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...

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...

Point A To Point B

The Process For this project the goal was to film someone traveling to location A to location B while adding obstacles in their way. So the way our group brain stormed was we first decided the mood of the video and we decided on scary. Then we went location scouting to decide where our locations should be and we decided we wanted to end up in the auditorium and we wanted to make it ironic and we started by the auditorium doors. Then we tried to work on a story and first we had some trouble but then we decided that the main characters friend disappears and the main character is trying to find her friend and she is getting these strange notes that give her clues to where she is. After we brainstormed we started filming and the first day didn't work out well because I think everyone was not on the same page but then the second day of filming we all got on the same page and we got to filming and we got everything done except for the last few scenes that we did the 3rd day bu...
