AB Sequence Video

I learned how to make transitions from one scene to another. I will use this in my next project to effectively show how someone goes from one place to another. I had to collaborate with my group because you have to be very specific with what you say. For example If I wanted Brendan to go faster or slower than I would have to tell him. I also figured out it is easier to get a close up of someone face when they are showing a face they would probably have and not posing for one.

6 Shot Hobby Video

Extra Close shot-XCU This is a close up of the hands
Close up- CU This is a close up of only the face
Medium Shot- MS This is a shot of the waist up
Wide Shot- WS This is a shot of the Area Around the person
Extra Wide Shot- XCU This is a shot that has the whole scene
Over The Shoulder- OTS This is a shot that has the back of the persons head over their shoulder.

I learned about the 6 shot system and what each is and means. I also learned not to put wide shots next to each other.

Highlight Video

1. First I downloaded videos from YouTube. Then I used the upload button in Final Cut Pro to add the videos to it. Next I took my favorite parts of the videos and put them together in a compilation of my liking. I selected all of the and separated the audio and then disabled that audio. Then I added transition between the videos and at the end. Finally I downloaded music and uploaded that into my video. Then uploaded it to YouTube.

2. I choose this because I enjoy boy scouts. It is important to me because I get to meet new friends and have fun.

Website Hello World

In this project I had to create a website using Adobe Dreamweaver. I worked with this using code and design view. I also used css rules to create things like the white border around my picture. I learned how to use the css rules and I also learned what some of the tags mean in the coding. Something differently I would do is to do it quicker because I barely got done with this in time so next time I would not take my time as much. Something I would do the same is to follow the instructions exactly like i did.

Dream House

In this project I had to create a dream house that had to have detail by having things like an overhang. I was using Google sketch-up to create this house. Before I started the house I had to think of what it was kind of going to look like. When I started making it I just made a simple rectangular house shape then continued to push and pull until i got details like the roof. While I worked on this I learned that you have to make sure to pay attention to every side of the shape or else one side could end up just blank white. I also learned how to use Sketch-up because going into it I had very little idea how to use it but I knew what it was so that helped. Something I would do differently is give a little more detail to the backside of the house because it is just a boring brick material wall. Something I would do the same is my door and windows because I think that they look really nice. I will use this experience to help me in my next project because now I know what just a little bit of detail can do to something. I had fun with this project i enjoyed putting my own creative design in to something.

Keynote Animation

I used keynote to create all of the slides for this animation. Once I had the slides done I exported the slides to images then imported those images into imovie where I could then add sounds effects and make slides longer or shorter.

My First Animation

My animation is about a crane with a wrecking ball destroying a building and the building is sad about being destroyed but in the end he gets his revenge. I used the pen tool a lot which allows me to draw what I want and then i can align it along what I want using different points on  what I drew. I also used the interface on the right to fill in shapes with color and edit shadows and borders. Some things people like about mine were how I made my clouds and my story. Two things they said I could improve on is have my clouds moving more and have my building do more than just stand there.
