Vector Portrait

Pre-Production

I chose a picture of myself because I just thought that would be cooler seeing myself as the subject. Also I do not have any pets so I could not do that and I know my parents would not want me to make of them. I picked a headshot my friend took of me in downtown Kansas City because that is my favorite picture of myself. Once I downloaded that picture I cropped it so it was just my head mainly and then I used posterization so I could see the different values better. Then on Illustrator I made two art boards one has the picture with 100% opacity and then that same picture on the other board but with 80% opacity.

Production

I learned during this project I learned how to use the curve tool better and how to make sure everything is layered right. I also learned how to use layers to my advantage to make the process faster so I didn't have to exactly trace over every value. I also problem solved by just doing one lens of the glasses then I made a copy of that lens then reflected it and just made it the other lens to save a lot of time. I also sectioned my layers with the different body parts and accessories I had on. I focused on just zooming on the photo a lot and just trying to get every value traced in filled in as much as I can so then the result of the product would be as realistic as possible.

Final Product

I am very pleased and proud of my self for being able to recreate this photo in such a short amount of time. The only thing I would change is picking a picture of me not wearing glasses because the reflection took a long time and was very hard to replicate.

Trailer

Pre-Production For this project we got assigned groups to recreate a movie trailer. My group chose Napoleon Dynamite because it was short, easy and, funny. After we decided on our movie we had to story board and fill out the beat sheet. The hardest part was casting because it was hard to find a time everyone is free or just people who wanted to be in it and fitted the character.  Production We filmed for about a week and a half and getting the school shots was easy and we got those done with fast during school. It was hard to schedule the out of school shots but we got it done.  Post Production New things I learned with premier was editing the speed of a video to have shots slowed down and I also used a filter to make it seem more cinematic. I also used audio effects to try and fix the sound from the wind. That would be one thing I would do differently is to do more research on how to get rid of the wind sound better and fixing the slow motion walking part. I would ...

My Personality Type

About My Personality Type My personality type is an ESTJ. This means that I am extraverted,Sensing,Thinking and Judging. Extravert means that I like being around people and i get more energy when I am around people. I do think this is true. Sensing means I make decisions based on logic and evidence not how I think this should happen. I think this is also true. Thinking means that I use logic for my thinking and I do not really think about feelings. Judging means that I would rather have a plan and know whats going on rather than just winging it. Some famous people that are the same type are Hilary Clinton and Michelle Obama. Some reporters and lots of actors and actresses like Emma Watson. How Well Does This Describe Me I think this describes me pretty well. I am definitely extraverted I hate being by myself I get energy from being around people. I also think the sensing is right too because i never really go with my gut I always pick the most logical or reasonable thing to d...

How To Print Out A Doc. At ONW

width="560"> Pre-Production Our creative process was to name all the steps first on how to create a document and print it out then we looked at all the shots and put them on our story board to see which type of shot would make sense for each scene.Then we each used the iPad to just take pictures of each shot. Then we decided that I would be the actor for the video and Jaidyn would be the director and film.  Filming Like I said before my role was just the actor and I learned that you have to act like the camera isn't there and not pay attention to other things around you. I also helped like place the iPad in the right places and i learned how to make your shots level and use the 3 thirds rule. Editing I also edited the video. I learned how to use premiere pro and how to put the videos together and make sure they make sense so the audience doesn't get confused or it does not look weird. I also learned how to add words onto the video and how to ad...
