Procedure video review

Procedure Video Review 

The scope of our first project was to make a procedure video explaining one of the conducts in the Olathe Northwest student agenda. The process of making this video was first planning with a partner. We had to search for a procedure to perform and use storyboards to give our self's an image of which shots will be taken. After the planning we went to the field to shoot the right shots and get the correct angles. Once that was completed we took it back to Mr.Cooper's room and started editing in Adobe Premiere Pro. Once the clips were trimmed, music was entered in, and special effects were displayed my video was complete. During the process I luckily learned how to use our new HD cameras and also learned how to find my way around Premiere Pro. Not only did I learn the technology but I learned how to collaborate better with my partner and learned to listen to their ideas as well. What I would do different the next time would be to get ALL of the shots instead of just medium shots because my video was mostly medium which made it sort of plain. What I would do the same would be giving my video a little bit of humor like slow motion or silly music. The experiences that I gained during the project will definitely help with future projects throughout the year because instead of having to learn all new material which I did this time around hopefully the process will be quicker. In conclusion I am happy with my work but am also ready to learn more about the process of video making.

My team name was LIT and our product was a Shwamock. We collaborated as a group well and discussed deadlines. We struggled most with timing of some projects and creativeness. The next group project we do I think we should be more efficient. I would not change anything besides deadlines and the underestimating of our groups capabilities. I have improved in video design because I learned new tools. I worked on the video, logo, and presentation.

For the Invasive Species website we had to use so many tools I had no idea that all of those even existed. I think the hardest part was making sure all the coding was right.

This house I made over the past couple of weeks has been quite a challenge. Even though I had some trouble with the house I still ended up with a pretty decent outcome. 

Below is a 3D animation of the whole house:

So far in e9 I have had the privilege to go through three strands: video, graphic design, and animation. All three of these strands have been a good learning experience. I'm leaning towards video and graphic design for the next year and junior year I hope to focus mainly on journalism.  I'm  am really enjoying e-communication and I am defiantly planning on staying in the program.
