First annual HC parade


Homecoming Parade

I decided to make a package over the parade because we have never had a Homecoming parade at ONW. We made the video so that people could have an over view of the whole event.

We decided it would be the best if we had 2 or 3 cameras and we would record all of the clubs and sports teams with different angles and locations. we interviewed random students and teachers from PRT middle school, Meadow lane elementary, and ONW. Our story board wasn't set and stone we filmed and put all of the clips together in a video summarizing the whole event. we favorited our favorite clips and arranged them by floats and clubs we added some interviews and clips of the crowd to show the atmosphere during the parade. 

I learned that even if you have like 3 hours of clips and you need it under 2 minutes long you have to make sure everything gets in there that needs to be apart of the video to correctly summarize the event. Collaboration was a big part of his project we had 3 different cameras going around the parade we had to move withe the parade but still get every float and have different angles for each of the cameras we had 3 people working on the video for the first 30 seconds of the video and it ended up being just me that had to have the deadline accomplished I met the deadline after hours of work.

I would have one person work on the whole video editing part because with too many ideas it gets too messy and takes to long to actually put the video together because only one person can actually use the computer the rest of the people are just there sharing there ideas and it gets too over whelming.

I would have the 3 or even more cameras out there because that really had a positive impact on the video some people got some really good angles of things others missed. I think it like we covered the whole parade because we were all set in different places and it made it very hard to miss anything. 

Have several different camera angles and make sure you actually have more than enough for your video just incase the shots didn't match up, or the lighting was off, Etc...

I thought this project was a big success over all the video turned out great and we managed to get every club and sport on the parade we also got clips from all the schools which really put the video together.

The idea from this video came from Mr. Allam our video teacher. 

I think the best thing about our video package was the interviews we got alot of good answers from the students and we had very good lighting for 2/3 interviews. We had alot of great b-roll it really does make the package easier because we had more video to pick from and we could make it just how we wanted.
I would do better lower thirds so it explains the package more i also would want to get better lighting in every shot to make it the best it can be.

 Reflection 
9/4
  • What went well with my project was the editing sean and i edited together and after only a little bit of shots we pulled it on to a video and it ended up very well i also think the b roll was great for our project it helped us build a sequence of events!
  • I learned new and better ways to interview how to position the camera and to do so that it looks really good to the viewers. I also learned what is expected of this year how we are going to do videos this year and i think it will make ONW NOW better over all. 
  • I would do better interviews next time get a lot more variety of b roll so i either don't repeat myself in the video or have more options. I will find better stories and things people want to know about.

One personal goal:

I hope to gain the ability to work with more people through technology and get better at editing and better at making video stories. i also would like to get better on my camera work shots and angles and the way i put them together in a good project. i hope to accomplish this by being very interactive in all things i do this year.
Goal for the Convergence class:

During this school year in e-communictaion i hope to get closer to the people around me by making and helping each other projects. I hope to make ONW Now better for everyone during this school year with help from my peers. I will do all of this by contribution the set and getting closer to the people around me to help with projects and exc.

Goal for myself in Convergence:

I want to make my videos and projects better i want to get involved i other strands of ecomm and help make all strands as good as they can be with each others help. i hope to get better at an editer and as an anchor which i mainly want to be focused on this year i can do these things by practicing making outside projects and practicing my lines outside of class to better how i contribute to the ONW Now class of 2014-2015

The kerning game

The kerning game is a game which it gives you a font and you have to move the letters to fit in the spots f the original text it was actually kind of fun i liked testing to see how i knew my text and fonts. I was challenging but i managed to pull through and get 100% sometimes. The game gives you 100% when you get little to n mistakes. so you can earn from it this is what it looks like.
