Film Reel 2020


This video is the most recent film reel that I made where I feel like it really represents who I am as a creator. The way it represented myself in the reel was by putting in all of the videos that I have been an editor for as well as a few others. I do think that this reel showed some of my best shots even though some are better than others in the reel. One of the things that I did that really stood out was use a scene from the featured film trailer we had last year. I mostly branded myself as an editor because most of the videos in the reel I was an editor for them, but on a few, I was also the gaffer. What I would do differently is make the audio mixing better because some shots already had music in them and I couldn't find the right balance. Other than the audio mixing I would pretty much do everything the same because I feel that everything else was really good. The experience I gained from this is that you can include anything you have worked on even if it didn't get finished as long as it looks good you can and should include it. One of my general thoughts I think that this is my best film reel so far because I spent more time on it than any of my others and I also really like all of the shots that I chose.

Professional Project Review

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

Image
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
