Graphic Design 2nd Semester Final

2nd Semester Final 

What did I do this semester?

Graphic design students (me) learned how to use typography and using what your learned from 1st and 2nd semester to make a logo. We also learned how to use mock ups for our projects as well. other projects had us create a picture of ourselves using abstract or other methods taught during class. Recent projects had us create envelope designs and business cards. We also made a letterhead for the logo project. 

Projects?

Logo Design:

This project is pretty straightforward, you take a non well known company and recreate a better logo for the said company. This project took a little over 2 weeks to have a rough sketch of the logos and to choose six to be drawn on Adobe Illustrator. The not choose one logo design to add 2 colors of your choice for to be a official logo. Next is to design a business card, an envelope, and a letterhead. After designing those, you have to make a mockup of uniforms, merchandise, billboards, and a picture of the exterior and interior of the building. The challenges to this project was making the design of the letterhead envelope and the business card (for me). Mostly because it was my first time doing something like this. I learned how to make business cards and letterheads. I changed the look of the final logo design and what colors I wanted the log too look like. My overall opinion and final outcome of the project was pretty good. Other than the challenges I faced, this project was really well done for myself.

Quote Posters:

This project is also pretty straightforward, you have to choose four quotes from anything and use typography and your creative mind to have this quote stand out. First was to choose quotes. For me, I chose quotes form Dizzy Gillespie, Frank Sinatra, Tech N9ne, and Miles Davis. Next was Creating them in Illustrator and that was it. This project took as long as the logo design project. The challenges for this projects was how you wanted the quote poster to look like. You wanted to use colors that compliment each other, and have the typography work with what the quote was. I learned that the quote is the main focus over anything else. The reader needs to see and focus on the quote. Feedback for this project was to keep the quote in focus. have the colors make the font easy to read or it won't be able to read clearly. I change the colors and the big the words were. I hated and loved one I made for this project. Some of the Poster I really hated. 

Poster/ Design style/designer Presentation

These next 2 projects go hand in hand with each other. The poster project was a poster of your designer or movement you were given by the teacher. You were to make a poster the way the movement looked or how the designer would make it. The other project was a presentation of a designer or graphic movement. The powerpoint was to look like the movement or how the designer style was. I had very little challenges other than how I presented my designer because this presentation was timed. I learned about my designer, the designer was Saul Bass. A legend in the movie industry and the graphic world. M overall opinion was positive because I enjoyed making the powerpoint and the poster.

Time Usage during class and on projects:

Time In Class

I used my time on finishing and learning about graphic design and projects.

Finished Early?

If I finished early with projects then I would go back and see if I can make it better. If I'm satisfied the n I would work on other school work. 

Outside of School?

What I do outside of school now is messing around with adobes software and seeing the work of other graphic designers through social media. To get inspired by almost anything I see for these projects and maybe the future for myself.


Area of Strengths as an employee or Graphic Designers/Improvement?

As a graphic designer is to meet the deadline and have the project look as good as you can with the abilities given to as of right now. In the future, it can look 20 times better than your previous work from the past. improvements would to understand how to use the adobe illustrator and photoshop to create something I can make on my own.

Summary:

Love about his semester?

What I loved for this semester was learning new things as a graphic designer and how I can use these new abilities for the future. I also enjoyed helping my friend for almost all his projects. I loved making some of the projects I mentioned earlier in the post. I also love how I don't have to leave classes during my 3rd and 4th hour. 

Change? Do differently?

What I would change, changes constantly is happening throughout the days, but the biggest would be how I would work for my assignments. Giving more effort and taking the new learnings more seriously. This would also fall under my overall take away from this semester.

Goals and Final thoughts:

Goals for next year would be making better things for this class. Final Thoughts are none.

Marks and Symbols

Marks And Symbols

What Ive learned:

     I learned that there are different types of logos or like certain categories for each logo. One is symbols, which use simple and unique imagery to represent whatever the company is or making. I also learned for logos is that there are disadvantages for each logo typing. Symbol logos are expensive and more complex to explain to people. 

Difference between a symbol and a logo:

     A symbol is an image that represents an object whether it be for a car or for a meaning. It could also represent the sky or the night. Logos use imagery with words to represent companies or other industries. When symbol and logo are used together, they become a combination mark, I say combo mark for convenience. 

Important things to bring up: 

     A logo should compliment itself to make it look appealing to the audience or viewers or however you want to call people. Symbols are the same way, they also should be easy to understand when someone brings up this certain logo/symbol. Lastly, an important thing ti know is to keep it simple and not complicated to follow for the viewer to see when able to identify this symbol/logo.

Favorite thing That I learned over this Article:

     My favorite thing learning in this article is how there are different ways to make a logo. Whether its a typography like logo or using imagery for a use of a logo. And even the logo becoming a combo mark to create something anew. 

General thoughts and questions:

     No questions for me. thoughts would have to be on making a logo to match the product to company the logo/symbol is being used for.

Typography

Typography Videos

What I learned:

I learned that typography is more than a bunch of fonts slapped around a piece of paper. Having to use different fonts using emotion towards the product you are working with. Creating a product using negative or positive aspects to show a theme or topic for the reader. There also a set of families for different fonts and also using bold or italics. There are sets for typography, serifs and sans serif. serifs use lines coming out of certain posts of a letter and a sans serifs are the opposite. They don't use any lines sticking out of the letter. you also combine different fonts or families to create a better visual
and blend with the topic. 

Biggest Take Away from the Videos:

The biggest take away from the video series is that you can combine different fonts to make something cool out of it. Having to learn that the upper and lower case letters can create a big impact with your work. 

Summary of what I learned from the article and three pints that are important:

Create a visual hierarchy with the product for the viewer to like and enjoy so they can but it. having to combine fonts and creating headlines using weight and spacing. Making the viewers eye think how attractive and easy the visual is. mixing serifs and san serifs that can work well together using contrast. Contrast is basically using the weight and space of each font. you also want to use italics and upper or lower case letters to make it appealing.

Favorites and what is valuable for the future?

My favorite thing reading about is how each design creates a story for the reader to understand and relate with the product. Seeing how your work can affect others through emotion. Also using emotion to connect with you and the reader or viewer. What is valuable for the future is how you use typography. Seeing how the fonts contrast with each other. or how fonts can make the design feel alive and such. 

Thoughts and conclusion?

My thoughts are realizing how typography is a big deal used for graphic designers. also how its used for a lot of marketing brands and daily life images for other people to enjoy.

The Castle Maya Project

     In this project, I learned about the software system Maya and what it is used for. I learned the how to create shapes and as the title suggests, a castle. I know the basics on using the light tools to give a realistic look towards the Maya projects we have done so far. How I learned to do this is basically messing around with the tools until I have a basic understanding on what they can do. Being taught helps but actually doing it makes the better experience. I picked this project because I am more proud of this work compared to my other projects, and I had more fun creating a 3d like model from a software based on my design of the castle. I most likely won't use any of the things I learned outside of school or for the future of my career. I have nothing to change over me or the way I work or I won't have anything done period. 

Strengths and Weaknesses/ Improvements 

     My strengths is to turn in my projects on time, the exceptions is the blogs. My weaknesses is to pay more attention towards the teacher. I also need to take notes so I can go back and look over to understand what to do. What to improve on is the weaknesses. 


The Walking Cycle

I learned how to draw my character and scan it into the computer. Then we have the character be placed into photoshop, give it color and place each main body part into layers. After that, we place the photoshop character into a software called after effects. After that, I put the character together and have it start moving. The learning process is the same for everything else when I work on projects. I can use this to enhance my drawing skills and have better ideas for my future career. I would change on how the cycle ended up as but it still turned better than I had hoper for. 

The Polything

     I learned how to use the shapes and how to use the channel box. Having to change size and adding blind color on the polishing. Having to Create a cylinder and duplicate it to have the sphere become abnormal. I understood that you need to have the cylinder shape out the inside out of the sphere to create whatever we made. I also freestyled pos the coloring and the lighting. Oh yea, we used lighting to give it, you know, light. Again, not much to change in regards of this project. 

Walking animation 

    We used the walking cycle character or made your own character and put him into a multiplane cycle. the multiplane is the background the character is walking through. We basically placed it into a cycle of a background. I learned how I did this by watching videos of others and seeing what a multiplane is. I, again won't be using these types of skills into any account for myself or the future. What I want to change is making my character walk correctly and worked more on my multiplane. I personally didn't enjoy making this project mostly because of how I made it into.

The Multiplane

I learned how to make a back round move on its one using multiple layers. How I learned to do this is listening to the teacher and watching Disney use their big freaking machine have a few layers move to have a cool movie animated. There would be nothing I would change over this project.

Semester Final: Graphic Design

What Did I do during 1st Semester? 

     What kind of Projects?

One of the projects we made during the first semester is making a vector portrait using illustrator. This project has us use the pen tool to create shapes along the picture to make a abstract picture. you can also make the picture as you see fit as well. Another project is making a raccoon, also in illustrator, and then using the raccoon for a holiday card. 

How long did each project take?

     The Vector portrait had taken at least half a week in on making the face. Then it took the other half week to make the upper half of the body on my picture. It also took an hour to make the neck to have the picture look human. The making of the raccoon took a week to finish and the creating it into a jpeg took an hour. The postcard had taken, I believe a week to make or maybe it was less than half a week. We also had to make a fall like background for the raccoon which took two days. 

What were some challenges I faced?

     The main challenge I had were using the pen tool and having each pen drawing be put in a layer together. Each shape I had created for its certain layer would always go back to the picture layer. I also had to then realize that you have to complete a shape to have it on its own layer. After realizing that, I was able to have a abstract face. For the raccoon, the hardest challenge was having to fit the shape that falls behind the raccoons eyes. Then having to find a panel that had no directions on finding it. 

What Did I learn along the way?

I learned that I favor graphic design over animation. I already learned that video is not a course I would enjoy. I learned more about the tools within photoshop and illustrator. I figured out on how to use the pen tool. Not everything has to be curved. 

What was some feedback you were given?
     
The only feedback I was given over my work in this class was to fix the order of my raccoon for Behance.

What did I change?

     I changed the order of the raccoons.     


What's my overall opinion on the design process and final outcome of the project? 

     Other than the raccoon project, most of these were do this how see you see fit. I don't mind this at all, though I never really appreciate the work I create for anything. There are times where I do like my outcomes but that rarely happens. I do like my postcard and how it turned out to become. 

How did I use my time during this class?

Time in class?

     Mostly creating ideas on each project I've made and finishing them hopefully on time. if I have extra time, I go look up music and other examples on whatever project the class has Been given. I also look up random stuff and proceed to do research over them. Or finish any homework I have for other classes. I don't often work outside of school for graphic design unless its homework that doesn't require adobe such and such. not even research over the projects we have done.

Strengths as and employee or graphic designer, how do I maximize these strengths?

     My strengths as a worker or designer would be putting my creative mind into work to have something made how I would want it. Me being able to space my work to suit my own pace when using time management. This kind of class lets me just goes for what I want make.

Improvements?

     Things to improve one is actually pacing my time on a deadline. I need to see things more broad and then having to narrow down and decide on what to create. I also should look more into my own designs than having to look on someone else's cartoon. 

What did I like over this semester, what to change, goals for 2nd semester, and final thoughts

     If we are talking about events that happened in and out of school during this semester, then I didn't like much over this semester.  As for G. Design, I enjoyed the projects given out for this semester. If I had to change anything about myself then I'm becoming who I want to be or who I really am.  Goals I have for the next semester is to keep up grades over a c-. I also want to at least pass my permit test before second semester ends. And overall have a great time before I graduate high school.

PhotoShop

PhotoShop

     What I learned with using photoshop is that it is not easy to use during the beginning (for me) of photoshopping certain pictures. I learned about certain tools that lets you photoshop pictures. Like the clone stamp tool, having to take a part of the picture and fill it in another spot of the picture. I also learned to merge pictures together to make it into one picture. Also to have creating each product with each set of tools recommended for each picture.

3 Three Key Tools Important for Photoshop

     The Lasso Tool:
A tool used to close in on certain areas of the picture and to proceed into replace it with something within the picture.

     The Clone Stamp Tool:
The clone stamp is what I explained already. This is important so you don't have to go back and select a certain area to cover over.

     The Quick Selection Tool:
The selection tool lets you drag and select a certain part of the photo and replace it with something else you have selected without selecting the whole object. This makes things easier when you want a certain area colored in with something else.

Favorite Skills I learned for Photoshop

Im not sure whether our not if I am going to use these skills for/in the future. My favorite skill is Taking the picture and regroup it with another picture to create something cool. Like the challenge when we had to take a picture to create with a nature picture.

My Strengths and Weaknesses 

     My strengths for this project tutorial was understanding what each tool did for each product(for the most part). Another strength is each of my products turned out to be pretty ok. My weaknesses was to complete each of these products on time. Also that I had a hard time trying to remember what each tool key it was. 

What Would I do Different and Do the Same?

     I would do different is to have my products looks semi decent with the one shown during the tutorial videos. I also would want to have spent more time on each of these products. What I would keep the same is all of my work made from myself than to have it look like the videos product.

General thoughts and Conclusions

     My thoughts is that I learned a lot of new things with photoshop that I may or may not even use in the future of my life or career.

Why Animation

Why Animation?

Image result for vanossgaming animated

     I chose animation because I got an interest in animation after watching a youtuber create an animation over his character in a video game. I watch other yotubers do the same thing. I also am fasinated of how each frame of a drawing creates now motion animation. I also watched animation shorts created by other youtubers based over video games or cartoons. Theres also why I did animation, mostly because I didn't want to do video.

Albert Mann: Final Exam

1.      The 2nd semester project was a group project that makes you create a product to produce and publish for a presentation. The project uses all the skills you learn throughout 1st semester and a little in 2nd semester. The project also lets you use communication skills to work together and to have fun meeting new peers. unless you're lucky and get your best friend etc.

     The project took as long as the days that we were given to us. I can't really explain on how long the project took other than that each graphic design were finished on time. the video took a little longer to edit and the animation needed more time to finish. The 2d one.

     Challenges on the project were probably the video because it took forever to gain access to the gym. All of the gyms were being used in the morning for once until someone was fine with us shooting the video during their class time.

     I learned that making a product takes a lot longer than I thought it would be. Working with others has never been my strong suit and I learned that it will never be my strong suit. Making an animation with little remembrance is very annoying. I also learned that communication is key in group projects.

     I don't remember any feedback for our presentation other than that the video was really good. And that the confidence in us were great.

     There was very little change with the graphic designs and the video. other changes were mostly in the website with the arrangements. Also changes to what the websites colors were going to be and the  pages to which link will go to.

     My overall work in 4th quarter was pretty bad. But that is only for animations, the 2d animations. my graphic designs were good and better than how I would make before. That kinda would go for my editing in video, I would work more in editing and earning over the software. That goes for the animation as well.

     2.     Most of the class time was put into creating the graphic designs and the 2d animation. Though my animation wasn't used and my ad was the design that was used only. I wasted most of time in video.

     Using productivity mostly went on making graphic designs and a little in my animation. when I finished, I went and sees if I can make it look better or try something that would work on the graphic design. When I finished editing my video, I was done and didn't do anything else.

     Doing things outside of class would be drawing things that I would like to see happen. Like my moms logo that I still need the make. I also watch youtubers that have really good editing in their videos. One of the you tubers I watch is really good at more of a 3d animation and 2d animations.

     3.    Find something I'm good at and exploit that ability to its fullest to show what I'm capable of. That only happens with my drawings. Anything else will show lazy work unless I'm into it. Also if I'm into what I'm doing, I will try my best to make it the I what it to that will look good.

     4.   Improvements for me would be to figure out more about each software to show my abilities. More improvements in animating that would look good to me. I don't care if someone thinks its bad when I think its good.

5.     What I loved the most about this semester was using everything that was taught to us students to create one entire product. I also loved that I got to be in olsons and coopers class again.

     I wouldn't change much of anything unless the presentation can go away permanently. other than that, I see nothing wring with how the system works.

     One goal I would like to make for next year is to go by the days with nothing to lose. going through life finishing things before I lose the chance in my life.

My final thoughts on anything is that next year for Ecomm is going to be a good one to where I won't quit.

CSS and CARP Design

CSS CARP Design:

   This project is to understand the meaning of CARp and how to use the CSS in dreamweaver. Like the two files created, the first is a file without the use of CARP. The second actually uses it. 


Contrast:

Contrast consists with usage of color, size, text size. Using these on covers (example) to brighten the mood with heading making it stand out more. It catches the eye of people when they are reading.

Alignment:

Alignment consists with flush left, flush right, and justice aligns the text left right or stretched out. This brings out the text, making the words easier to read. 

Repetition:

Repetition is is just reacting the use of contrast and alignment. this keeps the poem (project) looking clean and professional. In the project, I used the same colors for most of the poem to keep consist.


Proximity:

Proximity keeps the structure of the project being grouped together saying that these items are related to each other. Having items far away will keep these items ungrouped saying that their unrelated. For the project, The text is kept closer together because they relate to one another.

New things learned?

Having the use of  the properties and to change the layout with margins. The change of color using the ink pad thing to have multiple colors.

Logo Sketching and Illustrator





Logo Sketching:

     Creating my logo when sketching was me literally drawing a car creating tire smoke having the creation of my last name. though I dropped the car because it made the logo a bit to big. Using a tire made the logo look more as a logo then a drawing/ illustration.


Logo Illustrator:

     My logo making in illustrator is the same explanation for my logo in sketch. Having the logo have a wheel (not sure if this design of the wheel already exists) in black with grey tire smoke coming off to create my last name. Reason I used black and grey is because tires are black and smoke resembles smoke.

Opinion?:

     My opinions over my logo is honestly, could have been made better. though I'm not as good with using the adobe illustrator as I am in sketching. But either way I could have made the tire better along with my name having an illusion with the smoke coming from the tire.

Flower Drawings

Sketch Drawing: Flowers 

Illustrator
















Drawing Twenty Times:

     Drawing twenty different flowers was very similar with all the flowers. Not saying their all the same because they have petals and stems.  Drawing flowers were a lot tougher trying to keep a stable look on each flower. Having which the petals keeping a similar size and the size of the flowers. The uniqueness of each flower did make them really fun and challenging which made it look rewarding. Like the roses I drew or the the flower in the top left of my sketch.

Flowers in Illustrator:

I drew a flower that looked like a flower depending on how you see it. On my sketch, I can tell that the drawing looked like a flower. but when creating the drawing on illustrator, it could look like anything. though I drew this flower because it looked cool and unique than the other flowers. But I don't think you will found this flower in real life. When using colts for the image, nothing really stood out except for the one I chose obviously.

My Personality Type









My Personality Type:

     My personality type is Introvert, Sensing, Feeling, and perceiving. Or ISFP, and the way I see it is a person who requires alone time to achieve he/she's greatest goals. someone who likes to look out for someone that works in the shadows. Celebrities that share the same personality type are John Travolta, Zac Efron, and Drew Barrymore. 


Does the description match the personality of mine?

     The description that shows my personality type is how I need to be mostly by myself to work at my best. In other words, to be a complete shut in that can get stuff done. Everything else that was in the description didn't describe may personality all that well. 

I honestly didn't need the description to better understand on who I really am. The way I do things can be shown to help me understand. The way I play or work just show who I am or can be in the present or future.

Clarification for the role I play:

     My personality type that plays my role on a team, in my family, or being a part of something is someone who sits in the shadows giving support when they most need it. Though I still need to help in a way that shows I'm supporting my team/family/ anything I can be on.


A Misunderstanding:

     I have probably been mistaken for things that doesn't make true for who I am. Though not sure if its because of my personality type. Like when I'm in school sleeping on my desk, people wonder if I'm depressed. No, I'm just really, really, really, sleepy all the time. People I have Quote issues with would be my brother. Its not because he's just my brother, more than that. We also learned that he is an extravert. Like when he just butts in my business without asking, or is that what siblings just do?

Things I have learned: 

    Things i've learned throughout this project is one, about my personality type. I understand full well about me being a introvert but everything else, I didn't know. Showing how my personality explains the way I interact with other people.


LOBGR Personality Test:

As the name suggests, the LOBGR shows your personality traits with 4 animals. Those being a lion, beaver, otter, and a golden retriever. My strongest personality trait is the golden retriever, which is good at making friends and being very loyal. Retrievers also do not like big changes that need security. Being very sensitive and having a deep relationship, but only having a at least two close friends. My second strongest trait is a beaver, which are very organized. They believe the right way to do everything and want to do it in the book. Beavers are also creative with the desire of solving everything. they don't like sudden change.

Color Theory

Color Wheel
















Favorite Color:
   My favorite color is dark grey, reason is because it's a dark color. Though I guess most of the dark colors are my favorite. If you haven't guessed already, I really don't like bright colors. Ill use bright colors if needed but that won't always happen, or in my case anyway. Dark grey is used on most cars including my favorite car. Dark grey has been used in iconic things like super heroes. And by that I mean Batman. And I guess the time where the Blackest Night happened in the DC universe. Anyway that is why I like dark grey.

Least Favorite Color:
     
     My least favorite color is white, reason because it hurts my eyes. That and I'm used to the dark, not wanting to go outside hissing at the brightness. White is also a very boring color, in my opinion, because it doesn't show something that makes it stand out. Except the fact that its really bright. its like Yin and Yang in a sense since their pretty much each others opposite. Now I can't think of any other reason on why I don't like white. 


Color Theory:

       Color theory is the way to show energy and creation towards logos and drawings, etc. It can show the artistic ability in peoples drawings following dark or bright colors. Having the use of shade or tint colors. the creativity using the three main colors of the color wheel, Red, Blue and yellow. Also the use of secondary colors, which are violet, green and orange. Then mixing secondary and primary colors for tertiary colors.

Illustrator




Sketch









My Sketch in Adobe illustrator
I sketched an ice cream cone to create in adobe illustrator. I mostly used shapes and color to make my drawing look like an ice cream cone. With this, I used my drawing to have be recreated in adobe illustrator. For this I used the shaper tool to create shapes like a triangle and a circle. Making these shapes required the mouse to form a shape and the shaper tool will do the rest for you.




Creating my Sketch in Illustrator
Creating my design on illustrator was not as easy until you obviously get used to the shaper tool. That or I can't follow directions that well. Anyways, until I was used to using the abilities with the shaper tool, it had gotten easier to use. The process to use the shaper tool like erasing shapes to add other shapes to form something else wasn't as easy as you would think.

Illustrator 
How I think with illustrator is more on the iffy side. To think on the realistic side, using illustrator for a logo design for a company or job would be great to use. Having it used for drawings or to create something on the fly isn't how feel about it. I'd rather be free drawing show my skills than using an application. but I'm probably saying this because I'm still not used to using Illustrator.

SketchBook Drawing



Artistic point of view and details

     For my sketchbook drawing, I mostly went for logos over typography and also having color. Though I didn't color the background because I was to lazy. Anyways, I chose logos because I found it representing what graphic design can be. I also didn't know what else to draw that shows typography and found it easier to draw up with logos. Now for the color aspect, I wanted to give something that represents the logos in their own way. That and people would most likely be annoyed with the absent of color. Since I don't have a lot of color to begin with. 

7 Key Elements to Graphic Design

     How I used the 7 key elements to my sketchbook drawing is to show what my drawings are about overall. Like the use of color that brings out the logos to make them look appealing. This also follows with texture and contrast. Then using size and shape, my sketch can end up covering space that I want filled or having shape that gives logos a unique sense of style. Also having to use value for the logos light or dark aspect of itself. 

What I liked about my work/Sketching process 

     The fact that I'm able to free draw over something I like is the greatest thing in the world. I liked the way my drawings looked then something I would draw back 4 years ago. I also enjoyed what kind of logo I was able to draw like the Nightwing logo or the Batman logo. Now for the sketching process, I went for trial and error for each of my drawing. This also gets me better to draw the same drawing to make it look good.

e9 Web Project


Reflection: 
The e9 Web Project  was to create a website that shows how to make links, headings, and creating a basic website.
The process: 
for making the e9 website was using and learning the basics over DreamWeaver Adobe. This lead on making the website. Things I learned was on creating the basic websites and how to create links.

Things to do Differently/Same
Theres nothing really to change when we were put through a tutorial to create a basic website.


Conclusion:
 Anything involving web is very hard, annoying, and cool all at the same time.


The Rule of Thirds

     The Rule of Thirds:
Today you are about to learn about the rule of thirds and what does the rule of thirds do. The rule of thirds follows up on having an object not being in the middle of a shot. Keeping someone along the four power points to create a better shot.





Tutorial:
Basically, you keep two or more objects to have outside of middle shot. this makes the shot have a better interest in characters and important aspects for the movie.


Rule Of Thirds

Chase Scene




Reflection: 

The Chase Scene shows how to take shots from a point A to point B sequence.  In this video, One student leaves the bathroom just to become tagged by another student. Then led on to a chase throughout the school.

Process: 

process on making the chase scene was creating multiple shots following  the rule of thirds and the axis line. Also to have the 6 shots in making your clips for the chase scene. Things I learned through this project is to have a good sequence and to have 20 shots for a one minute video.

Things I would have Differently/Same: 

I would have done a better job on editing the shots to have a better sequence of the video. Also to have a good understanding of the video's story. I also would want to add music and sound effects in the chase scene. Things to keep the same is idea for the video.

Conclusion:

I had fun making this chase scene with my partner Brett.

Sequence Video





Reflection:
The sequence video is showing a sequence of shots following up the last shot to create a smooth video. The video needs the 6 shots system and to follow the axis line at all times. Then to have record each shot to put it in one video.

Process:
Taken each shot and smacking it into one video. Applying the 6 shots and the rule of thirds. Also to follow the axis line.


What I learned: 
I learned on how to further edit videos to create a sequence of a or the story. Using all or most of the 6 shots and following the axis line. I also learned on keeping each shot being 3-4 seconds.

Conclusion: 
I would have added all 6 shots in the video.

6ShotSystem Video




6ShotSystem:
This video shows the of the 6 shots, the axis line, and the rule of 3rds. Though my video doesn't show all of the 6 shots. the shots that are included is the wide shot, close up shot, and the medium shot. I did believe that I followed the rule of thirds and the axis line.

Things I would have done differently:
I also would have a better story line that would make more sense as well. I would have also put in all of the 6 shots in the video. I also needed to follow the rule of thirds a lot better.
