blend very well. For the third time the picture above is what I came up with. After trying to go with a blue theme I changed my mind and decided to go with purple since it's my favorite color. But I knew I couldn...

Semester 2- Video

Music Video My group decided to recreate High School Musical 2's, Bet On It, music video. The first thing we decided on was who was playing Troy in the music video. We had a perfect match and it was one of our own team members, Alex Pauli. After pre-production we were ready to film. The filming process was a little hard. My group wasn't very smart for choosing a music video set outdoors in the summer time when it was the middle of January and February. My main role in the filming process was teaching Alex the dance moves and helping with certain shots in the video. The shots for this video were not that difficult. Most of them were regular shots we could shoot on a tripod but sometimes we had to hold it to pan with Alex. Overall I thought this project was really fun. The team that I was with worked well together and we had some fun while creating this music video. If I were to do this again I would pick a different music video just because of the weather. Even th...

Procedures Video

For this project we had to create a video of procedures done around the school. My group and I chose to do a procedure over a fire drill. The first thing we had to was create a storyboard to sketch out all the shots we wanted to use. We had to use at least 6 different shots. I feel like story boarding was the hardest part of this project. Everyone had so many ideas and sometimes we couldn't agree but we eventually came up with our plan. Next we began to shoot the video and shot it over a period of 2 days. This part was very easy because we already came up with a plan but it was very time consuming. In the video you could see we went outside and if it wasn't right we would have to go through many steps to go back out again. The editing process was time consuming too. We had filmed so many different clips and I didn't know which ones I wanted to use. Eventually I figured it out and was very pleased with my video. One thing I would change would be the alarm sound. Instead o...
