semester 1 review for e-comm

For e-comm video strained we are done with the class for the semester. Were doing a reflection on our first semester and how it all turned out and for me my semester went by really really fast, we did a lot of stuff in a short amount of time.

My favorite project I did was the Caleb Brandes acting story, it was by far my best video I made of the year and it was my favorite one to film too.

The whole thing lasted for about 2 to 3 weeks i would film him during school hours (when we were supposed to be in class), I also got his girlfriend at the time to film an interview with her about caleb

Some of the challenges we faced were of course leaving class to film, we didn't exactly get permission to leave class and we would often get sent back to class, and since I borrowed him so much all of the teachers got to know me and wouldn't let me film with him.

Along the way I learned about ambition and what filmmakers go through to film something, I learned more about film and editing along the way too

My overall opinion about my projects is that I tried my best at what I was given, I'm not really into convergence which is news and interviews and stuff, but I think I did the best with what I had at the time


My class time in class was used relatively good, I use it to work on projects and get my head focused on what is to come for later, I usually listen to music while I'm in class too

What I loved most about this semester was the filming part, I love to film and edit videos, and this class gave me the opportunity to fill my need for it.

What I would change is I would have more time to work on projects and videos and have more control over what we can film

I really want to  direct or write the short film for sophomores next semester. my final thoughts are that I really love e-comm and the teachers are amazing, I would never leave

FEATURE STORY #3

When i was making the feature story #3, i set out to make a fun video that would be fun to watch and to laugh at, so i used my friend caleb branded who is one of my friends, he wanted to make a fun video too. When making it i realized it more of a comedy video than a serious video, so i used that to my advantage, when editing it and narrating it i used funny terms and edits, i didnt want to take myself or the video too seriously so i made it a joke, but a good joke, i put effort into it to make it into a joke interview. I interviewed caleb broadens because he is my good friend and he shares my enthusiastic approach to film, we share the same ideas and he wanted to make the same kind of video i wanted to make, we decided to make it about hi acting career since he has been acting for about 2 years i wanted to know what made him join acting. but i needed more than one person to interview so i asked caleb girlfriend paige slater who also does theater and acting. my experience filming was fun and probably one of the funnest i filmed, since me and caleb are good friends we joked around an goofed off but we also took it seriously and filmed. editing was fun, i did it in abut a day when i was on my bed talking caleb on the phone. My class never got to watch the video so i haven't received any feedback yet.

what makes a good feature video? is it the story of the video, or the characters that are being interviewed? or is it a more personal idea that makes a story great. first we need to see what a great story looks like, and to me its one that grabs the audience in and makes them want to watch the story till the end, no matter the subject or the pacing, if you want to watch to the end its a great story. second the people who are being interviewed. there just people right? there something about them that makes us wonder why they are being interviewed, is it there perusal interests or is it more? sometimes a persons story is enough to capture other peoples interest, because on the inside we all want to be that person on some form or another.

in comm this week we made a future story, it had to be 60-90 seconds and a beginning middle and end, i chose to do it on my friend caleb, who acts in school plays and ren festival.

filming lasted multiple days and i interviewed caleb and his girlfriend paige all of those days, it was set in school and shot in school

if you want to see the video click this link and it will direct you towards the video.

well i don't have the link yet but as soon as i do ill put it on here

all in all the video was good and I'm ready for my next feature tory

In animation class, I had to write, create and post a 30 second animation, with a coherent beginning middle, and end. it had to have a conflict and 3 scene changes. it took me 3 weeks to animate and write a story, in the time i made a character called the rice crispy man, I took inspiration from a rice crispy I

 ate earlier.

when i wrote the story imagined, the trashcan is the symbol of the good in society. He wants to throw the trash away, but the opposing forces would not let him.

POLY THING

in animation this week we made a Polything, yes thats what it's called I'm not joking, you make it by making a sphere, then you make 3 cylinders each on the sides, then you hit mesh then boolean then difference, it erases the object then makes a cool figure.

isn't it rad! 

So in animation we had to make a short animation, and i gotta say mine is pretty oscar worthy, its about a man, wait no a rice crispy man! he's walking and finds trash so he has to over come his struggle to pick it up, here watch for yourself.

oh buddy this is good

CASTLE

in animation were using this neat little thing called maya, it stands for, well i don't know, but its a 3d animation that pier uses i think, we made a castle, i can't show you because my screen shot didn't work but trust me it was pretty cool, imagine a wicked castle with dragons and canons and stuff, thats what it looked like

                                                  ABOUT THE STOODLE STORY

When I made the stoodle story I intended to make it more about the look rather than the idea, it was about my friend who makes videos in his free time. I wanted to make a video that told a good story while also looked aesthetically pleasing at the same time, I used different angles interesting cuts that was used to enhance the video.  Its called the stoodle story because the videos my friend makes, he post them on youtube under the channel stoodle, which he founded and is a part owner of. our videos are funny, stupid and childish, we make them to entertain but we mostly man the for ourselves so that in the future we can look back and watch our videos. I brought in spencer Neil, one of the original 10 members in stoodle, I asked him questions regarding our humor and our videos types and why we make them, I also asked him what his favorite part of stoodle is, all in all the video was fun to make and if you're interested at all in the slightest about video making or you juts want to watch video then this is the video for you.

When making a video there are 3 stages, planning, filming, and post production, in todays blog I am going to talk about the post production and editing.

Now editing may not sound fun to a lot you, and thats ok, but to some people editing is the most important part of filming, now I don't believe that, but it is really important. Now you might be asking, Keenan, in editing how do you drag clips and sort them? well sir or ma'am I'm here to answer you're prayers. or questions

make sure you are in premier pro

 yay

lets see if your clips are in your editing
  got em

now you want to grab them and put them in you're timeline there we go

after that you juts cut and put them in order, its really easy and not complicated at all, well as long as you don't add titles and slow motion and stuff like that

so this may have helped you or not, but if it did then yay. I tried my best, till next time, have a great day

ONW 1 IN 2000

                                                                     MY INTERVIEW WITH JACKSON


Hello, my name is keenan, today I'm blogging about my friend jackson, he is a sophomore at ONW, he is e-comm with me, a few days ago hey asked us to film a interview with someone and i chose jackson. my interview was about his trip to camp nathaniel, i asked him questions about what food he ate, what his favorite thing was there and his best memory. if you want to see the while video there will be  link in the blog at the end.

In the video i had to do a voice over, and i and to write it, writing it wad fun and boring at the same time, i and to sit in a room, and think of something clever to say, i tried like 13 times before i got it right, and when i did it was awesome. The voice over was just me introducing the interview, who i was interviewing, and what company i work for.

when i was shooting the video i got to know more about jackson, his likes dislikes and his interests, and i got to know more about his summer and juts got to know more about him as a person. i feel like i got closer to him as a person and will work with him in the future.

what i like about the video is the editing, because thats what I'm most comfortable with, i tried to edit it with a sense of him and not me, i focused on the way he spoke and not the way i did, so almost every time i talked i would edit tit out, and everytime he spoke i didn't edit it.


INTERVIEW WITH JACKSON

OWN procedures blog

  Hello i havent seen you guys in a while, well i am a sophomore now i Ecomm! which means more projects!!!! so this is my first of a hopefully huge amount of posts regarding projects. the project was to show god behavior in anyway possible, so we did a bully thing of course, what else would you do, don't give e that you'd so the same thing, at least i didn't do to check out a book *everyone in my class*

The project tested your creativity and lack of time made you stretch it to fit a story, it was fun and hard to make, the editing was really fun to make and easy to get used to.

first i will send some screen shots of my video just to let you see how amazing it is()

 

heres the beginning. pretty amazing amiright? nah but really this shot expresses the normal day life of my boy

    

this is the tittle of the video, kindness, now what does that mean? kindness? well i thought this meant that you will help a person in need of help











now this is the climax,when the hero meets the foe, or foil if you take english, anyways this is the problem of the story it drives the plot to the ending, speaking of which....this is the end, when the hero his down on his luck, and the supporting chapter brings him out of the dumps, this sums up the story perfectly, but theres one question? where the foil? doesn't  matter

we were p.i.m.p inland our product was beef-n-go, a tube of beef that you eat.

we did work well together in every situation that was handed to us

in making sure we were focused and in task

i will make sure that everyone is on task and know what to do

being on task

i worked well with communication and working with people

i made the video, the ad, the animation and put input on the website
