Video Reflection:

1. Reflect:

• The thing that went well in our video was that we had a great emotional story that could move the audience. I also thought having a different story that is not usually told with a different angle.
• From this I learned how to use sequence throughout a story also that not every story has to be factual.
• Finally what I would do different next time would be to not have to reshoot various times. To make sure we got her interview right the first time and work faster then normal.

Goal Setting

Goal Setting

By: Anna Massey

          My personal goal in the class would be to get better at time management. I always seem to come right up to very last  minute finishing my videos,  due to my OCD control of being a perfectionist or my overthinking of what story I will do for my video. To achieve this goal I am going to try to stick with a project and don't change my mind, As well as plan to shoot more footage that way I don't have to think about not having enough. I will also work harder on staying focused in class that way I can get more work done.

          For the class I would like to make ONW Now a better show. The show in previous years has been rough and don't entirely make sense, and I always got complaints from my classmates how it was uninteresting and stupid. The show needs to be better planned and flow right with great story's that will keep the audience watching. To accomplish this we will create scripts for the show as well as have better packages that are well put together and include great shots and a moving story. Making a better show will give our news station have a better rep. and give myself as well as others a sense of accomplishment and something we can be proud of.

          A goal I would like for Ecomm this year would be to create a great video for endorsement hours, It would be great to have a video to be proud of that you would want to show everyone.  To accomplish this I will put in allot of after-school work and learn more from going on on-site job opportunities with my dad. The one person I would want to impress would be my hero, my Dad. My dad does this professionally for his job and it would be great if he was impressed with what I have learned from the class and put into a film that is my own.

eComm Brochure

Our Graphic Design class has a 21st century program called eCommunication it "eComm" we decided that our program was not being portrayed well to the middle schools so our lack of students engaged in the program is low. So to boost our program up we decided to create a cool graphic brochure to convey our program and I have made one. My brochure contains a variety of shapes, patterns, and gradients to really set the effect of nice balance and soothing to the eye. The colors choose include our school colors also colors that really represent technology, which is a major part of our program. The photos I selected were taken by myself. The photos include various parts of our program included; including cameras, computer, technology but not only that a collaborative non-technological photo that shows pre-perpetration. Finally my brochure includes our programs that we offer.

Final Logo

by: Anna Massey

        In my graphic design class we were given the task to re-event our old logo. My old logo composed of the same elements my new one contains but at the same time very different. The new logo contains the same color scheme and idea of chevron, but the font and initials were not only layered out different but also a different font face including hand drawn initials. 

        Obliviously this old logo is awful in more ways than one. For one this was my first project, and the actual initials aren't bold enough. The logo unappealing to the eye doesn't attract attention.  

         My new logo consists of the colors of navy, coral, and light blue. They all represent a different side of me. navy for the shy, blue for the calm and longing for the ocean, and coral for the outgoing side.

         I started off with a mood board of the industry of video, because i would like to go into the same industry as my dad. Finally I created a business card for myself that I would like to use in the future.  

        

 eMagine is a media festival where students that are involved in media production to showcase their projects. eMagine require's for students to go and participate, and you cant you have an alternate assignment. In eMagine they give away awards for the best in show. eMagine is great because it give students a chance to win awards and be appreciated for their hard work. Emagine has different divisions you can apply and win in, such as short films, news packages, animations, graphic design posters &logos, and so much more. Everyone should attend eMagine at least once in their life because it will be a great experience.

Kerning Game:

     The kerning game is when you take letters and move them so they achieve correct spacing.When I first played this game I didn't understand what kerning was, but after the game I did. Th game was pretty easy and got four hundreds. The game really helped understand kerning.

google

     Google's logo is well known around the world. The logo is simple but has meaning behind it. Designed by Ruth Kedar the logo contains a simple clean-cut font with primary colors included. The colors even have a story behind them that includes the primary colors: Blue, Red, and Yellow. But not only that Kedar includes one secondary color, green. Some colors are repetitive; Red and Blue. While Yellow and Green are included once. The colors don't follow a pattern and as well the secondary color on green stands out not following the scheme, which shows the representation that google doesn't follow the rules.

     The logos were not always the same every time redone. The first logo had the "G" green, as well a few years later an explanation mark same as Yahoo! but eventually over time the logo grew into the clean-cut design their is now. Google Doodles were also created in 2000. They are different Google logo on special days. They included special birthdays, holidays, and even the Olympics. The logo may look simple but if you look close enough their is a story behind it.
