Self Reflection


Describe

 For my self-portrait I chose to film a comedy skit. It was a parody of survival videos made by people like Bear Grylle's. What this shows about me is that I like to make people smile and laugh. I always try to incorporate comedy into whatever I do to lighten the mood. This video also shows that I don't just give up when things don't go my way, because it started to rain and I continued film anyways.


Explain

 I chose to film the video outside because it was meant to be a survival skit, but weather was not on our side and it decided to rain. In the end it was a good thing though because it added to the comedic affect. I also chose to film and zoom in an amateur way to try and make the video funnier. I didn't really have a choice for the lighting because it was overcast, and i don't have any studio lights, but it turned out fine anyways. 



 Reflect
One of the challenges I faced was that the audio got washed out because of the heavy rain in the background, unfortunately there was nothing I could really do about that because I cant control the weather. Other than that, and the fact that I got completely soaked everything went pretty smoothly. Overall I think my video was successful because I got people to laugh which really shows that I am a goofy and like to make people smile.

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...

Ball Bounces

Overview  We had to make three animations that included a ball bouncing. One with a vertical bounce, one with a arc ing bounce, and one where we create what ever we want as long as it incorporates a bounce. All three of these animate were made in photoshop. What I Learned I learned how to make video timeline animation in photoshop. We started off by making a background and a ball. Then we made multiple layers with our ball and the direction it goes. Next we turned the layers into frames and made it a gif. How It Went Overall it went very well and was very. There were some parts that were difficult, like when I accidentally deleted all my frames. Overall it was a fun project and a great learning experience

Film Reel Blog

 For my film reel I tried to portray a teen lifestyle. It shows several teenagers in moments when they are thriving and when they are at a low. I really like this because it makes the reel more relatable to my fellow classmates. I also wanted it to really flow naturally to make it easy to watch so I didn't have any headers for my film clips and just let the shots speak for themselves. I also tried to edit my shots in a way that the movement flowed through each to make it feel even more smooth and collected.   I also tried to really showcase cinematography and good lighting in this reel. I used some of my best colored and lit shots from lowlight and daylight to show the variety I am capable of. I chose my most cinematically composed shots that show purposeful spacing and positioning of the subjects. I had my friend Cade Wait compose my music so it would fit perfectly with my reel and add some extra suspense. I was very picky with the shots I used so unfortunately my reel was a ...
