High School Trailer Reflection

            

What Was The Assignment?

     The assignment before Spring Break was to pick a High School trailer and recreate that trailer shot for shot as good as physically possible. If the trailer happened to have a shot that was impossible to shoot such as a skyscraper shot or something high up in the sky, it was ok to not have that shot in the video. Fortunately we didn't come across that problem when shooting our trailer.

What Was The Process Of Creating The Trailer?

     After choosing the movie we wanted, which was 17 Again, we went into our pre-production work. We had to make the scripts, the storyboards, cast list, copyright information, and concept board. After creating all of those we went into the production side of the process. We had about one day of solid footage and another of good editing because our time management was not good.

What Was Learned Along The Way?

     We incorporated our usual style of shooting into the video as with editing, so that was mostly the same as our past videos. I'd say that what I really learned along the way was how to better manage our time. Because we were so pressed on time our quality of the video was lackluster and not as good as we had hoped.

What Could Be Changed And What Could Stay The Same

     If we could go back and change the video it would definitely be the process of which the video was shot. Because our time management was poor we had less time to shoot, in turn making the quality of the video go down. I would keep the team the same for sure though. We have made two videos together and the team work has been great both times. The management within the group suffered because no clear leadership was expressed.

Conclusion

     My overall thoughts of this project would be better had the quality of the video shown our true abilities and feelings toward making good videos. I believe our next group project will be much better as our creative abilities will be able to shine when making our own short film.

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...
