Reflection Blog-video

    This year in video taught me so much! I learned both entertainment filming and convergence filming. Technology wise I learned how to use the program Premiere Pro. It was important because I used it all year and I will use it in the next to years of e-comm. I only faced a couple of technology problems but I eventually got help and corrected mistakes. Collaboration really came in handy this year because we had to many group projects. It was important to learn becasue we did it so often. The only time I ever faced problems was when we needed to film things and none of us could all meet at the same time. Communication was key this year to working in groups. It was important to use this skill because we had to communicate and learn how to work with everyones schedule. I didn't not face a lot go problems with communicating because everyone would contribute and try to make things work for them as well. I learned Project management is very important because filming and editing these projects is a lot of work and if we do not have it done in time you don't get a good grade. I faced a couple of challeneges with this because sometimes filming would take longer than we expected. Leadership I learned is important when you are filming entertainment because you need to get a certain amount of clips done in a certain amount of time so we need a t least on leader that will help show us the way and control the situation. I did not face any challenges with this because either I or one of my group members would always keep everyone in check.
   My greatest strength was editing! I really edited quick, fast cut shots which made my projects more interesting. My biggest weakness was getting enough shot for b-roll in convergence. My biggest weakness in entertainment was actually being creative.
     I am going to take what I have learned and carry it over to convergence this next school year. I wouldn't change anything for sophomore video class because it gave you the best of both worlds.
Overall I am extremely excited to move into ONW NOW next year and take what I have learned this year and transfer it over! Thank you Mr.Cooper!!!!

Reflection-Animation

    This year in animation has taught me so much! I've learned things like special effects, green screen, 3D modeling, and so much more! Technology wise I have learned how use two different programs called After Affects and Maya. I learned how to use it through tutorials and youtube videos. It was important to learn how to use it because we used it all year! I faced a lot of challenges learning how to use these programs because there are a lot of tools win each program and it can get confusing if you accidentally press the wrong button. Collaborating this year with the people next to me defiantly helped me get through my projects. It was important to have the people around me help me because I most likely would not finish any projects if they did't help me. I never faced challenges with collaborating because the whole class was great the whole year! Communication was defiantly important to learn this year because I had to learn to talk to people I didn't know very well. I learned it by listening respectfully and giving feedback to my group mates. I never faced any challenges because I am a talkative person anyways so it was easy to learn this skill. Project Management was something I learned you cannot take lightly. It was important to learn because if I didn't turn something in on time I wouldn't pass. I only faced challenges with this when I was out of town on the Friday projects were due but that next Monday I got it turned in. Leadership I learned is important when you are in a big group. It was important because if you do not have one person that gives tasks to people in the rest of your group than your group lacks to turn projects in on time. I didn't face any challenges along the way because everyone is good listeners!
    My greatest strengths is leading and giving tasks to people when they are confused or done with their part of their project. My biggest weakness was using some of the programs but it got better as the year progressed. I still need to work on things in After Affects if I use it in the future because it could help me in the future. I am going to take what I have learned in animation this year and transfer my knowledge into convergence next year. The only thing I would change for this class would be my first big project in quarter one because my complete project was just garbage honestly.
    Overall this year was a great learning experience for animation and I cannot wait to see how I will use these skills in the future!

Technical Tutorial-Video

The skill that I am going to demonstrate is color correction. The purpose of this is to be able to access the correction skills so when your movie clip is either oddly bright or a weird shade of blue you can fix it in premier pro. My intended audience is mainly for anyone who is using premier pro because it is good to have the skill so you do not have to research it every time.

1. The first thing you will want to do is import your clip you want to correct. 

2. Find the bar at the top of the page and select color 

3. A pop up menu on the side should appear and it will have two color wheels on the side. You should be able to correct any coloring issues with the tools on that tool bar

4. Then you can correct how you would like it to look!!!!
