VIDEO PROJECT:    Teacher Development Day

PROJECT DESCRIPTION & REFLECTION:
I was planning to start my project with lego guys coming in and fighting.  Then one of my peers suggested the idea of having teachers in the film.  So I came up with a project that would be a teacher development day where teachers would come together and talk about what they were going to do for the next month.  Next, I did a storyboard about the project.  I looked into the rubric and found what I needed in the film.  Once I had all these ideas put together I started out with a stop motion.  The project then went smoothly into me shooting film.  One the film was ready I was able to import it into a movie.  From there I added sound.  Once I had everything in place, I exported into YouTube.  

 

From the documentaries we saw (Donald Duck, Roger Rabbit) I took into consideration some of the camera angles so as we were watching the teacher suggested trying to make animation titles.  I took this advice and came up with the title for my stop motion.  The title has different letters coming from all angles like an animation.  Another thing I took into consideration was the lighting.  Some of the lighting I saw was harsh light, hard light, foggy light and stormy light.  

 

What I learned from this project is different camera shots (full body, medium full, medium, close, close-up, extreme, over the shoulder, straight on and take away).  From these shots I incorporated it into my film knowing the different meanings of each.  Another thing I learned was the different lighting.  Using different lighting and seeing different lighting has taught me different ways that I can use it in filmmaking.  Lastly, the most important thing that I learned from this project would be the flexibility in the project.  If there was a technical different and I didn’t have the things to fix it at the time, I would have to move around it and do something else.  

 

What I loved most of this project would have to be the freedom of the topic programs and the freedom of stop motion and video.  The reason why I loved this is because it gave me a general topic that I may want to learn more and improve upon in the real world.  I can continue expanding my knowledge on the programs and ideas I choose.  The knowledge that I learned I can incorporate into a job in the real world and become successful.  Lastly, I enjoyed taking pictures and this is inspiring me to become a photographer or stop motion artist at a movie studio.

 

What I would have done different in the project would have been spending more time on it so when I got it done I would have received more critiques and had more time focusing on the quality and sound of the project.   Also, I would have loved to put in more video for thought levels or first person shots.  I would have loved adding different types of music.    

 

Political Cartoon

Picture
for my political cartoon I disied to make it look like an orca was trying to tell the person that it was in need of help.my reflection to the black fish movie is that in a way I disagree with it but in a way I agree with it. The reason why I disagreed is because in a way wouldn’t people like to shut down a company that makes a lot. In my terms I disagree with the film because as I said they just want to get rid of a company that makes a lot.

Teacher Creature Project Reflection: 

In digital art we were assigned a project were we had to take a picture of a teacher and make them into a creature. The steps to do this were to send an email to a couple of the teachers we thought would work. I sent an email to Brian and Caitlyn and collected a little info of what they like to do in their free time and what makes them laugh the most. After I did this I decided to do Caitlyn. And I figured to and an alpaca on a vine in the middle of a jungle then thinking a little I thought that if I was to put the teachers face on the alpaca it might offend them because I was going to put a fart could on the alpaca. Then I got a great idea that idea was to have a cheetah chasing the alpaca and the cheetah would be the teacher. Then another idea came up that is to have a monkey also chase. As I was adding detail I came across a problem and that was to make a halo clipping mask for my name I overcome this by asking the sub that day. My favorite part of this project was to make the teacher in to a cheetah. What I will take away from this is how to do a halo clipping mask and how to add texture to a face.
