Story Sequence

During this project, I learned different techniques and angles while using the cameras more efficiently. I also learned how to transition from one activity to another more smoothly and allow easier access to our angles. From my last video, I was a little shaky and I know now to walk away from the camera. It was easier this time to work with the actions seeing as we could move objects to get better shots and transition the cuts. Next time, I'll look at locations closer to each other and try to have more head room as well as foot room. I'll also pay more attention to the frames while filming next time. Collaboration is the action of working with someone to produce or create something. This was worked into our project by having two people working together, one behind the camera and one doing an action in front of the camera and working together to create something unique and something that you'll enjoy doing.

Hobby Video

The 6 shots in the 6 shot system are:
-Wide Shot- Shows a little bit of sceanery behind the person
-Extra Wide Shot- Shows in full detail of the whole scene going on behind
-Close Up- Shows only your face, and cuts off any top and bottom space
-Extra Close Up- Shows the hands or feet in detail
-Medium Shot- Waist and up (How you regularly see people in a desk)
-Over the Shoulder- Gets a view from over the persons shoulder

I learned how to position and use the cameras correctly, as well as get good angles. For my next project, I'll apply the camera more carefully and try using a better space than what we had. Also, I would adjust the camera more carefully since I know better how to use it now. In addition, I'll go through the music more cautiously and try them in my video.

Highlight Video

I learned the following tools in my highlight video:
-Command- C (Copy)
-Command- V (Paste)
-Command- B (Cut your video)
-Shift- Z (Compact timeline)
-Command- I (Import)
-Command- T (New tab)
-Space bar- (Play)
-Rewind- (J)
-Fast Forward- (L)

I chose gymnastics because I started it when I was 3, and never got fully into it, making it more of a hobby now rather than competing. I took interest into it because I saw all these girls on the Olympics doing all these cool flips when I was little and knew I wanted to be like them. Unfortunately over time, I lost interest in it and stopped for a couple years before I went back. Luckily I still had the same skills and didn't have to relearn them, and I still knew a couple people so it was easier to fit back into my normal schedule. Just very recently last semester, I made the decision to stop gymnastics and start with theatre, seeing as it was taking up my whole schedule. Every now and then I'll go to open gyms and improve my skills, but for now I'm going to stick to just watching. 

My website

When we first starting going into Dreamweaver, I didn't expect all the new CSS rules and different style techniques you could use. As I got farther into the project, I knew that this was not what I was expected. I had never done web design before, so this was a new experience for me and I knew that I could definitely consider going into this strand of e-comm. The bonus questions along the way helped me understand better what the codes were for and the background information we needed to complete the project. If you missed a step, there was most likely a question on it and you can go back and look at all the steps and find out what you did wrong and it still wouldn't effect what you already had. My process went by fairly fast, I have always had a tendency to get things fast and ready to learn the next step eagerly. I learned that if you have a problem on one of your projects that's overlapped with another project, you go back to the other project and double check nothing went wrong in that one before inserting it into your other project. Professionally, I learned a lot of other people don't know the process of making these, even though they had instructions, they didn't understand, but that's okay because the whole point of this project was to get used to the process and find out whether you we're interested it or not. I would maybe change and try different color styles in the schedule, as well as figure out how to change the font and size of the text easily. On my next project, I would try different colors and size fonts. I like the black against the light blue, so I wouldn't change that. I also liked how we learned creating links from the text to go to your other project. Overall, I could definitely see myself learning more about this software and creating my own projects.

My Dream House

 In the beginning of creating my dream house, I pictured what I wanted when I grew up. A small little modern house located near the city, but not in it. I wanted something unique that people would look at and want that house. While making my house, I learned that what I wanted, I couldn't even come close to making. So instead, I focused on a new house, not my dream house, but still something someone would look at and think that is was so simple it was perfect, and I think I created that. The process of my animation was created by looking at some examples, experimenting with my skills, and what I could accomplish. I learned that for this software, you can do exact measurements and create what you would want rather than just insertion a plain rectangle. Professionally, I learned to try a couple of different ideas you like before you narrow it down to the one you like best and possibly create something that has a little bit of everything in it. Asking my friends or my teacher also helped me deciding colors, overhangs, and decoration. They could tell me what they did like and what they didn't like, as well as what I should change to make it better.

Next time,  I would add more decoration to the outside and more detail to the windows and doors, as well as making the overhangs more visable. I would definitely look at the possibility of adding more to the outside of the house and giving it more of a city feel. I would do the colors the same, the windows, and the plants because I think it gives it a cool effect as far as unique styles go. From this experience, I learned that on my next project, look at some examples and layouts before I start and create something that everyone would enjoy looking at. Looking at these pictures, I like the color and the boldness of the doors. I also like the overhangs on the windows. Another thought that comes to mind is the spacing between the windows, and I would probably make the width of the house smaller so there isn't so much blank space.

Keynote Animation

My project was created in Keynote and I based it off of being late on your first day of work in New York City. The character in my story goes through many troubles to get to her job, and in the end, ends up putting a smile on her face even though everything she's been through that day.

My Animation Project

My animation is about a girl, and she's going to work after getting up late due to her alarm going off. She faces many challenges in this video, yet in the end, she found out that even if you had a bad day, it can always end good. In this case, it did.

Some things I learned in keynote are how to fill objects and make the animation look more like an animation. I also learned how to delay the animation and efficient ways to move the objects.

2 things people said they liked about my animation was the people talked, and the all the taxi's showing the difficulty to travel in New York.

2 things they said I should change, was the bus scene and make it seem more clear that she is in fact on a bus, as well as making something more in the background during the beginning.
