final commercial

My group's final project was a bandwagon type project, trying to make you feel as if everyone has my product, and that you will want to buy it too. Our product name is DubFresh and it is a version of Tooth Tunes, except it's for teens. You are able to load your own music into the toothbrush and you can jam out while you brush your teeth. The concept of this commercial was that a teenager (me) was in his room and hadn't brushed his teeth yet. When he is asked why he hasn't, it's because it's too boring. He is tossed the toothbrush and runs enthusiastically to the bathroom. Once he starts brushing his teeth, his music begins and he rocks out to a great brushing session. After he finishes, he is very pleased and proceeds to the hallway to convince everyone to buy this product after he used it.

interview

 

During this quarter in the video strand of e-comm, I was introduced to new people that i didn’t know before in this class, and I got to work with some of my friends to make videos that we really enjoyed making. I have learned what the 6 shot system is, and how to use it properly, and what the rule of thirds is for interviews and formal videos. I now know how to use the tripod for all videos even though i wasn’t used to it. I had to work with people that I wasn’t used to also, and it made me learn more about the people in my class. I hope to follow video into my sophomore, junior, and senior year in high school, and to keep excelling at video production, and editing. I want to make videos that are about the school, and I want to be able to make videos freely, without any rules.  

chase scene

In the chase scene, I learned how to not act, but actually complete actions and make them look real while doing it. I was able to run without looking fake, and fall down with force. I also learned how to work with multiple directors and another actor that created the storyline and had everything planned out. I had to get used to taking many commands.

In my next project, I plan on creating a much more detailed storyboard and creating it with the rest of my group members so that they know exactly what I want them to do instead of me having to try and explain it to them.

Collaboration on this project was much different just because there were more people to work with. In the next project, I will improve my collaboration by trying to work with a group of people that I’ve worked with before and that I know.

6 shot #2 AB sequence

 

During the AB sequence, I learned how to create better shots and how to frame. While creating this video, I was able to work with two partners and choose from one video. I had to use the environment to my advantage. In the next video, I will use my editing skills to make my video flow better, and to make it look professional. I will attempt to get all of my shots in order in my next video so that I wont have to go out and re-film. The term collaboration means to work together as a team. In this project, we had to helicopter work together to make the video produce faster, and to keep each other out of boredom. I will have to use collaboration in each of my projects in the future so that I can make each video go by faster and so that I can edit with success.

6 shot system

The 6 shot system is a sequence of videos or pictures that make a clean video. The shots are extra close up, close up, medium shot, wide shot, and extra wide shot. The extra close up is a shot of the hands, the close up is a face shot, the medium shot is from the waist up, the wide shot is a whole body shot, and the extra wide shot is the entire scene.

What i learned from this project was how to film each shot with precision and how to make each shot work out in sequence. I also learned how to make the shots line up in order to be clean. I had to re-teach myself how to use the blade tool and how to cut the music off to fit my video.

When I make my next project I will use the 6 shot system but I will put my own creative touch to it.

highlight video

While in final cut pro, I learned the ways to import and export by using command E & I. I also learned all of the blade tools and how to select short clips of certain videos using I & O. I had never used Final Cut Pro, so I had to learn everything to be able to use it, what I listed above were the main points.

I chose my hobby as dirt biking because I like being able to go fast on a motorized vehicle that is completely under my control. I also ride with my best friend who doesn't go to this school, but has the knowledge of how to ride and control the bike like I do. I chose to start riding for fun because my dad used to ride.

This hobby is important to me because it is surprisingly a good way to be active outside and gives you some exercise. You get moving and exercise from the way the bike reacts with the environment, and if you crash you have to be able to get the bike up and running again and that means lifting the bike when you're hurt and tired.

animation dream house

Dream house animation

While making this house, we had to put a creative touch into it, while giving it an overhang, windows, and some extra pieces of the house like a pool. We had to create the idea of the house in our head and then put it down in the program. We got new ideas as removed along. There was no pre planing for me. I just sat down and made it. I learned how to move quickly and efficiently while also teaming up with my friends for help. Next time I would make a bigger house because mine was very small and I would keep my flat roof because its modern and easy. I will use these experiences next year to make even better projects and get better ideas.
