Sidewalk Chalk Blog

For e9 our first project we got put in groups of four. We each had to choose our own symbols. Mine was a music note because music is a big part of my life but then later we decided to change it to an alto clef since I used to play the viola and I also sing alto. The other symbols were point shoes/ballet shoes, wings and a potato. All of our symbols changed a lot though. Especial one of the girls in my group. First it was a cat then a star then black lipstick then she finally chose a potato. So that made it hard to figure out an idea that all of our symbols can make one big picture.

After we finished our sketches we went outside and drew our big picture. Our big picture was a potato with wings wearing ballet shoes with an alto clef on it. First we drew our own symbol then if someone needed some help like for example the potato was the biggest thing in the picture so we asked some people if they had the same color and we helped her finish coloring in the potato.

I think we had some problems communicating because one of the girls wouldn't even consider our ideas she would always counteract with her ideas and she wouldn't let us use our own ideas and that kind of got me mad and my other group members mad too. But then we were just like who cares its not that big of a deal anyway. To improve this I would have tried to communicate better and try to let my ideas be expresses more.

House Project

The Project So for this project we used sketchup and we had to make a model of a house we found on houseplans.com. This let us learn sketchup more and how to use different techiques in sketchup. The Process First we had to find a house then we had to look at the measurements of the house. I first just made a big block then I shaped it to look like my house. Then once I just got the shape of my house I added a porch and stairs. Then I started adding windows, doors and stuff like that. Then finally I looked back at my house and just tried to compared them and I added extra details that I forgot to do. Then after that I made an animation of giving a tour of my house. I used this texture for my porch I used this texture for my house. What I Learned I learned how to use sketchup and different tools and techniques within sketchup. Like the push and pull tool to make a shape different heights. Then I learned how to use the orbital tool to move the camera an...

Short Film

What I Learned I worked on the "Victoria" I learned that sometimes you need to problem solve last minute and I learned how to do that because 2 actors quit on us. We got replacements fast and made an effective schedule that works for everyone. I also learned how to organize everything better to make everything easier. What I Would Do Differently I would have picked different actors who were reliable the first time so we did not have to spend a lot of time just worrying. I also would have changed the volume in some shots the car scene needed to be quieter and the coffee scene needed the audio of the dialogue to be louder. Also next time to make sure there is no jump cuts.

Music Video

About The Project For this project we had to choose a music video to recreate. My group decided to recreate "Young Dumb & Broke'" by Khalid. First we had to make a story board, film scape and beat sheet. Then we went out to film. Then we edited it. What I Learned During this project I learned how much work it actually takes to make a music video. My job was being the director. As the director I blocked scenes and I also learned how to be a better leader and taking the lead in decision making. I learned how to use color correction a lot better. I also learned how to use some shortcuts so I can edit faster. I also learned how to use white balance in post production. I also learned how to slow down and speed up clips. I also learned I feel like how to a better leader when directing and Reflection For this project what I would differently is pick a video that matches the weather we are having because the weather was a big problem. I would also try to get mo...
