This class has been a great way for me to get away from the stressful school day. This doesn't feel like a class which is nice. This class demands a lot of responsibility and sometimes it is hard to keep track of all the things needed in a video. This is one of the classes where if you fall behind, its really hard to catch up. I like the fact that students can go back and fix there previous projects to show that they understand the mistake they make.

For this project I planned on doing my story over the new airbrush room, but it was too difficult to get all the footage needed. I decided I would do my project over something more personal, Family Home Evening. I tried to video on my phone but the quality was terrible. I had to redo all the shots with the proper equipment which was a pain for me and my family. I enjoyed this project because there was a lot of freedom and i got to work with the people that I love, my family.
Today in class my teacher asked the class to watch six videos by Steve Hartman and to pick two of the videos to expand on. Specifically my teacher asked the class to make connections to the "Hey, You, See, So" storytelling method. One of the stories that interested me was Diving into the unknown. One of many things that makes this story great is Steve's ability to make the viewer care. This talent goes under the "So" category. The other story that intrigued me was Veteran. The main thing that was interesting was the story starts with what is inside the Oregon trail interpretive center. Some how Steve is able to tie that fact into the story of a veteran. When he grabs the viewers attention, this is the "Hey" portion of the saying.
Today I had the opportunity to interview Mr. Harrison, he teaches the class air brush. The school has been under construction of late and Mr. Harrison is one of the lucky few to get a brand new room. I saw this as an opportunity to interview him on how he likes the new room. I learned to make sure he says his name and spell it on camera. We weren't recording when he said and spelled his name. We ask Mr. Harrison to spell his name so he is comfortable in front of the camera and so we could spell his name correctly if we decided to put in a title card.
I learned that the main light source should be behind the camera. Another thing that I learned through the lesson is that you can coach the person being interviewed. You should also be able to see both eyes on the person being interviewed. Make sure that the person being interview doesn't look at the camera they should look at the interviewer. When you are the camera operator you should never look the person being interviewed. At the end ask the person being interviewed if they have anything to add.
My teacher, Mr. Goble, asked the class to make a video using six words. I tried to fulfill this assignment at school, but it didn't go as planned. I had to come up with a new story and had to reshoot the story. I was able to email the videos to myself and the next day I was able to edit it in time to get full credit. For most of the shots, I was able to find a place to set up my phone, which was the camera that I was using, and if I couldn't i had a family member film for me.

Mr.Goble asked the class to go out and film 19 different types of shots. Me and my partner Kobe went out throughout the school and took 19 shots for ten seconds. I was able to take pictures from my phone as we videoed. then I e-mailed them to myself. When filming it was hard to get the right white balance.depth stagingestablishing shotfull shotmedium shotmedium close-up shot low angle"For Sale: baby shoes, never worn" is a story that can be interpreted in many different ways. We can imply that there was a still berth. I was looking through some of the examples of six word stories and my favorite is, "Nothing to declare. Much to remember." I like this because there are good things that happen but nothing to show for them. Ernest Hemingway
To accomplish my assignment, I had to film six specific shots. They were, Wide, Angled, Low, Linking, Depth, and Opposite. Me and my partner Spencer went into the ceramics room and filmed there. We took a film for ten seconds, but we only needed three to five for our film. We used the best three to five seconds when we were editing. To watch my video click on my videos page
Today in Broadcast technology, Mr. Goeble went over how to edit using Final Cut Pro X. There was a lot of information to intake at once, but I was able to learn a few things. I learned how to take out audio. You left click in the audio, then right click on replace audio . Next, you click on the music icon, then click on sound effects and drag the music you want under the clips.
