AB Sequencing Video

In this second video assignment, I worked with a partner to create an AB sequencing video of someone walking. We had to be sure to incorporate all the aspects of technical video making we had learned previously as well as the new idea of AB sequencing. AB sequencing is essentially just putting video clips in a certain order to create a continuous video that tells a flowing story.

Process

First, I created a storyboard to layout the various shots and order of those shots for the video. My partner and I then began to record the shots for the video, being sure to incorporate all 6 shots, not cross the axis line, and stay with the rule of thirds. Once we got all the needed shots, I uploaded the clips onto my computer and began to edit using Adobe Premiere. I had to make sure to put all the shots in an order that would flow well and stick with the rules of AB sequencing. After I finished editing, I uploaded it to YouTube and began writing this blog post.

What I Learned

Through this video assignment, I learned about AB sequencing and built upon my knowledge of the 6 shot system and other video techniques I learned through previous videos. I was able to learn more about the 6 shot system, the axis line, and the thirds rule. I also learned more about editing and how to edit more efficiently.

In the Future...

If I were able to remake this video, I would make sure that I had all the shots needed to make the video flow well and shorten some shots. There were some clips that I forgot to shoot, so the video jumped around in a few spots. Also, some of the shots were very long. I wish I would have split these clips up into shorter parts with more of the six shots incorporated.

Typography

Videos I watched a few videos to start learning about typography. Although they weren't always the most exciting, I did learn a lot that I didn't even realize I needed to know. I learned about how critical fonts can be in getting a message across and how they are often the first impression that a consumer gets of a product. I then started to learn a lot about the technical side of typography. I learned that bracketed serifs are curved whereas unbracketed serifs are sharper. I learned what type families are and how you can properly use them to their full potential. I learned that kerning is the adjustment of space between two letters, and tracking is the overall amount of space applied within a body of text. I also learned that leading is the space between lines of text and that it is typically two points greater than the font size. Finally, I learned about expressive typography and how you can really use typography as its own art form. The biggest thing I took a...

ONW Procedure Video

Image
My first video project of my sophomore year was creating a video that showed how to go through a basic procedure at ONW. My group decided to show how to get a pass and go to the restroom. Initially, we were going to show what not to do as well as what you should do, but I decided to cut that out of my edit in order to make the video shorter. We had to start the process with coming up with a concept for the video. Luckily, we came up with the idea of getting a pass and going to the restroom fairly quickly. Once we did that, I wrote the script and the other group members created the storyboard. We were supposed to start filming the next day, but we got faulty equipment so we couldn't start until the next day. As far as our cast list, we just used the people in our group as actors in the video so that we wouldn't have to disturb any other groups or classes. The process of actually filming went fairly smoothly. I was the main cameraman, one group member was the main actress, and...

My 10 Strengths Animation

Image
Process For this project we had to come up with ten strengths that we possess. The ten that I came up with are  writing, honesty, loyalty, logical, intellectual, creative, patient, helpful, supportive, and humorous. I had to ask some friends to help me come up with some of them, which was very helpful. After we came up with these strengths, we had to find a photo to use as a background for our animation. I chose a large, old library because I love books and antiques. We then had to arrange our words on the background using different layers. In order to make them look pleasing, we had to experiment with fonts, sizes, and colors. Finally, we got to the animation part. unlike the last few times, we used the video option in photoshop to animate this particular project. We used various tools availible to us to make the words move and come into the screen at different times. What I Learned While doing this project, I learned how to take advantage of more tools on Photoshop. I ...
