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...

Pre-Production First we had to pick quotes that represented ourselves. I picked one that represented volleyball and another that represented marvel because I have always been obsessed with superheroes and those movies. Then I picked a app one because I feel like and I have always been told I am a very happy person I smile most of the time and laugh at almost everything. Then I picked one that represented music because music has always been a big part of my life. Then I picked fonts that fit more of the tone of the word like what it means. I also tried to stick with a theme for all of them. Like for the marvel one I picked the marvel specific fonts.  Production I learned how to change the texture of the pen tool when I was making the music quote one and the volleyball inspired one for the border. I just kind of played with the words and where I placed them till I liked it. I liked working with black and white better because colors were very hard to choose because it was hard ...

Reflection This semester I have learned a lot. Like using Photoshop and Illustrator. I like Photoshop personally because it is a lot easier to learn and I like photography and editing my photos better than making graphics on Illustrator. My two favorite Photoshop projects have been one of the first ones we did, which is the "Nature Man" one. I also really liked the Panorama one. Nature Man For this project we were given a picture of this man and a bunch of nature pictures. We had to put them together by using clipping masks to create a "Nature man". I do not remember how long this took because we did this project at the beginning of the year. I had trouble just getting started and trying to decide what I wanted my vision for him to be. I honestly just played around with it until I made something I liked. I learned how to use photoshop a lot better like using those clipping masks to put more than 1 picture together to create just one picture. The feedback ...

The Process First I chose a project and I chose the Pop Art project. I cropped it and made two copies. One is color and one is black and white. I printed them out on the same sheet of paper. Then I cut both of my graphics out. Then I took a piece of water color paper and tore it in half. Then I used water color paint and brushes to paint my water color paper. I decided I wanted one warm colors and the other cold colors. I used blue and purple for my cool colors and I just was making different streaks horizontally with the two colors. I did the same with the other one just with yellow, orange, and yellow. Then I let them dry overnight. After that I took my prints that I printed out earlier and I covered both of my prints with mod podge on the front side. Then I placed it upside down on the water color paper trying to get it centered as close as I can. Then once I did that to both I used a squeegee and I just slid it on the paper to get out the access mod lodge without trying to g...

Overview Of The Project For our project in video we were assigned a partner, then we had to make a featured story about something about them. First we just got to know the person and we just talked for one class period. While talking to Blake (who was my partner) I took some notes about him to figure out what story I should do about him. Then I tried to come up with top 3 topics then I tried to come up with questions and the one I could come up with the best and most questions became my featured story. My featured story was finalized to be about Blake working at AMC. First I came up with a list of 21questions I could ask him. Then I decided to get some B-Roll at AMC the following weekend. During class while I was waiting for the weekend to come I made a lower third. After I got B-Roll I Interviewed Blake at ONW in the Auditorium. We chose that place because we couldn't find a quieter place that also had good lighting at AMC. After the Interview I edited my videos of the interv...

Relief Relief printing process is when someone draws a picture into a wooden block or lithium metal. Then they use a roller that has ink all over it, then covers it with ink. Then they will put a piece of paper flat on the wooden or metal block. Then they use a roller to flatten out and press the paper on the carved block then you peel the paper off the block and then your done. You can carve the block by useing a chemical then drawing a sketch on a piece of paper then tracing it into the block with pen or sketch it out on the block and use different types of carving tools.  Intaglio This print process starts with a plate of medal which goes through a cleaning process then it gets some ground applied which is a combo of asphalt and rosin then it is spread all over the surface of the medal plate. Then the metal plate is smoked under a fire. Then the sketch gets scratched on and removes the ground with acid. Then its ready to print by using ink. Lithography This pri...

I woke up this morning and you know that feeling right when you wake up, for a split second your mind is just blank and you just forget everything; problems, worries etc. Well I woke up then I realized I was somewhere else I was just in a hotel room but I still do not remember anything. I could smell some breakfast food and then I heard someone knock on the door and yell "room service!" I knew that was not for me because I did not order anything. So I went out into the balcony and the view was gorgeous the sun was rising behind these tall loquacious green mountains.It was a blazing deep orange with a hint yellow towards the blazing fire and pink up towards the fluffy clouds. I was towards the edge of town it looked like but then as I was walking out of the hotel I could see the water and across the flowing water I could see some palm trees in the distance and a beach. I decided it was time for an adventure and everywhere I went no one was there until I came across the myste...
