Updated Film Reel blogpost




The overall concept behind the order I put my video clips in is progression. I start with the first thing I did in Ecomm and then go through all of my work up to the most recent. For the first few video assignments, I was the editor but for the last few I was the art director. I showed good cinematography by picking out the best clips from each video.  I edited the clips together using fades and cuts that matched the tempo of the song. What I would do the same is to keep them in order of the first project I did to the last one. Because I feel that one of the best ways to show what someone is capable of is the progression they have made throughout the year. What I would do differently is change the length of the later clips because they are too long. The only thing missing from my film reel is the music video that we are working on.

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

Anatomy of Typography

The project was to analyze the anatomy in letters. We had to find 10 different typefaces on our name. If I had to do one thing differently I would find more difficult Typefaces to recognize. First what we had to do was type our name on the type line then analyze the different parts of it.

Senior Capstone Final

       Over the course of my 4 years in e-Comm, I can say that I have definitely improved in the five Guarantees. The one that improved the most was technical skills because we constantly learned new things about software or filming equipment. When it comes to communication I learned how important it is to be clear and make sure everyone understands what you're talking about. Collaboration is another big one because you learn your group members' strengths and weaknesses and play to their strengths. I didn't do much with leadership but there were times where I took charge when it was needed. Project management was a tough one because even though it seemed like we had a lot of time for our projects we really didn't and that is something that can make or break your career.      My biggest strengths are editing, doing sound on set, and a little bit of gaffing.  My biggest weakness is I know the bare minimum about the camera and I'm not really that good when it comes to
