ONW 1 in 2000

For my ONW: 1 in 2000 video I had the pleasure to interview Isaiah Pickens. I was able to talk to him about what he did over the summer and his experiences with his trip to Minnesota. He went with about 40 other people to help out the community but also get to have fun with other excursions. The trip also happened around the time where racial tension was high because of police brutality towards a black man.
When I initially wrote my voiceover, it was very short, but when I saw my other classmates writing whole paragraphs I decided to jump on the bandwagon and write more. When I was finished I ended up with about a 3-4 sentence masterpiece of a voiceover that fit the outline of his experience into about 15 seconds. 
When we were shooting we had some technical difficulties. Whether it was our SD card not working, the tripod missing, or even forgetting to press record on the camera, I'd say it was a very interesting experience. We had a really good time filming the video and because we already know each other we had no problem setting up the interview to get information about each others summers.
My favorite part of my finished video is probably the editing and effects I was able to put into it. Without my boy Randon I would have never been able to get the effects into it though so shoutout to him. I was able to get an animated title into a zooming in close up of Isaiah's face, for example. I also like the fade ins and outs I was able to put into my video. Overall I had a great time creating this video and nothing but positive vibes came from the creation of this video.

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, ...

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...
