Technical Improvement

I worked very hard on preparing Media Day for the class, getting the times and place set up, as well as preparing the coaches and players for the interviews. Media Day has been my primary area of focus for this week.

Falcon's Westside Works Project 9/15

The reporter is for NBC news, and it is clear that they are very experienced in creating quality feature stories. She starts off the story by telling the viewer what they are watching the video about and then showing video of the area and the new stadium. She gets multiple interviews with people who have been affected by the project, as well as the Falcon's owner. The video describes the effects of the new stadium and the new jobs created by it. There are very few issues with this video. It is produced very well and the footage is of high quality as well. One potential downside is that the reporter only interviews people who have been positively effected by the stadium. There may not be any people who have been negatively effected so that could be a reason for only interviewing the positive people. This story is a good example of a well produced feature story and there is much to take away from it. The shots, interviews and voiceovers are well executed and I can implement those

Golden Nights Sexist Tweets: 9/8

In the article, the reporter clearly states the facts, and is short to the point. He quoted both sides, and represented the claims of Golden Knights and  Athlete Ally. He included the pictures of the tweets, giving support for his claim. The reporter shows little bias towards either side. However, where the reporter creates a short and to the point post, he also provides little information that furthers the conversation. Reporters are taught to elaborate further on the subject and he does not create more discussion past his black and white facts. I have written very few stories on reports this year, but if I were to create more written stories then I will implement skills shown in this post. I will provide the straight facts, with no bias, but still formulate more conversation past the facts. 

Semester 2 Web Design Reflection

Technology This aspect of e-Comm is huge. We are constantly using technology throughout our entire lives, and when working on projects for e-Comm we are always utilizing this technology. It wasn't something we had to "learn", because it comes natural to my generation, as we have grown up with it. Technology is so vital to everything in the world today. We use it to communicate, use it for commerce, use it for negotiation, to spread ideas. There is no part of our lives where we are not surrounded by this tool we use in our everyday lives. Collaboration As with technology, we must utilize this skill in order to both succeed academically and professionally. This is a skill most people grow up with, but for some they must be forced to collaborate in order to master it. It is important the same way that technology is important to our lives. Without it, the very world we live in would fall apart. Collaborating with each other allows us to spread our ideas, shape them,

Semester 2 Video Reflection

Projects  I completed three big projects throughout the course of second semester in Video Production. They included: Music Video, High School Trailer, and Short Film. Each project had different specifications and due dates/ deadlines. Music Video This is the first project we completed in second semester for Video Production. It took roughly three to four weeks from beginning to end. We remade the Runaway music video by Kanye. Our main challenge for completing this video was the amount of people we needed to complete it. The original video used around twenty ballet dancers, but because we can neither have that many people taken out of class nor can we take the amount of time to find that many dancers, we went with a smaller number of eight. We then had to get an adequate setting for our music video shoot, so we went with a combined music room/courtyard setting. We learned that creating a full three minute production took a lot more work than we anticipated, so we had to get ma

New Index Page

This is my brand new and improved Index Web Page! It was very easy and uncomplicated compared to some other projects I've completed this year. It was made using the pre-made Grid templates within Dreamweaver. Once I had selected the template, I just had to add in my content and colors and it was finished! Using the template was very helpful because it came already equipped with all of the coding and css, as well as responsiveness on multiple devices. One of the downsides was the inability to customize and design the layout of the page, but with the page being so easy to put together with the templates, the pros of it simply outweighed the cons. I can imagine that professional web designers would use more and more templates such as this one because it is so easy to fill in. All of the coding has been worked out and there are zero to no bugs with the code. All in all, this was another very successful project completed on schedule!

Past Present and Future

This project was like most web design projects so far. Create a website and upload content. Except for this website, we created the main design within photoshop, allowing us to use the text within the photoshop as buttons in the actual website. This is the "Present" page within my website, equipped with a scrollbar so that you can look at all the content within the page. Click on the picture so that you can view this website.
