How to Print Challenge


 My team had the idea to make a video about how to print for a school assignment but still make it a little funny. The story is that we printed a piece of paper and someone has to go get the paper. I was the camera man, Andrew was the actor, Alex planned the shots that we shoot. The editing took time to get used to since i have never used it before. I used Adobe Premiere Pro to edit this video. While making and editing this video I learned how to operate a camera on a tripod and all of the possible angles that make a great video. This took some time to make with some mistakes but we managed to finish. If I had to do anything differently I would make it less choppy and have the shots be a little more level. If I had to do something the same I would keep the music and the shots. If I had to experiences from this project it would be what shots work for a specific type of  movements, the music should match the pace of the character.

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...
