Film Reel 2020

With my new updated film reel, I wanted to give a sense of fun and make it more comedic. I used Gangster's Paradise for the audio to show that, so I used some funny clips of people walking like gangsters and some other fun clips. I feel that by using these specific clips and audio, it showed my directing and editing skills, for example like showing some of the performances I got out of my actors and how I got some shots in sync with the music. These shots are some of the ones I'm the most proud of like for example the shot of Noah silhouetted against the window, and the one of Joey and Connor at the checkout lane. My editing process was fairly easy, I just looked for clips I liked and dropped them in there and played around to see where each worked best. I changed some things from the last reel, like the music and some of the shots used were rather different mostly because I got new shots. I did reuse some shots and I kept the same font from the previous reel because I liked the feel of them. I need to get more shots to make it feel more complete, a lot of the shots I have right now aren't necessarily my favorites.

What we did This past week we created another web page but this one was for a poem called "Another Reason I don't keep a gun in the House". We began by adding in the starting files and we then created new rules on the different parts such as the headings. Those got changed to different colors, sizes, etc. Once done we added some links and text of our own. The project was fairly easy and simple to be honest. At the beginning the site was just a white page with a dog picture and some text but by the end it had a black background with different text colors and a great variety. CARP Contrast is the first letter of CARP and boy was there variety in this project. The texts were different colors and the colors had great contrast with each of their respective background. A great example is the darker tan text on a light tan background. Another was the text sizes with each other. Alignment is the next letter, this relates to how the text was aligned. The heading/titles ...

The Grand Finale: Recap of my final year in ecomm

The Five Guarantees Over the past four years in ecomm, one thing has been the same, there have been 5 guarantees that we stand by: Technical skills, communication, collaboration, leadership, and project management. Something I took away from Technical skills was that it helped me learn how to handle equipment and adapt more quickly to things I haven't used before. I think that's pretty important in life because evolving and adapting is something we do all throughout our lives. I learned it through experience on set and teachers showing me how to use the equipment. It could be difficult at points, especially when it wouldn't work, but I would power through. I'm still not great at operating the camera, but I am proficient at using adobe software. Next up, communication. Communication made me take away that to get something done, everyone needs to be on the same page. If you aren't on the same page, then the project typically is a jumbled mess. I faced many challenges ...

Film Reel 2021

The process So over the past few weeks we have been working on creating new film reels for ourselves. As we started, I had an idea to use"Don't Stop Me Now" for my music in the reel. Clearly that didn't work out, as I found out, I didn't have enough high energy clips to match the pace of the song. After that I was stuck on trying to find a new song, but I was also working on the feature script so I had to make a decision fast. I ended up using "Gangsta's Paradise" from my last film reel. Needless to say, it fit my style perfectly once again. On top of my clips from the last film reel, I now added more scenes from "Lazy Sunday" and my "Wii" commercial. Overall reflection      Overall, I thought that my reel showcased my style really well. I tried to go for a more comedic style of reel as that's what I prefer to make genre-wise. Some solid examples of this is many of the clips from "Lazy Sunday" and my "Tears of T...
