AB Sequence



In this project I learned how to make the 6-shots look better and not as shaky as before. We had an idea that a student was trying to sneak out of school but there are a couple of hall monitors in the way. My partners were great in the making of this video they really helped a lot. My partners were Alexander Evans and Gabrielle Martell. Alex was the main actor as he was the student trying to get out of school. I was the camera person but I had a minor role in the video as a security guard. Gabrielle also had a roll as one of the security guard and she helped me setup the shots and told me whatI was supposed to do regarding the camera.  The editing process was pretty easy with some minor bumps. Unfortunately I couldn't make it 45-60 seconds without having any clips be to long and boring. Alex had the idea that we would do a mission impossible kind of thing but we had to make a couple of changes. Along the way we added some ideas to the video like having Gabrielle watch the security camera and the walk out to look for him. My partners were great in this project they helped a lot and really added some humor to the mix. Next time we will try to make the shots equal the required length for the video.

Short Film

For this project, everyone had to make a script and present it to the class and we voted on who's we should do. Mine didn't make the cut so I went with my friend Connor's script which was titled Franklin's Cake. The concept of his script was that there is a scientist who forgot his anniversary with his girlfriend so he makes a cake for her but he accidentally adds in a chemical that brings the cake to life and it tries to kill his girlfriend. The team I had on this project was Connor Hellwinckel as the director, Ryan Moore as the editor, John Cardaronella as the camera operator, and Ethan McCulloch as the UPM, I was the art director. Pre-production took longer than we would have liked it too because our script editors kept changing things that the other didn't like. Our actors were Quinn Gash as Franklin and Sydney Largen as Karen with Kellan Harris as the voice of the cake. With being the art director I learned how to be more creative with the stuff that will be ...

Professional Project Review

Image
For this blog post, we had to review music videos and write a professional review on them. The song I chose is Not Gonna Die by Skillet. the video follows a little girl and her friend which is a lion fighting a 6 headed dragon but they keep getting hurt and knocked down. The video ends with the two outsmarting the dragon instead of overpowering it and they almost die if it wasn't for the buildings that fell on top of it. Even though the video was entirely animated it still uses a few of the principles of filmmaking.  There isn't something new with each edit but there is for most of them. there are a lot of different angles and shot sizes.  There aren't any huge jump cuts. The story is unique to me because the music video is entirely animated which  I think they did very well. One element I would apply to my own work is how well it's edited with the words matching what the singer is saying. One of the things I think it could improve on is the number of running shots ...

Semester reflection

This semester was pretty good all of the videos we made were pretty good. My favorite two are the short film and the music video even though we didn't finish the music video. My partners for the music video were: Malik Alexander, Lucas Wright, and Jeremiah Henderson. The song we used was Cradles by NCS. We had some trouble with filming because not everyone was able to be at the recording because of work. We did what we could with that problem and got it done, but we couldn't get all the clips we needed. In the short story, I worked with DJ, Malik, Ariana, Caitlyn. The story was about these two teens named Andre and Draymond who were played by Malik and DJ, and they decide to rob a mafia boss for money. Then after they do they get jumped by two goons and taken back to the mob boss named Vinny where he will decide their fate. I was co-director and helped set up some of the shots and Caitlyn and Ariana were the editors. I thought all of the videos we made were good but these two w...
