Color Wheel

I learned about the different colors and what they represent. Red shows power, excitement, or love. Green means peaceful, serene, and simplistic. One of the shampoos I sketched was purple, which is creative and fun. The different colors influence different viewers and are intended for separate audiences. The designers of these logos and bottle designs must be thinking of what will be most appealing to the target audience.

What is Graphic Design?

Graphic Design is a way to communicate something to people in a creative way. Displays human behavior and includes words and images. Graphic design is used everywhere all the time. The picture made needs to communicate the idea of the product or service accurately. Think of all possibilities in all ways to express an idea to the viewer and don't think of just 1 idea and go for it. Explore numerous ways to create an emotion within the viewer when exposed to your product. 

The Interview

During this course I learned many useful things including how to edit correctly, use shortcut keys including the spacebar that pauses and plays the video, shift z that allows you to see your whole video in the viewer,  J, K, and L which rewind, pause, and fast forward, and control I that sends your video out as a master file, which you can then use to upload to Youtube and Blogger. I learned that working with a camera takes time and people don't always agree on the same thing, which forces you to alter ideas and thoughts. I might stay in video development but I will have to see if I enjoy animation, graphic design and web design. I am happy that I found out about Final Cut Pro. It is a great tool to use when editing and I hope to get it for my personal use, but it is $300! Overall, I enjoyed my experience in video and might continue in the video strand, and I learned about Final Cut Pro and many shortcut keys and hope to use these skills later as I progress in my life.

The Chase

In this project I learned how getting many different shots of the same action really adds to the overall interest of the viewer, and learned that time management is a necessity, especially when working with other people. I will try to work faster without reducing the quality of my work, and hope to use communication to improve my video drastically. Collaboration was a little different due to the increase in individuals involved. With 3 people came more ideas, and a little conflict! I believe in the next project my group should try to compromise and listen to each others' ideas to see if we can incorporate what is best for the video. I hope to keep making more videos, because the whole editing and filming process is awesome! You get to talk with other people and work together to achieve a common goal, which is a lot of fun to do.

AB Sequence

Over the duration of this assignment, I learned the importance of stressing the flow of your video, from scene to scene. I also learned how to slow down or speed up the video to make for a more dramatic effect. I learned the shortcut of shift z and it was very helpful to my project. You need to make sure all of the scenes look together and move smoothly from one shot to the next. I will ensure that my future projects move in a fluid motion, trying to make minimal or no jump cuts. Collaboration was extremely important to this project, because of the length, time, and roles needed to complete this assignment. With 2 people, you can have one person shoot the video, another person act. I will use collaboration later to be more effective I'm my video making, and hope to continue making awesome creations!

Sequence

1. Extra Close Up Shot-A filming distance where the object takes up the whole frame.
2. Close Up Shot-A shot where you can see only a person's head and shoulders.
3. Medium Shot-A person's waist up is shown, along with whatever they are holding.
4. Over The Shoulder-Film as if you are looking over the person as they are doing an action, with what they are doing in view.
5. Wide Shot-A shot that includes all of the person, but doesn't show the whole scene.
6. Extra Wide Shot-A shot where the whole scene is included.

I enjoyed learning more about Final Cut Pro and working with the new cameras. I found new ways to cut and put together video clips. I used new transitions, and had fun using the free music from ISM Films. I have learned how to publish, export, and sequence shots with the editing software. I enjoyed the simplicity but effective 6-shot sequence.
I will use the 6-shot sequence later and the cutting of different video clips.

My Personality Type

My Personality Type

My personality type was calculated to be an ISTJ, which is a quiet, serious, but dependable person. It says that I am responsible and work hard while staying organized. I was 1% away from being an INTJ, that is described as the scientist personality. INTJs are very independent individual who is extremely analytical, constantly studying the world around them. I have the same personality types as Isaac Newton, Steven Hawking, George Washington and Dwight D. Eisenhower.

I feel that both personality types fit me well, but INTJ describes me better than ISTJ. I'm not very traditional, and don't like to do things by the book as much. I enjoy experimenting and researching new ideas about the world. My personality type fits how I interact with others. I am quiet and study people, not speaking as much  as others would. I do not enjoy being in a large group of people, just a few friends here and there. I work hard and try to be perfect, and sometimes I would describe myself as a perfectionist.

When on a team, I tend to be the one who comes up with good ideas and finds answers easily. I have to initiate all chores around the house and make sure my siblings help me get them done. I take the lead when needed, and get the job done as quickly and efficiently as I can. People will perceive me as quiet and boring, but I am just unsure of strangers and tend to watch how they act to assume their personality
