Hat Trick Review

This video was one that I made last year so I decided to review it. The video has a good story and plot that makes sense and does not have really any holes in the story. It is also very funny and has good music that goes along well with the story at the time. The lighting for most of it is not that bad either even though it was back when I did not really understand how to set up lighting that well.

There is, however, somethings that I would change in the short film. The last sequence of shots goes to the beat but it jumps super fast in time so I would get more shots to make that part last longer. Another thing I would fix is some of the dialogue I would make it a little bit louder and easier to hear.

Overall, this video is hysterical and reminds me of all the funny things that my friend and I did while making this video. The video Hat Trick is a good one to keep around for laughs and to show my growth in video making because this quality was a lot better and I have became even better today. Here is the video below!

Chase Scene

This project was a chase scene that was a sequence of around 30 shots. The shots used were medium, wide, close up, extreme close up, point of view, and over the shoulder. What it took to make this video was before we filmed we made a storyboard, next we took 2 hours to film the shots we had on our storyboard, finally I edited the video in Final Cut Pro. I learned how to color correct in final cut pro which helped make my shots look better. No new camera shots or angles were used in the video so I didn't learn anything in the camera category. If I could go back now and change something I would make some more of the shots have a better white balance in the hallways because they were kind of yellowish. All of the other shots and angles I would keep the same because they all looked really well in the finish. In the next project I will white balance more often to make the shots look better. In conclusion my video was very good in my opinion, just a few visual things due to the whi...

Ancient Civilization Video Review

Image
This project was from sophomore year for my ancient civilizations class. I made a video over the punic war. I thought it was really good for the level of experience I had at this time. There is a lot of things I would have changed. Some things I would change is the audio level of the music and the voice overs because the music is too loud and the words too quiet. Another change I would make would be some of the shots I used from other videos I found and used snippets because I didn't know what to use. I would go back and problem solve and make my own shots to fix these parts to make it all my own shots. Other shots were a tad shaky when panning to the sides so I would redo those. Overall, the video went with the information being provided. It followed the criteria that it needed to for me to get a good grade. The video will be a good memory and learning experience on how to make an entertaining video that follows with factual information. I would definitely make another one ...

Blood and Legos

Blood Drive This is a news report over the ONW blood drive on Nov. 14 2014 that I edited and filmed with my video team of Kit Walters and Victoria Scarduzio . I had to make sure to capture important story telling shots about the ONW blood drive, we chose to follow sophomore Olivia Contractor.  There was no tripod use so all of the shots were shot in a particular stance to make them as steady as possible. Once we were done filming we brought it back to edit, using a very import editing technique called JNL edits. A JNL edit is where you see the subject speaking before they are heard in the video.  That new technique was the most important thing that I learned from this news report process. After seeing the shots and how it turned out, most likely if I did it again I would ask Olivia more questions and do my best to make steadier shots. The rest I would do the exact same because the video turned out quite well. In conclusion I learned a lot about the importance of ...
