Video Final

Overview 
This semester we focused on convergence media. It was really interesting to see how it all works and to create convergence pieces of our own. Here is some of my work from this semester.


Advanced Feature Story

 For this project, we had to make a feature news piece that was timely and relevant to ONW. My group chose to do our video about finals. We interviewed three students and asked them their opinions on finals. This project took about two weeks to complete. One of the challenges we faced was to adjust all the audio clips so they weren't too loud or too quiet. One of the most important things we learned is that the use of nat noise can make a huge difference in a feature news piece. Some of the feedback we got was the lack of transitions, so we went back and added video, and audio transitions to make the video seem smoother. Overall I was really impressed with the outcome of this project and thought me and my group did a really good job.



  



ONW Now News Story

 For this project, we had to create a news piece for a sophomore version of ONW Now. My group chose to do the underclassmen play. This news piece took my group about a week, we had to finish on time because the sophomore version of ONW Now needed to be completed before the end of the semester. The biggest challenge we faced was probably the deadline because we had very limited time. I learned a lot about news writing and styles of news writing such as the inverted pyramid. Because we were short on time we didn't get any feedback, but if I were to go back and fix something I would probably rearrange my interview clips to make the whole video make more sense. I thought the final product was ok but if I had more time I think I could make it a whole lot better.


 Time Management 

 I used my class time to make sure me and my group were on the same page and to finish the bulk of my work. If I finished a project and had time left over I would discuss with my group, and see what we could do to improve it. I would also come in before or during Raven 50 to finish any work I didn't have time to do in class.

Strengths and Areas Of Improvement 

 One of my strengths is time management, I was able to complete every project on time. I also think I am pretty good at editing but I still have a lot to learn. Something I want to improve is my writing and storyboarding because sometimes I would rush through it.


Summary 

 What I really liked about this semester was the creative freedom we had on all our projects. If I were to do one thing differently it would probably spend more time writing and planning. My goal for next semester is to come in during Raven 50 more often. Overall I thought this semester was very fun and a great learning experience, I can't wait for entertainment next semester.

Vans Commercial

 Production  Our commercial was for Vans, the concept that we wanted to get across was that vans are a great durable shoe that bring people together.  Our pre production went really smoothly and we got our script and storyboards all done. Production also went extremely well. It was a little interesting to film at a skate park, we had to make sure not to get in anyones way but overall it was really fun. Post production could have gone better though. Our video was turned in late and it didn't meet the 30 second requirement. That is definitely something to improve on. I think we did a pretty good job on all the five guarantees except communication and project management. I would like to see things turned in on time for my next project, and to have better communication between editor and cinematographer.  Role   For this commercial I took on the production role of cinematographer. This was one of my goals I set last year: I wanted get more familiar with the cam...

2020 Film Reel

My film reel is meant to portray teen life, adventure, and a little bit of conflict. I feel that this reel mainly showcases cinematography, and editing, and lighting. I used beat sink on some of the shots but not all so it didn't become predictable and boring. I also had some actions happen to the beat of the song. When ending my film reel I chose a really bright outside shot full of warm colors, I chose to do so because it ends the reel on a positive note. I also only choose shots that were really cinematic to include in my film reel. Thats probably why my reel was shorter than a minute, but I plan to add a lot more work after the completion of my music video. I used three works in this film reel: Perfect Putty,  Levis Commercial, and Wimp. For the most part transitions between these pieces worked pretty well, but there are a few jarring cuts because of drastic lighting changes. One thing I would like to change next time I update my reel is the music, its spliced together in som...

Senior Final

 Throughout my eComm career my favorite three projects have been my Levis commercial, Wimp, and Kingfisher. These video projects have taught me so many valuable skills and were a blast to work on. Levis Commercial  This is a project I completed towards the beginning of junior year. The goal was to create a captivating commercial in 30 second format. We chose to do Levis and picked downtown as our location to film. This was my first big project I worked on and it was so much fun getting to go downtown with my group. While on set the seniors taught me many valuable and key camera skills. We also were collaborating and communicating so well which made everything really fun and entertaining. During post production I was even taught how to color correct using DaVinci. Our end result turned out amazing and looked fantastic. Overall this project was so much fun and taught me so much.  Kingfisher  This is the Feature Film I worked on last year. The production role I took on ...
