4th Quarter reflection




4th Quarter Reflection

Group Project and Presentation

Our project was a fake product we made called the iPillow, and we had to make a logo, video, and commercial about it. This project took us the whole 4th quarter. Some of the challenges we faced was how did we make the website and what colors do we have to make the colors seem like the night. These two questions were the hardest for our group to answer. Some new things we learned was teamwork and how to use all of our skills to make a project. I wasn't really given feedback, so nothing changed from our project. My overall opinion about the 4th quarter was it was really fun to revisit all of our learning through the years and implying them to this project.

How I Used Class Time

The activities I did was made one of the commercials in video, helped make colors in graphic design, helped make the website, and made one of the 2D animations. When I was done, I always tried to polish up the website little so it was good for presenting, I also did the elevator pitch when I was done. Outside of class, I made a banner for my brothers graduation using adobe photoshop, and I think that turned out well.

Strengths in E-Comm

My Strengths in E-Comm after one year is probably video. I feel I'm pretty good at editing videos and coming up with the story line. I also felt pretty good in Graphic Design. These are the 2 classes I will be taking next year in E-Comm

What Areas I Need Improvement In

The area I struggled the most in was web design. I just didn't understand coding that well. The way I overcame that was looking at other peoples coding and then looking at mine to see whats different in the coding, then fixed mine so it was the same and the problem fixed. I had to do that a lot during the Semester 1 final. 

Summery

What I loved most about this quarter was the project set up, doing the whole shark tank thing.  One thing I would change is people being able to pick their group, because I feel it would motivate me to do the best work I possibly can , and then our project would turn out better. My biggest takeaway was teamwork and listening to others ideas and imply it to our project. One goal I would like to set next year is to be more creative in my Graphic Design, especially since Im going into Graphic Design, I need to do better. I final thought is E-Comm was fun, and I was debating if I should do it at the beginning of the year. That turned out to be a great decision by me.

Graphic Design Final Blog Post My Favorite Projects My favorite project to do was the vector illustrated project. What we had to do was trace over a choice of a family member using the pen tool, and shade in spots of the picture. In the end, we made a simple version of the picture you chose. The picture I chose was a picture of my dog. This project took me about 3-4 weeks to complete. The main challenge I faced was tracing over the darker/lighter parts of my dogs, and making those parts the correct color. The main skill I learned during the project was accurately tracing over pictures. Throughout the whole project, I always thought I was done, but someone would always tell me that there could be more shading. Others peoples advice telling me to do more shading motivated me to do extra shading, which would make it look less cartoonish. At the very beginning, I was going to do a picture of myself, but I decided to go with my dog instead, which I thought was a good change I made. T...

Music Video Blog The Music We chose and the Theme We Portrayed The music we chose was From Your Mouth from God Lives Underwater. The theme I wanted to Portray was serious but yet cool because he was serious through the whole video but he was eating in reverse and it looked like he was pulling the food from your mouth. The Process The first thing we did is we researched different music videos, and chose one that is clean and we could realistically do. Then, after that, we filled out our story board so we knew what the actor should do and how quickly he should do it. Then, we made a shopping list of all the food we needed. Then, we met at Johns house and me and drew filmed him eating. Finally, Ethan edited but we all helped him. My Role The main role I did was planning out what he should eat, and how quickly he should do it. Technically The main thing we learned is how to edit in reverse. Professionally The main thing we learned is teamwork. We had to find ...

Movie Trailer Blogger

The project we did was recreating a movie trailer. Our group chose "Napoleon Dynamite". Process In preproduction, we worked on looking at all the clips, drawing them out, and putting what time that happens. We also put all of the lines our actors had to say. During production, we filmed all of our clips, including going to places like the lockers, my house, and Woodland Elementary. During Post production, we entered in the slides, the music, and put the clips in order. What I Learned I didn't learn as much of technology things like hardware snd software. I learned mostly acting and teamwork, as I was our main actor and I acted in a couple other videos. It was hard, and you had to cooperate well, but it was fun. What I Would Do Differently/Same One thing I would do differently is filming earlier so we didn't cram editing at the end. One thing I would do the same is our clips were good, and that was probably because we worked hard on pre production. What Ex...
